How we approach Shopify development
Theme, app or headless
Most stores do best with a well-built Online Store 2.0 theme, which is cheaper to run and easy for your team to manage. Headless with Hydrogen makes sense when you need a highly custom experience, content from several sources or very fast pages at scale.
Fewer apps, faster store
Every installed app can add scripts that slow your store down. We review your app list, replace what we can with lightweight theme code or a single custom app, and keep only what earns its place.
Migrations without losing rankings
We map every old URL to its new one, keep product data and customer accounts intact and set up 301 redirects before launch. That protects the search traffic you have already built.
Built for Shopify Plus
For Shopify Plus merchants we build checkout extensions, Shopify Functions for discounts and shipping rules, B2B features and multi-store setups. The code follows Shopify's current APIs, so it keeps working through platform updates.
Built for New Zealand teams
Time-zone overlap
Indian mornings overlap with New Zealand afternoons, so you get a daily stand-up in your working day, and work moves forward overnight.
The New Zealand Privacy Act 2020
We design to the Information Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 2020, host data in Australian or New Zealand cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.
