02 · Shopify & MERN Development

Custom storefronts. Built to scale.

Custom Shopify themes, headless Hydrogen, MERN-stack apps, and the integrations that hold it all together — Stripe, Klaviyo, HubSpot, and your own APIs.

03The challenge

Your storefront is the bottleneck.

Theme bloat slowing CWV. Apps stacking on apps. Engineering constraints driving the merch calendar instead of the other way around. Time to talk about a build.

04Approach

Four moves, in order.

01

Design system first

Tokens, components, brand guidelines — the foundation builds on.

02

Headless or themed

Hydrogen for ambitious brands, custom Shopify themes for the rest.

03

Integration model

Single event bus across Klaviyo, HubSpot, Stripe, and your APIs.

04

Performance budget

All-green Core Web Vitals as a launch criterion, not a nice-to-have.

05What's included

Every lever, in one engagement.

Custom theme dev

Liquid + Hydrogen + React + TypeScript.

Design tokens

Color, type, spacing — wired to a Tailwind config you own.

Component library

Typed, documented, story-booked.

Checkout extensions

Custom Shopify Functions where they matter.

Headless apps

Next.js / MERN dashboards on top of Shopify Admin API.

Subscriptions

Recharge, Stay AI, or Bold — wired into Klaviyo lifecycle flows.

CWV optimization

All-green LCP / CLS / INP, monitored.

Migration

Zero-downtime switchovers from BigCommerce / WooCommerce / Magento.

06Process

How the cycle runs.

Four moves, repeated every quarter. Each one stacks on the last — compounding is the system, not an outcome we hope for.

01

01 · Design tokens

Brand → tokens → component library inside two weeks.

02

02 · Build sprints

Two-week sprints, every demo lives on a staging URL.

03

03 · Integrations

Stripe / Klaviyo / Recharge wired into one event model.

04

04 · Launch

Cutover scheduled for off-peak. Monitored for 14 days post-go-live.

08The deliverable

What you ship

A storefront that loads in under 1.5s, an admin your merch team can drive solo, and an integration layer that doesn't break when you add the next app.

Sample deliverable

Visual lands here once we ship cycle one.

11How we engage

Two ways to work together.

Every engagement is custom-scoped to your stage, channels, and margin profile — share a brief and we’ll come back with a plan inside a week.

Pilot

Start here

First 90 days. Audit, plan, and the first cycle of work — designed to compound.

  • Discovery + audit · 5 days
  • Roadmap locked, milestones agreed
  • First cycle of Shopify build + ongoing dev
  • Weekly motion + reporting

Operator

After pilot

Ongoing partnership. We run Shopify build + ongoing dev as a dedicated part of your stack.

  • Dedicated lead + specialist
  • Bi-weekly strategy calls
  • Quarterly portfolio reviews
  • Compounding 90-day cycles

Ready when you are

Tell us what you’re building — we’ll come back with a plan and the right shape inside a week.

12FAQ

The questions we hear most.

Theme or headless?

Honest answer: themed if your team is small and your stack is standard. Headless if you're shipping bespoke merchandising or you've outgrown app stack performance.

How fast can you migrate?

Six weeks is the sweet spot. We've done four — but quality drops below that.

Do you maintain after launch?

Yes. Most clients keep us on a retainer for ongoing dev + monitoring.

What about checkout?

We extend with Shopify Functions where useful. We don't replace Shopify Checkout — that's a fight you don't want.

Performance budget?

All-green Core Web Vitals at launch is non-negotiable. Below that we don't ship.

Headless Hydrogen build delivered in 6 weeks. Core Web Vitals all green. The team handled migration without a single day of downtime.

15Guarantees

What we promise on day one.

  • 30-day exit clause after the first 90 — we'd rather lose a contract than a reputation.

  • Single accountable team — no rotating account managers.

  • Reporting built around margin and outcome, not hours billed.

  • All assets we produce are yours. Forever. No license traps.

16Onboarding flow

From hello to cycle one.

01

Discovery call

30-min call. We surface the actual constraints, not the symptoms.

02

Audit + plan

Five-day audit, locked roadmap, milestones agreed in writing.

03

Cycle one

Work starts within a week of sign-off. First cycle inside 30 days.
