E-commerce Development · Montréal
Online stores that bring your brand to life and make shopping straightforward. We build and redesign Shopify stores, from theme-based experiences to custom Next.js storefronts when greater flexibility is needed. Depending on your scope, we organize products and collections, develop shopping features, connect relevant tools, and refine existing content and imagery. Each project includes testing of the agreed shopping journey and guidance for managing the store.
Discuss your project
An online store needs more than a strong first impression. Customers need to find relevant products, understand their options and move through an agreed purchase journey. We build and redesign Shopify stores around that experience, with a theme-based approach or a custom Next.js storefront when the business needs greater flexibility. The platform choice follows the requirements, rather than setting complexity as the starting point.
A theme-based store can provide a practical foundation for product pages, collections and brand presentation. We scope the sections, navigation and shopping features that matter to your catalog and customers, including improvements to an existing store.
When the frontend needs more flexibility, we can scope a custom Next.js experience connected to Shopify. This introduces additional integration and maintenance considerations. We compare the required customization with a theme-based approach before deciding how the store should be built.
Products, collections, variants, imagery and copy need a consistent structure. Depending on scope, we help organize the catalog, refine supplied content and imagery, and connect relevant tools. Product information and brand content remain subject to your approval.
01
Review products, variants, collections, markets and the intended shopping journey. Agree on the platform approach, required tools and content responsibilities.
02
Build the agreed layouts and shopping features, connect catalog data and integrations, and review how the brand appears throughout the store.
03
Check product discovery, selected options, cart behaviour and the agreed checkout path using appropriate test arrangements. Document the store-management workflow and handover.
Prepare product data, images, variants, collection structure and the accounts needed for the agreed scope. Payment, shipping, tax settings, policies and platform costs need clear ownership. Migrations, subscriptions, large catalogs and complex integrations require specific planning.
The beauty storefront case illustrates a custom frontend connected to Shopify, with product discovery and a shopping journey. It is labelled as a demonstration; screenshots are examples of design and implementation, not evidence of sales results.
Yes. We can scope improvements to an existing Shopify store, from brand presentation and navigation to product and collection layouts. Existing apps, content, theme constraints and any migration requirements are reviewed before work begins.
A theme-based experience is a useful starting point when it supports the required features. A custom frontend may make sense for requirements that need greater presentation or interaction flexibility. We consider build complexity, integrations, editing and ongoing maintenance alongside design.
Yes, within an agreed catalog scope. We can structure collections, product presentation and selected shopping features. You provide or approve product facts, options, pricing and imagery; large imports or data cleanup need to be included explicitly.
Content and imagery refinement can be included. AI-assisted content or image work may be appropriate when based on approved brand material, with review before use. Product images and descriptions must accurately represent what customers will receive.
Testing follows the agreed shopping journey. It can include product and collection navigation, variants, cart changes and the checkout path, plus responsive layouts and relevant integrations. Payment testing uses the agreed test environment; screenshots alone do not verify transactions.
Platform subscriptions, app fees and transaction costs are identified separately from development work unless the quote says otherwise. We clarify account ownership and recurring tool costs while scoping the project.
Catalog size, design requirements, theme or custom-frontend choice, integrations, migrations, languages and content readiness all affect the estimate. We agree on deliverables, review steps and testing before confirming the quote and schedule.
