Shopify and Headless Commerce Development Agency

Shopify development services for brands that have outgrown a theme: custom storefronts, headless Shopify with Hydrogen or Next.js, conversion-focused product pages and integrations. Senior engineers, AI-accelerated delivery, and a store that loads fast everywhere.

What We Serve

Shopify Stores Designed to Convert and Built to Scale

Shopify handles checkout, payments and inventory better than anything you could build yourself. What it does not do is design your storefront, structure your product content or make your pages fast. Our Shopify development agency does that part: custom theme development when a theme is the right fit, and headless commerce with Shopify Hydrogen or Next.js when you need total control over speed and experience. We design product, collection and landing pages around how shoppers actually decide, connect your CMS, reviews, search and marketing tools, and keep Core Web Vitals green. AI tools accelerate theme scaffolding, content migration and testing; senior engineers review every change before it reaches your store.

Our Approach

Theme or Headless, Decided by Your Catalog and Your Team

We start with three questions: how complex is your catalog, how much custom experience do you need, and who maintains the store after launch. A well-built Shopify theme (Online Store 2.0, Liquid, sections) is the right answer for most brands and keeps the merchant team independent. Headless Shopify with Hydrogen or Next.js is the right answer when you need storytelling pages, a content-heavy site and a store on one domain, or performance a theme cannot reach. Either way, product pages are designed from shopper research, speed is a release gate, and every change is reviewed by a senior engineer and tested before it goes live.

What Is Headless Shopify?

Headless Shopify keeps Shopify as the commerce engine (products, cart, checkout, payments) while a custom front-end built with Hydrogen, Next.js or Astro delivers the storefront. It gives brands full control over design, content and performance without rebuilding checkout.

Shopify for commerce

Checkout, payments, inventory and fulfillment stay on the platform you trust.

Custom front-end

Hydrogen, Next.js or Astro for the storefront, with a design system and a CMS.

Content and commerce together

Speed and SEO

At Devoq Design, Shopify development means storefronts that convert and scale, delivered about 5x faster with AI scaffolding and senior review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we build a Shopify theme or go headless?

A custom Online Store 2.0 theme is right for most brands: fast enough, editable by your team, and lower cost. Headless Shopify with Hydrogen or Next.js is right when you need editorial content and commerce on one site, complex personalization, or performance a theme cannot reach. We recommend one after reviewing your catalog and team.

How much does Shopify development cost?

It depends on whether you need a theme or a headless build, the number of page templates, integrations, migration from another platform and B2B or multi-market requirements. We scope a fixed price after a short call.

Can you migrate our WooCommerce or Magento store to Shopify?

Yes. Products, variants, customers, orders and content are migrated with scripts, every URL is mapped and redirected, and metadata is carried over so rankings survive the move.

Will our team be able to edit the store without developers?

Yes. Themes are built with editable sections, and headless storefronts are paired with a CMS designed for your editors. Changing content, campaigns and merchandising does not need a ticket.

Do you handle Shopify Plus and B2B stores?

Yes. Multi-store setups, wholesale catalogs, customer-specific pricing and checkout customizations are part of our Shopify Plus work.

How is this about 5x faster than a traditional agency?

Four things add up: several AI-drafted options at once instead of one at a time, generated boilerplate and tests instead of hand-written setup, reusable component libraries instead of page-by-page builds, and automated checks on every change instead of a manual pass at the end. Review time stays the same; waiting time disappears.

Is AI-assisted work good enough, and is it safe?

AI never ships anything on its own. A senior lead reviews every design and every code change, automated tests and accessibility checks run on each one, and the code is plain TypeScript in your own repository. We do not send your customer data to AI tools without a written agreement.

Who owns the code, the design files and the accounts?

You do, from the first week. Figma, GitHub, CMS and hosting accounts are created under your company, and the contract assigns the IP to you. There is nothing to hand back at the end because it was always yours.

How do you charge: fixed price, monthly retainer or dedicated team?

All three, depending on the shape of the work. A fixed price when the scope is clear, a monthly retainer when the work keeps evolving, and a dedicated designer or engineer pair when you want capacity inside your own team. We recommend one after a short discovery call.

Do you work with companies in the US, UK, Canada or Australia?

Yes, most of our clients are there. Devoq Design has teams in India, Canada and the US, so every project has overlapping hours for reviews and stand-ups. Everything else runs async with recorded walkthroughs, decision logs and written updates in your Slack or Teams.

How do we get started?

Book a 30-minute call or send a short brief. We come back within a few working days with a scope, a plan and a price. Work starts after an NDA and IP assignment are signed and your accounts are set up.
