Shopify theme development

Two ways forward for brands that have outgrown a ready-made Shopify theme: adapt the theme you have to your brand, or build a custom Online Store 2.0 theme from scratch in Liquid. Either way, every section stays editable in the theme editor.

Who it’s for

  • Brands selling on Shopify that want to look different from every other store on the same theme
  • Stores preparing to sell abroad in several languages and currencies
  • Catalogues with long, technical product information that needs a custom product page
  • Stores slowed down by app bloat that want a leaner theme

What’s included

6 items
01

Online Store 2.0 structure

JSON templates and sections: add, remove and reorder sections on any page from the theme editor.

02

Brand-specific sections

Showcases, collection features, comparison tables, bundles: sections written for what your brand needs.

03

Product and collection pages

Variant selection, metafield-driven specifications, filtering and a clean path to cart.

04

Languages and currencies

Built to work with Shopify Markets: translation-ready copy structure and correct price display.

05

Pre-launch audit

Theme Check, accessibility, mobile layout and speed measurement before anything goes live.

Handover

A walkthrough of the theme editor, a change log and the full source code.

Start with this package

If your project sits between two packages, we define the scope together. Timelines are confirmed in writing after the brief.

How it works

  1. 1

    Discovery and brief

    Markets, product structure, apps and stores you like are discussed; the scope is written down.

  2. 2

    Design system and home page

    The design language and home page sections are shown and approved first.

  3. 3

    Product, collection and cart

    The sales flow is built with real products and tested with your apps.

  4. 4

    Audit and launch

    The theme is tested in preview, the checklist is completed and it goes live.

What sets the price

  • Number of custom sections and page templates
  • Number of languages and markets
  • Custom product page fields and metafield structure
  • Number of apps the theme needs to work with
  • Whether a design already exists

Questions and answers

5 questions
01Should I use a Theme Store theme or a custom theme?

Theme Store themes are a fast start and enough for small catalogues with standard needs. If your brand needs its own look, custom product page fields or lighter code, a custom theme is the better fit. There is also a middle way: adapting your current theme to your brand.

02Why build from scratch instead of editing my current theme?

Ready-made themes ship sections you never use, and patches pile up over time, which slows the store down and makes maintenance harder. A theme written from scratch contains only the code you use, and new sections are easier to add.

03Will my apps still work?

Online Store 2.0 compatible apps work through app blocks added in the theme editor. I collect your app list during discovery and test them one by one.

04Who owns the theme?

You do. The delivered theme and its source code are yours to use in your store.

05Do you work with clients outside Türkiye?

Yes. I work remotely, in English, with clients in Türkiye and abroad. Payment is split into two parts: half at the start and half on delivery.
