What we build

Every layer of the Shopify ecosystem

Most agencies stop at the theme. We work across the storefront, the admin, the checkout and the infrastructure behind them.

  • Custom Themes

    Bespoke Online Store 2.0 themes built for speed and merchandising control.

    • Online Store 2.0 architecture — sections, blocks and app blocks
    • Metafield and metaobject content modelling
    • Performance budgets with Core Web Vitals monitoring

Our theme framework

Every build starts from the same base

Client themes start from a framework we maintain rather than a blank file or a marketplace download. React islands inside a real Online Store 2.0 theme, so merchants keep their sections, blocks and live preview while we get a component model and a build step.

  • Not a headless rebuild

    The theme editor keeps working. Drag-and-drop, live preview and real blocks all survive.

  • React, Tailwind and Vite

    Sections opt into React one at a time; Liquid hands settings and Shopify data straight to props.

  • A gateway, not a server

    Admin API and third-party calls run through a serverless gateway, with credentials off the theme.

The platforms we build on

We work closest with the tools our clients actually run — and we build and host our own apps on Gadget.

How we work

A build process without the agency theatre

Small team, direct access to the engineers writing your code, and a scope you approve before anything starts.

01

Technical discovery

We audit the store, the data model and the constraints, then write the spec. You get a fixed scope and timeline.

02

Architecture

We choose the right surface for the job — theme, app, extension, Function or headless — and document why.

03

Build & review

Two-week cycles on a preview store. You review real work in progress, not slide decks.

04

Launch & support

QA across devices, a rehearsed cutover, then a support retainer if you want us on call.

Reviews

Engineering our clients can point at

They rebuilt our storefront headless on Hydrogen and cut time-to-first-byte by more than half. The team actually understood our catalogue.

Nadia Whitfield

Head of Digital, Northbound

We needed a checkout UI extension and a shipping Function in six weeks. Mindhive scoped it, built it, and it passed review first time.

Marcus Ferreira

Ecommerce Director, Kitking

Our theme was a decade of patches. They migrated it to Online Store 2.0 without losing a single customisation.

Iris Kowalski

Operations Lead, Faith & Co

The private admin app they built replaced three spreadsheets and a nightly cron job. It just works.

Theo Barnes

Founder, Halden

Compare

Generalist agency vs
a Shopify specialist

Shopify is a deep platform with its own rules. Teams that treat it as a generic CMS end up fighting it.
