A custom storefront with Shopify's commerce engine underneath — built and managed end to end.
Your store on your own domain
We point Shopify to your primary domain (yourbrand.com or yourbrand.com/shop) — not a shop. subdomain and never a *.myshopify.com address. One brand, one domain.
Custom-coded storefront — not a theme
A headless front end built on the Shopify Storefront API, designed around your brand. No cookie-cutter theme that looks like every other store.
Shopify-powered cart & checkout
Real Shopify checkout, payments, taxes, shipping, inventory, and order management — the reliable commerce engine, behind your custom front end.
95%+ PageSpeed, mobile-first
The same performance standard as our websites. Fast stores convert better and rank better than slow theme builders.
Built-in SEO + AI-assistant optimization
Product schema, clean URLs, meta tags, and LLM optimization so your products show up in Google and in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude answers.
Why “On Your Own Domain” Matters
Most Shopify setups bolt the store onto a subdomain. Ours lives on your primary domain — and that difference compounds.
Your domain, not a subdomain
Because the store is headless, it lives on your primary domain — so every sale, link, and review builds your brand's authority in one place, instead of splitting it across a shop. subdomain or a myshopify.com URL.
Consolidated SEO authority
Search engines treat subdomains as somewhat separate sites. Keeping your store and content on one domain concentrates your ranking signals where they help most.
On-brand checkout & trust
Customers stay on your branded domain through browsing and checkout. No jarring jump to a generic storefront URL right at the moment they're about to pay.
Custom speed & design
Hand-built front ends hit 95%+ PageSpeed and look exactly like your brand — versus heavy drag-and-drop themes that load slowly and look templated.
Our Shopify Build Process

Discovery & catalog planning
We map your products, collections, variants, and how customers should move from browse to checkout — and confirm the domain setup for your store.
Design & storefront build
We design a custom, on-brand storefront and build it headlessly on the Shopify Storefront API — product pages, collections, search, and cart.
Checkout, payments & testing
We connect Shopify checkout, payments, shipping, and taxes, then test the full purchase flow across devices before launch.
Launch on your domain & support
We launch the store on your own domain and provide ongoing updates, product help, and maintenance so you can focus on selling.

Shopify Development FAQ
Common questions about our custom Shopify stores
Will my store be on my own domain or a subdomain?+
Your own domain. Because we build headlessly, the storefront runs on your primary domain (e.g. yourbrand.com or yourbrand.com/shop) — not shop.yourbrand.com and never a *.myshopify.com address. Your brand and SEO stay in one place.
What is a 'headless' Shopify store?+
It means Shopify still powers your products, cart, and checkout behind the scenes, but the storefront customers see is a custom-coded front end we build. You get Shopify's reliable commerce engine with a fast, fully-branded site instead of a stock theme.
Do I still need a Shopify subscription?+
Yes — Shopify handles payments, checkout, inventory, and orders, so you'll have a Shopify plan. We build and manage the custom storefront on top of it. We'll help you pick the right plan for your catalog size.
Can you migrate my existing store or products?+
Yes. We can import your existing products and collections into Shopify and rebuild the storefront on your domain. We'll scope the migration during discovery.
Can I manage products and orders myself?+
Absolutely. You use the standard Shopify admin to add products, manage inventory, and fulfill orders. The custom front end updates automatically from your Shopify data.
How much does a Shopify store cost?+
It's a custom build, so pricing depends on your catalog size and features — a one-time build plus monthly management (on top of your Shopify plan). Contact us for a quote, and see our live demo stores to gauge the quality.
Can you show me real examples?+
Yes — we have live demo storefronts in three different industries (handcrafted goods, industrial equipment, and skincare). Browse them from this page before you commit.
