Designers Who Specialize in BigCommerce — Not Generalists Who Touch It
1Digital® Agency is a BigCommerce Elite Partner and BigDev Certified team, founded in 2012. Our designers spend every working day inside BigCommerce — Stencil + Cornerstone, Catalyst headless on Next.js + Makeswift, Page Builder, Widget Builder, Multi-Storefront, and B2B Edition. That platform fluency means design decisions account for merchandising workflow, theme architecture, and platform constraints from the first Figma frame — not in a frustrated post-launch retro.
Our designers work across whatever theme architecture your project needs — Stencil, Catalyst, or Page Builder. For the architecture decision itself (which path fits your catalog, brand, and roadmap), see the theme-architecture playbook. This page is about the team and process that delivers the design layer on top.

Named Roles, Not a Faceless Pool
Every BigCommerce design engagement at 1Digital® is staffed with named specialists. You know who owns the visuals, who owns the system, who owns conversion, and who owns brand — and they stay on your project from kickoff through QA.
Senior BigCommerce Designer
Owns the storefront experience end-to-end — wireframes, Figma comps, PDP/PLP layouts, brand system application, and merchandising-aware Page Builder zones. Pairs directly with your stakeholders.
Design System Architect
Builds the token system (color, type, spacing, elevation), component library, and pattern kit in Figma — then maps it cleanly to Stencil partials, Catalyst React components, and Widget Builder primitives.
Conversion-Focused UX Designer
Translates GA4, BODL, heatmap, and session-recording data into layout, copy, and CTA decisions. Runs the A/B test cadence and protects KPIs through every visual change.
Lead Visual Designer
Owns brand integrity across the storefront — typography hierarchy, photography direction, iconography, motion, and seasonal campaign systems. Keeps the storefront on-brand at scale.
Our BigCommerce Design Process
Discovery → UX Research → Figma → CRO → Handoff
A repeatable five-step process honed across 400+ BigCommerce engagements. Every step has a written deliverable, a named owner, and a stakeholder checkpoint — no surprises at launch.
1. Discovery & brand audit
We start with your brand book, current storefront analytics, competitor landscape, and merch team workflow. Output: a written brief covering KPIs, audience, catalog shape, and the design problems worth solving.
2. UX research & IA
User interviews, session-recording review, GA4 funnel analysis, and faceted-nav diagnostics drive the information architecture — sitemap, PDP/PLP density, mega-menu structure, and B2B Edition buyer flows.
3. Figma design system
Tokens, components, and screen comps land in a versioned Figma library. Every screen ships with annotated states, responsive breakpoints, and a documented merchandising-zone map so Page Builder isn't an afterthought.
4. CRO-led iteration
Before handoff, we pressure-test hero, PDP, PLP, and cart layouts with heuristic review and — where the data exists — A/B testing. Conversion-rate hypotheses are logged with the screens, not bolted on later.
5. Developer handoff & QA
Designers sit with the build team through Stencil or Catalyst implementation — token parity, accessibility passes (WCAG 2.2 AA), Core Web Vitals review, and a launch checklist before any traffic moves.

Hiring a BigCommerce Designer — FAQ
What does a BigCommerce designer do at 1Digital®?
A BigCommerce designer at 1Digital® owns the storefront experience — brand application, UX flows, Figma design systems, PDP / PLP layouts, Page Builder zone planning, and CRO-led iteration. They sit between your brand stakeholders and our BigCommerce engineering team, translating business goals into screens that merchandisers can run and developers can ship cleanly on Stencil or Catalyst.
How is a BigCommerce designer different from a developer or templates engineer?
A BigCommerce developer ships Stencil / Catalyst code, custom apps, and integrations. A templates engineer focuses on the theme architecture choice (Stencil vs Cornerstone vs Catalyst — see our BigCommerce Templates playbook). A designer owns the visual and UX layer that lives on top — brand system, layout, interaction, conversion patterns, and accessibility — and works inside whichever theme architecture your project needs.
Can I hire one BigCommerce designer for a fixed scope, or do I need a full agency engagement?
Both work. We staff fixed-scope engagements (a PDP redesign, a Page Builder landing-page kit, a seasonal refresh) with one or two named designers, and we staff full programs (replatform, Multi-Storefront brand rollout, Catalyst rebuild) with a multi-role pod — senior designer, UX, design system architect, and CRO lead. Same team, scoped to the brief.
Are 1Digital® BigCommerce designers US-based?
Yes. Our 50+ specialist team is US-based — aligned timezones, native English collaboration, and on-time delivery across Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern stakeholders. We don't subcontract design work offshore.
What design tooling do your BigCommerce designers use?
Figma is the core — design tokens, versioned component libraries, auto-layout, and dev-mode handoff. We layer in Maze and UserTesting for usability research, Hotjar / FullStory for session-recording review, GA4 + BODL for behavior analytics, and Optimizely / VWO for A/B testing. For Catalyst projects, our designers work directly inside Makeswift visual editing alongside developers.
How long does a typical BigCommerce designer engagement take?
Fixed-scope visual work (landing pages, PDP redesign, brand refresh on an existing theme) typically lands in 3–6 weeks. A full Figma design system plus Stencil theme design runs 8–14 weeks depending on catalog depth. Catalyst headless design programs run 12–20 weeks. Retainer engagements (sprint-based CRO iteration, seasonal refreshes) run continuously after the first launch.
