Our Shopify design service is a comprehensive solution tailored to your unique business needs and brand identity. Whether you're launching on Shopify or scaling with Shopify Plus, we begin by understanding your target audience and goals, then create custom designs that reflect your brand’s personality. This includes user experience (UX) strategy, wireframing, bespoke theme development or customising existing themes, mobile optimisation, and integrating essential ecommerce features like product pages, cart, and checkout. Beyond aesthetics, we focus on usability and conversion optimisation to ensure your store not only looks great but also drives sales effectively.
Grow your brand, without costing the planet or your budget
Our approach to Shopify design combines thoughtful strategy, eco-conscious values, and transparent teamwork. We start by immersing ourselves in your brand identity, customer needs, and future ambitions, ensuring that every element of your store supports your vision responsibly. Prioritising clean, efficient design and accessibility, we craft ecommerce experiences that look stunning while reducing digital waste. From mapping user flows and creating wireframes to delivering refined visuals and smooth developer collaboration, each phase is carefully planned to create a Shopify store that grows with your business, without compromising on sustainability or user experience.
Our Shopify Development Process
UX Planning & Wireframing
Visual Design
Development & Launch
Optimisation & Ongoing Support
We begin every Shopify design project with a deep discovery phase that involves understanding your brand, product range, audience behaviours, and conversion goals. Rather than jumping straight into visuals, we prioritise user journeys, functionality planning, and wireframing to map how your customers will navigate the site. This includes identifying key content areas, mobile responsiveness needs, and UX best practices tailored to ecommerce. Wireframes provide a clear blueprint that aligns with your goals, streamlines the design process, and ensures your Shopify store feels intuitive, purposeful, and primed for growth.
Once the structure is mapped out, we move into the visual design phase, where your brand truly comes to life. We craft a custom design system using your existing brand assets or new creative direction, focusing on layouts, typography, imagery, and UI elements that enhance both aesthetics and usability. Our visual designs aim to do more with less, choosing clean, impactful elements over clutter, and avoiding heavy, resource-intensive components where possible. Every visual decision is made through the lens of strategy and sustainability, supporting conversion, storytelling, and long-term usability across all devices while keeping digital impact to a minimum.
With final designs approved, we prepare a complete design package for handoff to development, either to your in-house team or ours. We provide annotated files, responsive mockups, and detailed specs, ensuring everything is documented clearly for a smooth, eco-efficient build. Throughout this phase, we maintain close communication with developers to guarantee design integrity, functionality alignment, and brand consistency. This collaborative workflow reduces back-and-forth, keeps your project moving efficiently, and results in a pixel-perfect Shopify store that reflects your original vision.
Design doesn’t stop at launch. As customer needs and ecommerce trends evolve, we offer ongoing support and design optimisation to keep your store relevant and high-performing. This includes iterative design updates, new feature layouts, homepage refreshes, seasonal campaigns, and UX enhancements based on data and customer feedback. By continually refining your Shopify store’s design, we help you stay competitive, deliver fresh brand experiences, and support long-term ecommerce growth, all while maintaining a clean, user-first aesthetic.

Sustainable UX Design
Great UX design should feel easy, for users and the planet. At Noughts & Ones, we design simple, intuitive digital experiences that load quickly, use less code, and cut out anything unnecessary to keep things light on the environment. By removing the hurdles that slow potential customers down and smoothing the entire journey, we make it easier for more people to reach checkout, resulting in happier users, a smaller footprint, and ultimately, a stronger business.
Shopify Custom Theme Design
Your Shopify store should feel like you, not just another template with your logo on top. That’s why we design custom themes around your brand’s personality and your customers’ needs. Whether you're on Shopify or Shopify Plus, Noughts & Ones creates stores that look great, work hard, and are easy to use, smooth to navigate, and built to grow. We blend creativity with strategy to make your store stand out and sell.
Email Design
A great Shopify store is crucial, but what follows equally matters just as much. Email is one of the most effective ways to re-engage customers, especially when it’s thoughtful and well-designed. As a specialist Klaviyo email marketing agency, we create tailored flows based on how people interact with your site, from welcome emails to post-purchase check-ins. We’re not flooding inboxes, just keeping the conversation going in a way that feels helpful, relevant, and worth returning for.
Frequently asked questions
What does your Shopify design service include?
Do you use custom themes or customise existing ones?
We offer flexibility depending on your requirements and budget. For businesses seeking a quicker, cost-effective launch, we can expertly customise high-quality premium Shopify themes to align with your branding and functional needs. For those wanting a unique online presence and greater scalability, we develop fully custom themes from scratch. Custom themes allow for complete control over design, functionality, and performance, helping your store stand out in a competitive market. We always recommend the best approach based on your brand goals, timeline, and growth plans.
How long does a typical Shopify design project take?
The timeline varies based on project complexity, design requirements, and functionality needs. Generally, a standard Shopify design and development project takes between 4 to 5 weeks from initial consultation through discovery, design drafts, development, testing, and launch. More complex stores with custom features, app integrations, or advanced UX elements may require additional time. Throughout the process, we keep you updated and involved, ensuring the final product meets expectations and is launched on time.
Can you redesign my existing Shopify store?
Absolutely! We frequently work with brands that want to refresh their current Shopify stores to improve aesthetics, usability, or performance. Whether your store feels outdated, lacks mobile optimisation, or isn’t converting visitors well, we’ll assess your existing setup and propose a strategic redesign. Our process includes UX analysis, competitor research, and applying best practices in ecommerce design to enhance customer experience. We aim to preserve your brand’s strengths while upgrading visuals, navigation, and backend systems to maximise sales and customer retention.
Do you offer branding as part of the design service?
We can work with your existing brand assets or help you build a complete brand identity from the ground up. This includes logo design, brand colour palettes, typography, and crafting a consistent visual language that carries through your online store and wider marketing channels. Where needed, we collaborate with trusted industry partners, from specialist branding studios to copywriters and packaging designers, to deliver a fully rounded brand experience. Our team works closely with you throughout to ensure the final result aligns with your brand values and speaks to your ideal customer.
Will my Shopify store be mobile-optimised?
Definitely. Mobile commerce is growing rapidly, with more consumers shopping on smartphones and tablets than ever before. We ensure that every Shopify store we design is fully responsive, adapting flawlessly to any screen size or device. Mobile optimisation includes fast loading times, easy navigation, readable fonts, and optimised images to provide a seamless shopping experience. A mobile-friendly store not only enhances user experience but also improves search engine rankings and conversion rates. Our goal is to make shopping easy and enjoyable, no matter how your customers access your site.
Can you help improve conversion rates through design?
Yes, increasing conversion rates is one of our key focuses in Shopify design. We use data-driven design strategies and proven ecommerce best practices to optimise your store for sales. This includes clear calls to action, trust signals like customer reviews and security badges, streamlined navigation, and persuasive product pages with high-quality images and detailed descriptions. We also pay attention to the checkout process, minimising friction and cart abandonment. Our goal is to create an intuitive and enjoyable shopping journey that encourages visitors to become paying customers and return again.
What if I want to update or edit the site myself after launch?
We build Shopify stores with user-friendliness in mind, ensuring you can manage your content, products, and promotions without needing technical expertise. The Shopify admin panel is intuitive, and we provide training sessions and documentation tailored to your needs. Whether you want to add new products, update banners, or run sales campaigns, you’ll be able to make these changes independently. If you prefer, we also offer ongoing support packages for updates and troubleshooting, so you can choose the level of involvement that suits you best.
Do you integrate apps or third-party tools as part of the design?
Yes, app integrations are a crucial part of extending your store’s functionality. We help you choose and implement the best Shopify apps tailored to your business needs, whether for customer reviews, email marketing, loyalty programs, upselling, inventory management, or analytics. We ensure these apps are seamlessly integrated into your store design, maintaining fast load times and a consistent user experience. Our goal is to provide you with a store that not only looks great but also has the tools necessary to grow your business efficiently.
Do you offer ongoing support after the design is complete?
Absolutely. Launching your Shopify store is just the beginning. We offer flexible ongoing support and maintenance packages to help with design updates, new feature additions, performance optimisation, and troubleshooting. As your business grows and ecommerce trends evolve, we’re here to keep your store running smoothly and competitive. Whether you need seasonal refreshes, marketing support, or technical assistance, our team acts as your trusted partner for long-term success, ensuring your Shopify store continues to meet your business goals.
