What Is Shopify Development?

Shopify development is the work of designing, building and extending a Shopify store beyond what a stock theme does out of the box. It covers custom themes written in Liquid, Online Store 2.0 sections, app integrations, custom apps built on Shopify’s APIs, checkout and B2B features on Shopify Plus, data migration and performance tuning.
A Shopify development company brings all of these skills into one team. Instead of hiring a designer, a Liquid developer, an app developer and an SEO specialist separately, you work with one partner that owns the whole store and is accountable for how it performs after launch.

Custom Shopify Development vs Theme Customization

Not every store needs a fully custom build. Here is how we help you choose the right level of Shopify store development for your budget and goals.

Best for new and growing stores

We start from a premium Shopify theme such as Dawn, Prestige or Impulse and tailor it to your brand with custom sections, colors, fonts and layouts.

How to Choose the Right Shopify Development Company

Whoever you hire, check these six things before you sign.

Live store examples

Open their client stores on your phone. Check speed, design and checkout.

Look for reviews on Clutch, Upwork or Google, not only on their own site.
04

A written scope

A clear proposal with milestones, deliverables and a fixed or capped price.

Shopify Development Case Studies

Preeti Sandhu luxury jewellery Shopify store

How ControlF5 Built a Luxury Shopify Jewelry Store for Preeti Sandhu

A jewelry brand’s website has to feel as special as the jewelry itself, because if it looks ordinary, people instinctively assume the product is ordinary too. That was the exact challenge we faced when ControlF5 set out to build the Shopify store for Preeti Sandhu Jewelry.
