Shopify redesign / rebuild

A redesign or rebuild for stores that get traffic but don't convert it, without necessarily starting from zero on what's already working.

In depth

What shopify redesign / rebuild really involves

Stores get redesigned for the same reasons websites do: they look dated, they're slow, or the numbers are flat. Before agreeing to start fresh, it's worth working out which of those is true, because a slow store with a confusing checkout won't be fixed by a new homepage.

A redesign needs care around what you already have. Existing product URLs may be ranking and bringing buyers. Reviews, customer accounts and order history can't be lost. We start by looking at which pages, collections and products bring traffic and sales, then design the new store to keep and improve those parts.

Sometimes the best answer is an update of the current theme, not a rebuild. We'll tell you if that's the case. When a rebuild is right, we set up the new store on a development theme, test it fully, and switch over when everything's ready, so shoppers never see a half-finished store.

How it goes

How we approach shopify redesign / rebuild

01

Review performance and data

Traffic, conversion, speed and search visibility tell us what's working and what's costing sales.

02

Plan structure and redirects

A new structure with a full map of old to new URLs, so existing rankings survive.

03

Design and build on a draft theme

The new store is built and reviewed privately, with your real products and content.

04

Switch and monitor

We launch, check redirects, tracking and checkout, and watch results closely for the first weeks.

Ideal for

Who this fits

01

Stores with traffic but weak conversion

02

Stores that have outgrown their original design

Watch out for

Common mistakes, and how we avoid them

Breaking product URLs

Changed links without redirects lose search traffic. We map every one.

Redesigning without fixing speed

A prettier slow store still loses sales. Performance is part of the brief.

Losing tracking in the switch

New themes often drop pixels and analytics code. We re-test everything.

Shopify redesign / rebuild: common questions

No, since the new store is built on a separate draft theme while the current one keeps running. The switch is quick.
