Shopify development, step by step
Shopify code that is tested before it goes live
Every Shopify change is written, built and checked before it reaches your store. Speed and accessibility checks run on each release, and nothing ships until they pass, so the live store stays fast and stable while it grows.
- ›Shopify themes, apps and integrations built by specialists
- ›Speed and accessibility checked on every release
- ›Launched to your live store only once the checks pass

Shopify Developer - FAQ
What is 1Digital® as a Shopify development agency?
1Digital® Agency is a Shopify Partner founded in 2012, with 50+ specialists - Liquid developers, Shopify app developers, designers, SEO, PPC, and lifecycle marketers. Serving 400+ brands with a 4.9/5 rating across 100+ verified reviews. We work on every Shopify tier - Basic, Shopify, Advanced, and Plus - covering Online Store 2.0 themes (Dawn, Horizon, custom), Liquid refactors, JSON templates, metaobjects, custom apps, and ERP / CRM integrations. Engagements start at $185/hour.
Do you work with smaller stores, or only enterprise?
Both. Most of our day-to-day work is small to mid-market Shopify stores ($10k–$1M GMV) - Liquid bug fixes, custom sections, a new PDP, a Klaviyo flow, a Recharge install, a theme refactor that finally lets a non-developer edit the homepage. We also serve Plus-tier enterprise merchants - that work has its own page at Shopify Plus developer.
Why choose 1Digital® Agency for Shopify development?
15 years of Shopify-only focus, a senior-led in-house team, and one shop for development, design, SEO, PPC, and lifecycle. We write maintainable Liquid that the next developer (or your in-house team) won't have to throw away. We scope honestly - if a four-hour fix gets you the result, we say so.
What makes 1Digital® stand out as a Shopify development agency?
15 years of Shopify specialization, work across the full Shopify ecosystem (Online Store 2.0, Liquid, JSON templates, metaobjects, custom apps, GraphQL Admin API, Storefront API), and a client-focused process that supports stores at every scale - DTC launches on Basic, growing brands on Shopify and Advanced, and Plus merchants when they get there.
How do our Shopify development services enhance your site's functionality?
We use Shopify-native architecture: Online Store 2.0 sections and app blocks, metaobjects and metafields for structured content, JSON templates for editor flexibility, the GraphQL Admin API for integrations, and the Storefront API where you need it. The goal is speed, usability, and a codebase that's easy to extend - not a pile of apps and copy-pasted theme hacks.
What unique benefits do our Shopify SEO services offer?
Our Shopify SEO work optimizes site structure, content, internal linking, and schema graphs (Product, Review, AggregateRating, Organization, FAQPage) - plus llms.txt and entity clarity - strengthening visibility across Google, ChatGPT Shopping, Perplexity Shop, and Google AI Overviews.
