The problem

What's stopping you from launching with the theme you bought?

  • I bought Dawn / Sense / Studio / Impulse and now my store looks exactly like 50,000 other stores.
  • The theme editor only takes me 60% of the way. The rest needs Liquid I don't write.
  • I want a real designer's eye on color, type, and spacing, not just a logo upload.
  • I have a launch date. I don't have time for a 6-week redesign sprint.

Questions

Probably already answered.

Why this instead of just hiring a Shopify expert on Upwork?

Theme work is one of the most outsourced jobs on the platform, and the freelancer race-to-the-bottom shows. You'll spend $300, get a $300 result, then pay someone else to redo it. Our $1,800 sprint is a senior Shopify designer + developer pair working on your store for 2 weeks. The output is theme-maintainable, mobile-clean, and on-brand. Different sport.

What if I haven't picked a theme yet?

We'll recommend one based on your niche, products, and goals. Beauty brands tend toward Impulse or Prestige. Fashion brands like Studio or Symmetry. Food and beverage tend toward Sense or Pipeline. The recommendation is part of kickoff, no extra cost.

Will the theme look unique after you customise it?

Yes. The theme is the engine; the brand is what people see. By the time we ship, your store will not look like the theme demo. It will look like your brand on the platform's most reliable engine. The advantage is maintainability, future updates, app compatibility, and Shopify support all stay intact.

What if I need more than 8 custom sections?

Each additional 5 sections is +$500. Most brands land between 4 and 10 sections. If you're past that, we usually suggest looking at our Redesign service ($7,500+) which is built around custom-section-heavy work.

How is this different from your Setup service?

Setup is for founders who don't have a Shopify store yet, no account, no theme, no products loaded. We do everything, soup to nuts, From $2,800. Theme Customization is for founders who already have all that, picked a theme, and want it to look custom-branded. From $1,800, faster, narrower scope.

Can you customise a paid theme I bought from a third-party seller?

Yes, as long as the theme is a legitimate Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme with documented section schema. Themes from the official Shopify Theme Store and reputable third parties (e.g. Out of the Sandbox, Pixel Union, Switch Themes) all work. Heavily-customised legacy themes need an audit first.
