How I think about Shopify design

Design built for Liquid, not retrofitted to it.

Most Shopify designs lose 20% of their polish on the way to Liquid — section limits guessed wrong, theme settings exposed too much, the cart drawer becomes a different brand experience. I design with section architecture in mind from day one, so what your stakeholders sign off on is exactly what merchandisers can ship — without breaking the design downstream.

Design services

Eight Shopify design services I deliver every month

01

Figma-to-Shopify (Liquid)

Pixel-faithful Liquid build from your designer's Figma. Component inventory carried into Online Store 2.0 sections, design tokens into theme settings, every state implemented — hover, focus, active, disabled, loading.

  • Component-driven Liquid build (matches your Figma library)
  • Theme settings exposed for merchandiser self-serve, locked elsewhere
  • Type scale, spacing, color tokens preserved exactly
  • All hover / focus / active / disabled / loading states implemented
  • Cart drawer + mini-cart matched to brand, not Dawn defaults
02

Original Shopify design from a brief

Bring a brief and brand — I design and build the Shopify store from scratch. Wireframes, then high-fidelity Figma, then the Liquid build. Two design rounds + one polish round baked into the quote.

  • Stakeholder interview, audience research, competitor audit
  • Wireframes for layout, hierarchy, content priority
  • High-fidelity Figma with full design system
  • Two design rounds + one polish round included
  • Build straight from the approved Figma file
03

Editorial PDPs for luxury & fashion

Product pages that feel like a brand campaign — image-led hero, type-set variant rail, scroll-linked storytelling, trust signals at the right moments, and a checkout that does not lose the brand at the last step.

  • Hero gallery with cinematic image transitions
  • Variant picker that respects the type system
  • Editorial story blocks between PDP and reviews
  • Sticky ATC on mobile, drawer cart UX considered for brand
  • Look-book and styling-suggestion modules
04

Theme refresh & redesign

Modernise an aging Shopify store without losing orders, customer data, or rankings. Visual refresh, type system upgrade, motion language, design-system rebuild — shipped on a development store with a planned cutover.

  • Visual audit + competitor benchmarking
  • Section-by-section upgrade plan, prioritised by traffic
  • Development-store-first build with planned cutover
  • URL preservation + redirect map (no SEO loss)
  • Post-launch monitoring of CWV, conversion rate, AOV
05

Shopify design systems

Build a real design system you can reuse — Figma library + matching Shopify sections, blocks and snippets — so future pages take hours, not days, and stay on-brand without supervision.

  • Color, type, spacing tokens (Figma variables + theme.liquid CSS vars)
  • Component inventory with variants, states, props
  • Matching Shopify sections / blocks / snippets
  • Documentation Notion / Figma file so merchandisers self-serve
  • Version-bumped releases as the system evolves
06

Accessibility & inclusive commerce

WCAG 2.2 AA from day one — semantic Liquid, keyboard checkout, screen-reader-labelled variant selectors, contrast checks, motion preferences. Accessibility is a design decision, not a post-launch audit.

  • Color contrast verified at design stage with Stark / Figma plugins
  • Keyboard navigation map + focus rings designed in
  • Variant pickers labelled for screen readers
  • Cart drawer + checkout focus management
  • axe + Lighthouse audits at every dev-store milestone
07

Conversion-tuned PDP, cart & checkout

Design that converts as well as it looks. CTAs that hold their hierarchy, trust elements that arrive at the right moment, cart drawer UX tuned for AOV, and checkout extensions that earn the upsell without feeling pushy.

  • Above-the-fold ATC, always visible on mobile
  • Trust strip placement per audience (luxury vs DTC vs B2B)
  • Cart drawer with bundling, gift-with-purchase, free-shipping bar
  • Post-purchase 1-click upsell design that respects the brand
  • Shopify checkout UI extensions for on-brand last mile
08

Headless / Hydrogen design

When the brand needs faster-than-Liquid, custom routing, or to power a mobile app from the same data, I design and build on Hydrogen + Oxygen — Shopify as the engine, your brand as the front.

  • Hydrogen (React Server Components on Oxygen)
  • Or Next.js / Astro with Storefront API
  • Sub-second TTFB, streaming, ISR for collection pages
  • Branded checkout via Checkout UI extensions
  • Customer-account portal designed for your audience

FAQ

Shopify website design — common questions

Do you design and build, or just build from a designer's file?

Both. About half are design-and-build (I design the store, then Liquid it). The other half are build-only (your designer hands off Figma, I implement). Either works — quote scope shifts.

Will my Shopify store match the Figma exactly?

Yes — pixel-faithful is the default. I work from Figma Inspect for exact values, build a Liquid token system from Figma variables, and test every breakpoint against the file. If something has to deviate (Shopify section limit, accessibility need), I flag it before changing anything.

Can my non-technical team edit pages without breaking the design?

Yes — Online Store 2.0 sections expose only the settings that should be editable (text, image, link). Layout, type and spacing are locked at the theme level so merchandisers cannot accidentally break the design while updating a banner.

Do you use Shogun, PageFly, or other page builders?

Only when a non-technical merchandising team needs to ship weekly landing pages with full visual freedom. For most stores, native section architecture gives 90% of the flexibility with none of the LCP penalty. I will recommend a builder only when velocity justifies the cost.

How accessible is the final design?

WCAG 2.2 AA by default — color contrast, keyboard navigation, focus rings, ARIA labels on variant selectors, alt-text discipline, reduced-motion handling. axe and Lighthouse audits at every staging milestone, written accessibility statement at launch.

How fast will the designed store be?

LCP under 2.0s, INP under 200ms, CLS under 0.1 on a real PDP under load. Self-hosted variable fonts, AVIF / WebP image pipeline via Shopify CDN, deferred scripts, app-bloat audit. Editorial design and green CWV are not in tension.

Can you redesign my existing Shopify store?

Yes. Theme refresh is one of the most common engagements. I build on a development store, preserve URLs and customer data, and plan a cutover that does not lose orders or rankings. Most refreshes ship in 4–6 weeks.

How much does Shopify design cost?

Design-and-build $5k–$15k for marketing-led DTC stores, $8k–$25k for editorial / fashion, $15k–$50k for Plus / B2B or Hydrogen. Build-only (Figma-to-Liquid) typically lands 30–40% lower. Every quote is fixed-price.
