Development & Engineering

Shopify theme development

A Shopify theme your merchandising team can compose without a developer ticket every Friday.

We develop custom Shopify themes as section systems. Campaigns, landing layouts, and product modules are named, documented, and tested with real catalog data.

01 — What we build

What this engagement covers

  1. 01

    OS 2.0 themes

    JSON templates, sections, and blocks from a design system.

  2. 02

    Theme rebuilds

    Replace an unmaintainable paid theme while keeping URL and app constraints in view.

  3. 03

    Section libraries

    A governed set of sections instead of an infinite app of page builders.

02 — What's included

In a typical statement of work

  • Theme architecture
  • Section and template build
  • Metafield definitions
  • PDP performance pass
  • Theme editor training notes

03 — Process

How the work actually runs

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Business goals, current stack, content ownership, and the constraints that actually decide the build.

  2. 02

    Information architecture

    Templates, navigation, and CMS or merchandising model before visual polish is treated as finished.

  3. 03

    Build

    Theme or platform implementation with integrations, editor training, and performance budgets on the critical templates.

  4. 04

    Launch and handover

    Staging sign-off, production cutover, documentation, and a defined support window after go-live.

05 — Why Weblexia

How we partner on this work

  • 01

    Senior delivery, not a handoff chain

    A lead who can read the design file, the CMS, and the production constraints owns the work. You are not queued behind a sales layer and a junior build team.

  • 02

    Fidelity with maintainability

    Pixel accuracy matters. So does what happens after launch — editors, merchandisers, and future campaigns should be able to work without breaking the system.

  • 03

    Performance treated as a requirement

    Core Web Vitals, caching, and asset discipline are part of acceptance — not a follow-up project after the site looks finished.

  • 04

    Clear scope before engineering spend

    We write assumptions, exclusions, and a definition of done. If we are not the right studio, we say so before you commit.

Partnership signal

What happens when you reach out

  • Custom sections
  • Checkout UI extensions
  • Theme OS 2.0

09 — FAQs

Questions we are asked before a proposal

Can you customise our existing Shopify theme?

Often, if the theme is OS 2.0 and not a nest of apps. We audit first. Some themes cannot carry a new design without a rebuild; we will say so.

Next step

Discuss your Shopify theme with the team that ships it.

Share the Figma file, the current site, or the outcome you need. A senior lead replies with a realistic path — discovery, a scoped build, or a clear decline if we are not the right fit.
