E-commerce design & development Taking new projects

We build stores people want to buy from.

We design and develop online stores that look sharp, feel easy to shop, and are built around the moments that turn visitors into customers. Mostly on Shopify, and custom-built when a project needs more.

Stores we’ve designed, built and improved

Our approach

We don’t design for screenshots.

A good-looking store means very little if customers struggle to use it, and an easy store that looks cheap won’t earn their trust. So every page we make is three layers, designed together.

What we do

E-commerce first, and Shopify most of the time, plus custom websites and web apps when a project needs them. If you need something that isn’t here, ask. We’ll tell you honestly if it’s not us.

Their words, not ours. Every quote is from the owner of a store we built.

Small team · direct communication

Just the two of us.

The people you talk to are the people designing and building your store. No account managers, no handoffs, no brief lost in a queue. Mira scopes the work and keeps you updated; Rinand designs it and builds it.

Rinand

3 YRS
Design & development

Designs the layout and the path through it, then builds it. Cares a lot about type, spacing, and how a store behaves on a cheap phone.

Backend & client work

Handles data, integrations and everything behind the storefront, and she’s the one keeping you in the loop. Scopes the work and keeps the timeline honest.

How a project runs

STEP 01

Understand

We learn about your business, your customers and what isn’t working. You get a written scope, a price and a date. No proposal theatre.

STEP 02

Design

We map how people will move through the store, then design the pages that matter most. We agree on those before building starts.

STEP 03

Build

We develop the store, connect your apps and data, and make every page work on every screen. You get a preview link from day one.

STEP 04

Test

We check it on real phones, test speed, and walk through the whole purchase path. Then we work through your change requests.

STEP 05

Launch & improve

We publish, watch closely after launch, and hand over a short walkthrough. Ongoing improvements are there if you want them.

Beyond the storefront

When your store needs more than a theme.

Most stores only need Shopify. When yours needs something extra, we build it and connect it to the tools you already use.

Designing and developing e-commerce stores, mostly on Shopify. That covers UI and UX design, conversion improvements, performance, and custom development when a store needs it.

Most of our work is Shopify, but not all of it. We also build custom websites, integrations and web apps with React and Node.js when a project needs more than a platform can give.

Yes, and it doesn’t always mean starting over. We often keep what works and rebuild the pages that are costing you sales.

Both, and we treat them as one job. How your store looks and how easy it is to shop are designed together, not handed between different people.

Usually, yes. Send us the store URL and we’ll tell you what we’d look at first, whether that’s product pages, navigation, the cart or speed.

Yes. We’re based in the Philippines and work with brands in Australia, New Zealand and the United States as well as at home. Everything runs online.

Yes: custom sections and blocks, product data with metafields and metaobjects, builders and configurators, and integrations through Shopify’s APIs.

Yes. If a Shopify app already does what you need, we install and set it up for you. If not, we build it: on a monthly retainer using our own Claude and ChatGPT accounts, or as a one-time project on your own AI accounts that we hand over when it’s done.

Yes. A monthly retainer covers new sections, seasonal changes, testing, bug fixes and theme updates, so small improvements keep shipping after launch.

A full store build usually takes two to three months, depending on the store. Smaller improvements take less. You get a date in writing before we start.

Just us. Mira handles scope and communication, and Rinand designs and builds. Nothing gets passed to someone you haven’t met.

You do, entirely. It lives in your Shopify admin and your Git repo, commented well enough that any developer can pick it up after us.

Yes. We white-label happily and can work from your design files as they are. You get one point of contact for the whole project.
