Shopify: Theme Development

Shoppers judge your brand by your store, and a stock theme gives them nothing to remember.

A Store That Looks Yours

Your store works, but it looks like plenty of others, and the theme fights you every time you want something different. It may also drag on phones, where shoppers have little patience.

We build custom themes from scratch in Liquid, Shopify’s template language, or heavily customize the one you have. The focus stays on fast load times, mobile-first design and layouts that turn browsers into buyers.

From Design to Live Theme

1

Review Design

We work from your Figma, Adobe XD or Sketch file, or even rough wireframes, and list the sections you need.

2

Build Sections

Liquid templates and reusable sections take shape on Online Store 2.0, so your team can edit pages without code.

3

Tune Speed

We check load times and mobile layouts across devices, then fix whatever slows the store down.

4

Test and Launch

Your apps and integrations get tested with the new theme before it goes live on your store.

Why Choose System Strats

We’ve built Shopify operations for a range of brands. A theme has to serve those operations too, so we build yours to work with your apps and integrations as well as your brand.
