Shopify Theme Design & Development That Matches How You Sell
A theme should carry your brand and your merchandising rules. We customise Dawn or Horizon so size guides, lookbooks, and campaign sections feel native, not bolted on with a page builder.

Dawn or Horizon, your brand
The problem this service solves
Off-the-shelf themes make every brand look the same and fight your merchandising, size guides, and campaigns.
A brand-consistent, accessible theme your marketers can update without a developer on every banner change.
Who this is for
- Brands stuck looking like every other Dawn install in their category
- Teams fighting the theme whenever they need a size guide, editorial page, or campaign layout
- Merchants who want accessible, responsive templates without sacrificing polish
What we deliver
Scoped deliverables for shopify theme design & development, not a vague weekly retainer.
01
Brand-led theme system
Typography, colour, spacing, and components that match your brand guidelines across key templates.
02
Dawn or Horizon foundation
We build on Shopify's modern theme architecture so you stay upgradeable and Online Store 2.0 ready.
03
Merchandiser-friendly sections
Sections and blocks for campaigns, size guides, and content so marketing can ship without a deploy.
04
Accessibility and responsive QA
Keyboard, contrast, and mobile layouts checked on the templates that actually convert.
- Custom Dawn/Horizon themes
- Brand-consistent design
- Responsive layouts
- Accessibility-first
- A/B tested designs
How we work
We design themes for catalogs we also engineer. Fashion, footwear, and specialty retail get templates that respect fitment, size, and editorial, not a fashion demo with your logo.
Brand and template audit
We map which templates matter and where the current theme fights your catalog.
Design system and build
UI kit, then Liquid sections on staging with real products and content.
Handoff and training
Your team learns which settings and sections own day-to-day changes.
