Our Process

How We Work

No black boxes. No mystery meat. Just clarity, process, and momentum.

“Theory focuses on what actually moves KPIs.”

Your No-Nonsense Shopify Partner

We keep things simple, smart, and fast. You’ve got a business to run and KPIs to hit. Whether we’re hopping into a quick project or scoping a full redesign, we keep you looped in every step of the way.

  1. Listen & Learn

    Start with a call. End with a game plan. We kick things off by digging into your brand, your goals, and what’s been holding your site back. Every engagement starts with smart questions and sharp ears - not assumptions.

    What We'll Cover

    • What’s working (and what’s not)
    • Tech stack + internal workflows
    • Business & conversion goals
    • Timeline + team structure
  2. Recommend & Roadmap

    We turn insight into action. Based on what we’ve learned, we’ll put together a customized plan - whether it’s a dev-only sprint, a design overhaul, or a combo of both. No fluff, no agency-speak. Just the work that actually moves the needle.

    What We'll cover

    • UX/UI store sudit (via Baymard)
    • Component recommendations
    • Dev or design retainer setup
    • Larger redesign or custom theme
  3. Build & Launch

    Now we get to work. Your project lives in Figma, Notion, and Basecamp. We build in weekly sprints, stay async-friendly, and keep the back-and-forth tight so nothing slips. You’ll always know what’s in motion - and what’s coming next.

    What To Expect

    • Brand-tailored UX and design
    • Clean, Shopify-native code
    • Strategy built into each deliverable
    • QA with real eyes and real devices
  4. Iterate & Scale

    We don’t vanish after launch. If we’re on retainer, we keep things moving 
- new features, speed work, component refreshes, all the background dev magic. We act like an embedded team, tackling punch lists, tracking wins, and setting up what’s next.

    What To Expect

    • Design/dev hours as needed
    • Direct access to the Theory team
    • Priority scheduling
    • Monthly check-ins (if desired)
