Custom Shopify theme development

I build custom Online Store 2.0 themes from your design, from $2,700 (60 hours at $45), usually in 3 to 5 weeks.

I build custom Shopify themes from your Figma, Adobe XD or PSD design on Online Store 2.0, with every section and block editable in the theme editor. It suits brands whose design a stock theme can't match, and agencies that need the build done. A theme starts at $2,700 (60 hours at $45) and usually takes 3 to 5 weeks.

Who it's for

  • Brands with a finished design that no Theme Store theme can match
  • Stores whose current theme has become slow or hard to edit after years of patches
  • Agencies that design in-house and need a Shopify developer for the build

What you get

  • An Online Store 2.0 theme: JSON templates, sections, blocks and section groups
  • Settings and presets on every section, so your team edits content in the theme editor without touching code
  • Metafields and metaobjects for content that changes per product
  • Responsive layouts checked at phone, tablet and desktop widths
  • A Lighthouse and axe-core check on each main template before launch
  • The theme in your GitHub repo or as an uploadable theme zip
  • A short Loom video showing your team how to edit each section

How it works

  1. 01 A call or email about the design, your apps and the deadline
  2. 02 A written scope and a fixed quote in hours at $45
  3. 03 The build on an unpublished theme, with a preview link as each template is done
  4. 04 Two rounds of changes against the design
  5. 05 Speed and accessibility checks, then launch
  6. 06 30 days of bug fixes after launch

3 to 5 weeks for most themes. Large catalogues or many custom templates take longer, and the quote will say so.

When you don't need me

If you're launching your first store with a small catalogue, a good theme from the Shopify Theme Store plus a few custom sections will cost much less, and I'll tell you if that's the better fit. I also don't do brand or visual design, so bring a finished design or hire a designer first.

FAQ

Questions

Most stores don't need a full custom theme. If your current theme is fast and close to the layout you want, custom sections on top of it cost less; one section starts at $135. A custom theme makes sense when your design can't be built from the theme's sections, or when the theme has become slow and hard to edit.

Yes. Every section has settings and presets in the theme editor, and product-specific content comes from metafields, so your team can change text, images and layouts without touching Liquid.

I test every app you use on the new theme before launch and measure what each one costs in load time. Where an app only adds a small feature, I can often build that feature into the theme so you can drop the app.

The design files, collaborator access to your store, the list of apps you use and whatever content you already have. If parts of the design aren't final, I can start on the templates that are.
