Custom Shopify store design and development for growing brands
About This Service
I design and engineer custom Shopify 2.0 themes tailored strictly for direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands that want to stand out from generic drop-shipping templates. Every store is hand-coded using modern Shopify Liquid, semantic HTML, and performant CSS to ensure sub-2-second load times on mobile networks. Your site will feature custom modular sections that your internal marketing team can rearrange effortlessly without touching code. I also set up critical e-commerce integrations including Klaviyo email flows, subscription tools (Recharge/Smartrr), customer review widgets, and advanced bundle builders.

Client Reviews
Olivia Vance
Luminary Brands · Austin, TX
"Daniel delivered our new Shopify storefront 4 days ahead of schedule. The custom slide-out cart and bundle builder alone raised our average order value from $68 to $94 within our first 10 days of launch. Flawless communication."
Marcus Vance

"Best Shopify developer we have ever contracted. Daniel knows Liquid inside and out and solved complex third-party app conflicts that two previous agencies could not fix."
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to edit text and images myself later?
Yes, 100%. Everything is built using Shopify 2.0 sections so you can modify text, banners, and layouts in the native theme customizer without coding.
How do you handle store migrations from WooCommerce or Magento?
I can export customer records, order history, and product catalogs directly into your new Shopify store with 301 redirects to protect SEO.
Do you charge extra for mobile optimization?
No. Mobile UX is built directly into every tier from day one, accounting for over 70% of modern ecommerce traffic.
