Conversion-Led UX & Wireframes
Wireframes for home, collection, product, cart and checkout drawn from your own session recordings, site-search logs and support tickets. Not a template library.
Custom Shopify storefronts for Valley producers whose catalogue is decided by a harvest date rather than a purchase order.
Delivered remotely for brands across Sacramento and California.
Most themes assume a product that exists in unlimited quantity and never changes. A Sacramento producer's catalogue does neither. The olive oil is a crush date, the wine is a vintage and a lot, the stone fruit is a three-week window, and the honey tastes different depending on what was blooming. A storefront built on the assumption of permanence forces your team to fake it with duplicate products and manual sold-out toggles, and the customer ends up on a page that says nothing about why this year's bottle is worth buying.
So the build starts from the product model rather than the homepage. Vintage or crush year as a real variant dimension, lot-level metafields for the things a buyer actually asks about, ship windows stated on the product page instead of buried in a policy link, and preorder and allocation logic that caps against a yield you have not harvested yet. Once that structure exists, the design work gets easier, because the pages have something specific to say.
The last piece is the club. For most producers here the subscription or allocation programme is the business, not an upsell, and the page that sells it usually gets treated as an afterthought — a paragraph and a button. We build it as a proper template: tier comparison, what actually arrives and when, the shipping months, the skip and pause rules, and the cancellation path California law requires you to make obvious. A club page that answers the objections before they form outperforms a prettier one that does not.
There is a genuine quiet window in this region and it is roughly December through February, after the last release has shipped and before bloom. That is when a rebuild should happen, because it is the only stretch where your team can review a staging store without being pulled onto a bottling line or a packing shed. From there the calendar is fixed and it is not ours: spring garden demand, summer heat that changes what you can ship at all, the September and October release and harvest rush, then the gift season that carries the year. We scope to land the store well before the first release you plan to sell through it, and we do not cut over DNS in the week you send an allocation email. If the schedule slips past the window, we ship the storefront and hold the migration of anything customer-facing until the next quiet stretch rather than launching into your busiest month.
The same standard of work we run for every client — applied to a Sacramento brand’s realities.
Full service detailWireframes for home, collection, product, cart and checkout drawn from your own session recordings, site-search logs and support tickets. Not a template library.
A bespoke theme in clean, commented Liquid with modular sections your team can rearrange themselves. Zero dependency on page-builder apps.
Collection architecture, filtering, badging and cross-sell rules mapped to how your catalogue actually sells. Bestsellers surface; dead stock stops eating grid space.
Image pipeline, third-party script audit and app cleanup enforced against a hard budget: LCP under 2.5s on 4G mobile, CLS under 0.1, INP under 200ms.
Products, variants, metafields, collection copy and redirects loaded and QA'd in a dev store before cutover. You review a real store, not a Figma file.
Loom walkthroughs, a written theme guide and 30 days of post-launch fixes included. Your team owns the store from day one.
We do not work off a rate card. Every Sacramento engagement starts with a fixed statement of work — named deliverables, named dates, one number — written after we have looked at your store, not before. If a smaller first step would serve you better, we will say so.

~$6M/yr DTC, 900+ SKUs across size and colour variants, US · Shopify Plus
Returns ran at 31% and refund cost consumed the entire paid media margin. One size chart image served 40 different fits, and 62% of add-to-carts started on a collection page that never showed variant availability. The named constraint: no new product photography budget, so every fix had to come out of the existing asset library and the review corpus.
~$11M/yr, 2,300 SKUs, configurable upholstery, US · Shopify Plus + Hydrogen storefront (Oxygen)
Fabric, leg and size options turned 2,300 SKUs into more than 40,000 variant permutations, and the Liquid theme rendered a configurable PDP in 6.9 seconds on mobile. Collection filtering ran client-side, so 40% of shoppers left before the first product painted. The named constraint: the ERP stayed. It was the single source of truth for stock and lead times and was not up for replacement.
“Full rebuild in 11 weeks, launched two days before Black Friday, which was an aggressive ask and probably a stupid one on my part. They pushed back hard on three homepage ideas I was attached to and were right about all three. AOV went from $58 to $79, mostly off the bundle builder they put on the product page.”
