Shopify Theme Builds · South Africa
A proper Shopify store, built on a solid foundation.
What is a Shopify theme build?
Shopify's theme library contains hundreds of professionally designed, battle-tested templates. A theme build takes one of these as the starting point - then we configure, customise, and build on top of it to make it yours.
A theme build is the right choice when you have a clear brand identity and want a high-quality, fully functional store without the cost and timeline of a ground-up custom build. Most South African Shopify merchants don't need a custom build - they need a theme built properly.
What a theme build is not: a drag-and-drop exercise. Our theme builds are coded and configured to a professional standard - conversion-optimised page layouts, mobile-first implementation, and full integration with your business systems.

How a theme build works
Questions about theme builds
A theme build starts with a professionally designed Shopify theme and customises it for your brand. A custom build starts from your own wireframes and designs - we build the theme itself from scratch. Theme builds are faster and more cost-effective. Custom builds are for businesses with specific design requirements that existing themes can't meet.
We recommend. Based on your industry, catalogue size, and design preferences, we'll propose the right theme and explain why. You have final approval. We don't use the same theme for everyone.
All three tiers include post-launch support. For ongoing changes after that period, our Support retainers and Dev Blocs are available - see our Support & Dev Blocs page for details.
We can work with existing stores. If your current store was built on a theme, we can audit it and either improve it or rebuild it properly. We'll tell you honestly which approach makes more sense for your situation.
