What this covers

Front-end build

Turning a design into a working, responsive Shopify theme using Liquid, JSON templates, and Shopify's section/block architecture — without template bloat.

Performance engineering

Image delivery, script loading order, app audits, and Core Web Vitals tuning. Most speed problems come from unused apps, not the theme.

Custom functionality

Product bundles, subscription and recharge flows, gated wholesale sections, custom filtering — anything Shopify doesn't ship out of the box.

Headless / hybrid builds

For brands with complex content needs, decoupling the front end from Shopify's checkout while keeping Shopify as the commerce engine.

Migration

Moving an existing store from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, or Wix onto Shopify without losing SEO equity or historical order data.

CRO built in

Conversion-first UX decisions made during the build itself, not bolted on afterward as a separate redesign once traffic stops converting.

What we build with

✓Sub-second load times and a 95+ Lighthouse performance score as a baseline
✓Mobile-first CRO UX — designed mobile-first and adapted up, not the other way around
✓Clean Liquid architecture without page-builder app bloat
✓Custom bundle and subscription setups matched to how the brand actually sells

What to check before hiring

Can they show a live store they built, not just a portfolio screenshot?
Do they talk about Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scores specifically, or just "we'll make it fast"?
Is CRO part of the build, or a separate line item you buy later?
Who owns the store after launch — theme, code, and admin access?
What's the plan for redirects and structured data if this is a migration?

Birmingham's D2C brands compete in a market where store experience genuinely matters. If yours needs work, this is where to start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both. We scope the build around your order volume, checkout customization needs, and whether you need Shopify Plus features like scripts or multi-currency.

It depends on the audit. Some stores just need targeted performance and CRO fixes; others have accumulated enough app bloat and template debt that a rebuild is the faster, cheaper path long-term.

It depends entirely on scope — a focused CRO/performance pass costs far less than a full headless rebuild. We give a fixed quote after the audit, not before, so you're not paying for guesswork.

Yes, for brands with complex content needs or multi-storefront requirements. We scope it carefully though — headless adds real engineering overhead, and it isn't the right call for every store.

Not if it's planned properly. Redirects, structured data, and indexed URL structure all need a migration plan before the move starts, not after rankings drop.

You do — theme, code, and admin access, fully in your hands. We build Shopify-native, not on a proprietary stack that makes it hard to leave.

Yes. Launch includes a monitored go-live and QA pass, and we offer ongoing support and maintenance retainers for brands that want a dedicated team on call.

A freelancer is usually one person covering design, development, and QA alone. An agency build means dedicated people for each discipline working in parallel, plus continuity if someone's unavailable mid-project.
