SHOPIFY · CUSTOM THEMES
Custom Shopify Theme Development
Bespoke Shopify 2.0 themes built from scratch in Liquid. Modular sections, merchant-friendly customisation, fast load times and pixel-perfect Figma fidelity. Built for brands that have outgrown ThemeForest.
When a stock theme is no longer enough
Off-the-shelf Shopify themes are a great place to start, but eventually the limits show up. You want a custom product page layout the theme cannot do. You want a quiz, a bundle builder, a complex collection grid, or a press section. You want Lighthouse scores above 70 on mobile, and your current theme is loading 800KB of unused CSS. That is when it makes sense to invest in a custom theme.
I build Shopify themes on the modern 2.0 architecture — JSON templates, dynamic sections, app blocks and clean Liquid. Your merchandiser can rearrange the homepage from the Online Store editor without touching code, and your developers get a codebase that is easy to extend.
What a custom theme includes
Liquid & sections
Hand-coded Liquid templates, JSON-based section settings and reusable section groups for the header, footer and homepage. Every component is documented.
PDP & cart
Custom product page with variant pickers, size guides, reviews, FAQs, bundle suggestions and a drawer cart with upsells and accurate inventory states.
Performance built in
Minimal JS, native lazy-loading, responsive images, font preloading and a strict third-party script policy. Mobile PageSpeed 70+ at launch.
Theme migration
If you are already running on Dawn, Impulse, Prestige or another premium theme, I can migrate your store onto a new custom theme without losing any of your content, metafields, app blocks or customer data. Migration projects are quoted as a single fixed price with two checkpoints: a working staging build, and a final production launch in a quiet window.

Frequently asked
How long does a custom theme take?
3–6 weeks depending on scope. Most builds break down into design (1–2 weeks), development (2–3 weeks) and QA / launch (1 week).
Do you provide design or just code?
Both. I can work from your Figma file, or design from scratch with you. If you already have a strong brand, design moves quickly.
Will my apps keep working?
Yes. Apps using app blocks slot in directly. Apps using legacy snippets are re-integrated as part of the migration, and tested end-to-end.
