Custom Shopify Websites

Sometimes the out of the box standard Shopify Themes won't cut it. When you need a website that is designed to make a statement, one that is unlike your competitors and designed to leave a lasting impression.

We have created custom Shopify Websites for over 10 years. We would even venture to say that this is our specialty. Don't believe us? Check out these full custom sites we recently built.

Is a custom Shopify website right for you?

Budget Considerations

Custom websites are obviously going to be more expensive due to the amount of time that needs to be put into them. At a minimum we are looking at 250 hours of work ($25k). However, we can tailor the project towards your needs... perhaps every page doesn't need to be custom and instead we use a blended approach. A few fully custom pages mixed in with the standard Shopify template. This approach allows us to bend to your needs when needed.

You need a website that stands out

Having a site that stands out amongst a sea of competitors is important. Your customers are going to judge you based on your sites design. If it doesn't feel special then that will reflect in their opinion of your brand. You can build trust, build intrigue, and build wonder with a custom Shopify website.

One of our favorites is this custom Shopify website we built for Cousins Maine Lobster. They have such a powerful brand that no ordinary site would do it justice.

You need custom functionality

We have the ability to create nearly any functionality for your store. For example, we've created the ability for customers to see how long their shipment will take based on the amount they order on ZIA TILE. This is fully custom functionality integrated with their ERP.

Every business has different needs and we're here to solve all those problems associated with yours. Building a custom Shopify website gives us the freedom to creatively address your specific needs with custom applications and functionality.

In the lower left you can see the "Lead Time" field. This is a dynamic field pulling in real time data. It will automatically update based on the quantity selected.
This "Also Comes In" module automatically pulls in products based on a certain SKU parameters. This guarantees we are pulling in products that are related to the main product.
