A store that looks like you
Designed from your own direction, not a stock theme: one of three concepts, or a blend of two.
Shopify Website Design for Small Shops.
Shopify stores for makers, artists and small brands: your catalog organized the way your customers shop, a store that looks like yours rather than a template, and checkout ready on day one.
Our work
Sites We Have Built.
Each one started as three free concepts. Open the site, or read how we built it.
What it needs
What a Small Shop's Store Needs.
Drawn from the sites above. Every business is different, so yours gets what it will actually use.
A catalog that scales
From over a hundred one-of-a-kind pieces to nearly a thousand cards and pictures, sorted into collections.
More than one way to shop
By piece, by collection or by feeling, so a visitor finds what speaks to them.
The story behind the work
Room for a journal, readings or your own story beside the products.
Checkout and a list
Shopify's checkout, and an email and text list for new arrivals and events.
Your own domain
Live on your shop's address, set up for you.
How it works
See Three Concepts Before You Commit.
A short conversation
Fifteen minutes by phone or email about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do. No long questionnaire.
Three concepts, free
We design three homepage concepts for you, each with its own layout, positioning and colors. They cost you nothing, and there is no obligation.
Pick one, or mix and match
Choose the direction that feels most like your business, or take the parts you like from each. We refine it with you until it is right.
We build it and launch it
Only then do we build the full site, typically with a first draft inside a week, and launch it on your own domain when you are happy.
Questions
Questions Shop Owners Ask.
Do I need to know what I want the site to look like?
No. That is what the three free concepts are for: you see three different directions and choose one, or mix the parts you like.
Do you build on Shopify?
Yes. Bijoux Affair and Nubiance Speaks are Shopify stores we designed and built, each with Shopify's own checkout.
Can the store handle a large catalog?
Yes. Nubiance Speaks carries 480 cards and 485 pictures, the cards and the pictures each a collection of their own.
Can customers shop by more than category?
Yes. Bijoux Affair has collections by feeling (Confidence, Tranquility and Connection) beside bracelets, earrings and necklaces.
Will my email address be on the site?
No. Messages come through a contact form and go straight to your inbox, so your address is never published for scrapers to find.

What Would Your Three Concepts Look Like?
You don’t have to know what your website should look like. We’ll design three different directions, free, before you decide whether to work with us.
