Hi,
We’re looking for a high-level Shopify designer & developer to build a fully custom, design-driven website for a premium brand.
This is not a template-based Shopify store and should not resemble a typical dropshipping website in any way. The goal is to create a bespoke, visually refined e-commerce experience that feels established, intentional, and brand-first — comparable to what you’d expect from a modern luxury brand.
We are not interested in off-the-shelf themes, reused frameworks, or recognizable Shopify layouts. The end result should be a one-of-a-kind statement website with strong visual presence, thoughtful UX/UI, and carefully considered details throughout.
Scope of Work
Design & Visual Direction
• Fully custom design created from scratch (no templates or reused systems)
• Experience designing high-end or premium e-commerce websites
• Strong understanding of typography, spacing, layout hierarchy, and visual balance
• Ability to translate brand positioning into a cohesive and elegant digital identity
Custom Shopify Development
• Advanced Shopify development using Liquid, JavaScript, and CSS
• Custom sections, bespoke components, animations, and interactions
• Clean, scalable, and performance-focused code without compromising design
Performance & Growth
• Fast-loading pages and optimized site structure
• Conversion-focused UX implemented subtly and intelligently
• Familiarity with tools like heatmaps, testing, and trust-building UX
• Architecture built to scale as the brand grows
Tracking & Integrations
• Setup of GA4, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Conversion API
• Server-side tracking experience is a plus
• Integration of selected apps for reviews, upsells, and marketing flows
• Klaviyo setup and configuration (email copy can be discussed separately)
Ideal Candidate
• Strong portfolio of design-led, premium Shopify projects
• Excellent aesthetic judgment and attention to detail
• Comfortable handling both design execution and technical development
• Used to working with clients who value quality, originality, and long-term thinking
• Clear communicator who works independently and reliably
Application Requirements
Please include:
• Links to Shopify websites you personally built that reflect premium or luxury execution
(Template-based or generic stores will not be reviewed)
• A short explanation of your approach to bespoke, brand-driven Shopify builds
• Your workflow (planning → design → development → launch)
• Estimated timeline and project cost
• Ongoing rate for post-launch support and updates
About the Project
• This is a long-term brand initiative, not a short-term experiment
• We value craftsmanship, originality, and thoughtful execution over speed
• The right candidate will become a long-term creative and technical partner
• Budget is flexible for the right level of quality and experience
Please apply only if you specialize in original, expert-level Shopify work — no recycled layouts, no theme reuse, and no shortcuts.
We look forward to reviewing your application.
