Shoppers should be able to find the right collection, understand a product and continue through the buying path without fighting the storefront. Wilde Digital works on the theme, collection structure and templates that support those decisions. The scope starts with the catalog you actually sell, not a generic promise to increase conversion.

This service fits a DTC brand whose catalog, navigation or product presentation needs more than a visual refresh. It also fits an agreed new storefront build with ready product data. The first review separates theme limitations from catalog-data problems so you do not buy development work to compensate for missing product information.
DTC brand owners and ecommerce leads who need a coherent catalog-to-product path.
Not a product-photography, advertising, fulfillment or full-time merchandising service. An agency buying implementation under its own brand can also review white-label web development. A separate crawl or index problem belongs in the technical SEO scope, not an unsupported promise that a new theme fixes every search issue.
A storefront has to connect collection rules, product data, templates and purchasing states. Changing one layer can expose a problem in another: a new collection may be empty, a variant may be unavailable, or a card may hide the information needed to choose. The work follows that connected buying path rather than isolated screenshots.
A stock-management label is not necessarily a useful shopping category. Start with the ways buyers identify the product: category, franchise, material, use or release. Define the corresponding collection rules and data requirements explicitly. A rule is only dependable when the incoming product records contain the values it relies on.
Real catalogs have long titles, several variants, missing optional fields and sold-out items. Check those cases on cards and product pages before accepting a template. A tidy demonstration product can hide clipped information or an action that implies stock is available when the selected option cannot be purchased.
A theme cannot independently decide payment-provider access, shipping policies, taxes or the store’s operational promises. Identify which changes belong in storefront code and which require the owner’s platform settings. That avoids presenting an attractive preview as proof that every live transaction configuration has been verified.
The agreed build includes theme work, collection structure, product and navigation templates, buying-path checks and handover. It names which templates, collections and integrations are included. Photography, bulk product copy and third-party app fees remain outside the project price, so the store owner can see what must be supplied separately before work starts.
The quote identifies any separately available work. Guaranteed outcomes, link buying and advertising management are not offered.
Review the catalog and theme, agree the scope, then implement against a development or unpublished theme with appropriate access. Check representative products and real states rather than only the homepage. The store owner reviews the result before publication, and any checkout or account-level action requiring separate authorization stays an explicit release step.
The published build range is $6,500–$12,000 USD for the agreed storefront scope. The quote depends on templates, catalog condition, migration and integrations, not simply the number of products. Shopify charges, themes, apps, photography and bulk product copy are separate. A new custom application is not silently included as ordinary theme work.
| Work | Published rate | What the rate covers | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shopify development | $6,500–$12,000 USD per scoped build Schedule agreed after catalog, theme and launch requirements are reviewed. | Agreed theme work, collection structure, product and navigation templates, buying-path verification and handover. | Template count, catalog condition, migration, theme constraints and integrations. Product photography, bulk product copy and third-party app fees are excluded. |
Timelines are indicative planning estimates for the scope described, not delivery commitments. Payment milestones, revision allowance, cancellation and handover terms are agreed in your written quote. Hosting, domains, licenses, stock imagery and advertising spend sit outside the project rate.
Kakebo Shop is a publicly attributed Shopify and Liquid implementation for a collectibles catalog: franchise and character collections, release-oriented product organization, merchandising components and search foundations. That supports a concrete discussion of structure and templates. Sales figures for it are not published, and it was not an agency engagement.
A collectibles Shopify storefront organized around franchises and drops so a large catalog stays shoppable.
Each example states what it is and what was verified. Client performance data stays with the client.
Kakebo Shop sells collectibles whose discovery can start with a franchise, a character or a release. The implementation record describes automated franchise and character collections rather than a structure dependent on manually sorting each arrival. That is a specific catalog decision: the classification of new products must support the collection rules.
The recorded work also includes product organization for drops and limited releases, featured and seasonal merchandising components, email capture, metadata and ecommerce structured data. Each is a distinct deliverable, shipped as described — separate from any campaign the store chose to run afterwards.
The collection screenshot shows a concrete browsing surface: products presented with their price and availability. The home, collection and product screenshots let a buyer inspect the implemented design. Current store configuration and per-device checkout testing are separate questions, answered per engagement.
The transferable method is to define the catalog model before styling the template, then check the template against the actual range of products. For a new engagement, that review starts again with your store. A collectibles example supports relevant capability without pretending every brand has the same catalog or that copying its layout is a strategy.
Handover explains which parts your team can edit, how collection rules are maintained and which dependencies require separate accounts or subscriptions. It also identifies the agreed launch checks. Ongoing merchandising, fulfillment and customer support remain store operations, not a hidden development retainer, and later theme or app changes need their own review.
Your team should know how a new product reaches the right collection and which settings control its presentation. If improving answer-ready product or category content is also a goal, AI search optimization is a separately scoped option. Neither a theme change nor schema markup guarantees that a search system will cite a page.
Not necessarily. An existing theme may already support the required structure, with targeted template and navigation changes. Replacement should follow a documented constraint, not a preference for a fresh start. The first review identifies whether the current theme, product data or an integration is responsible for the problem.
Only the catalog work explicitly included in the quote is delivered. Bulk product copy, photography and ongoing merchandising are excluded from the published build range. Your team supplies agreed inputs; any product migration or cleanup must name its volume, fields and verification method before it becomes part of the project.
Theme development can use a preview separate from the published theme. That does not make every store change isolated: catalog, app and account changes may affect live behavior. The work plan distinguishes those cases, and live changes require authorization rather than being treated as harmless preview edits.
The agreed buying path is checked, but the available checkout changes depend on the store’s plan, platform capabilities and installed integrations. The quote identifies what can actually be changed. It does not promise that arbitrary theme code can replace Shopify-controlled checkout behavior or alter payment-provider requirements.
The commitment is the agreed implementation and verification, not a sales uplift. Demand, pricing, stock, shipping and acquisition all affect orders. If commercial measurement is available, record a baseline and compare it honestly after launch, keeping those other changes separate from the fact that a storefront update shipped.
Include the theme, the collection or product journey that needs attention, and any launch constraint. Explain whether approved copy, photography and product data are ready. Store access follows an agreed scope; no account credentials belong in the inquiry, and no production theme change is assumed from an initial conversation.
