Performance budget set up front
We agree LCP, CLS, and INP targets before the build and measure against them at every milestone, so speed is a constraint rather than a cleanup phase.

PlusShopify Theme Development
Custom themes engineered for Core Web Vitals, accessibility, and merchandiser control — not just a visual refresh.
- Starting at
- From $4,500
- Timeline
- 4–8 weeks
A theme is the only part of your store every shopper touches, and the only part where a bad decision costs you on every session. We build themes to a measured performance budget, with components your merchandisers can actually rearrange.
What's included
Online Store 2.0 sections
Every page composed of named, reorderable sections with sensible defaults, so a campaign is a merchandising task rather than a ticket.
Accessibility built in
Keyboard-navigable menus, focus states, colour contrast checked against WCAG, and semantic markup — done during the build, where it is cheap.
Component library
Cards, galleries, drawers, and forms built once and reused, so the twentieth page costs a fraction of the first.
Native features over apps
Swatches, size guides, sticky add-to-cart, quick view, and mega menus built into the theme rather than bolted on as scripts.
How we work
- Step 1
Audit
Field data from your current theme: what is slow, what breaks, and which templates carry the traffic.
- Step 2
Design
Templates and components designed against real products and real copy lengths.
- Step 3
Build
Section-by-section implementation with a staging preview and a performance check at each milestone.
- Step 4
Handover
Documentation for each section, plus a session with the people who will merchandise it.
