Why should I prototype my Shopify store before development?+
Validating UX and UI up front means fewer costly changes once development starts. A clickable prototype lets stakeholders test the shopping journey, agree on the layout, and catch conversion issues on cheap wireframes instead of expensive code.
How much does Shopify store design and prototyping cost?+
It depends on the number of templates (home, collection, product, cart, checkout) and how much brand and UX work is involved. We scope the design phase separately so you can approve the blueprint before committing to the full build.
Can you design to our existing brand guidelines?+
Yes — we design to your brand guidelines for a consistent storefront, or help evolve them as part of the work if your brand needs a refresh for commerce.
What deliverables do we get from the design phase?+
UX journey maps, wireframes for the key pages, high-fidelity UI for every core template, and an interactive prototype you can click through and test before development.
Do you hand off the designs to your own developers?+
Usually yes — design flows straight into our Shopify development for a seamless build, but we can also hand off clean, developer-ready files to your own team.
