How do I scope a custom Shopify Plus build?

Start by mapping the merchandising, content, and integration realities of your business before talking about visual design.

How do I keep a custom theme maintainable?

Lean on Shopify-native primitives — sections, blocks, metafields, metaobjects, and app blocks — instead of hand-rolled custom code. Custom JavaScript should be the exception, not the default.

How do I hit Core Web Vitals on Shopify Plus?

Budget images and fonts, defer non-critical JS, lazy-load below the fold, prefer Shopify's CDN over external hosts, and measure real user metrics — not just lab scores.

How do I migrate content without breaking SEO?

Preserve URL structures wherever possible, build a complete 301 redirect map, validate it in staging, and submit a fresh sitemap on launch.

Do I need Shopify Plus to use Mejix?

Most of our engagements are on Shopify Plus, but we also work with growing brands on the standard plan that have a clear path to Plus within 12 months.

How long does a custom Shopify Plus build take?

Most builds run 10–16 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on catalog complexity, integrations, and content migration scope.

Can you work with our existing design team?

Yes. We routinely collaborate with in-house design teams and external creative agencies — we focus on engineering and Shopify Plus expertise.

Do you provide ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Most clients move into a continuous engineering retainer covering CRO, integrations, Plus feature adoption, and quarterly performance reviews.

Do you build headless storefronts?

Yes — see our headless commerce service. For most brands a well-engineered Liquid theme is faster and cheaper to operate; headless is the right call when you genuinely need it.

What it is

About this Shopify Plus service

Custom Shopify Plus development is the work of turning a brand into a fast, scalable, conversion-tuned commerce experience on Shopify's enterprise platform. It goes far beyond installing a theme — it covers information architecture, custom components, performance budgets, accessibility, and the integrations your business actually depends on.

Mejix builds bespoke Shopify Plus storefronts for high-growth brands across B2B, fashion, health & beauty, jewelry, and large-catalog retail. Every project starts with the merchandising, content, and operational reality of your business — not a template. The output is a storefront that loads fast, ranks well, and converts the traffic you already pay for.

Because we're a Plus Tier partner active since 2022, we know which Shopify Plus features (Checkout Extensibility, B2B, Markets, Functions, metafields, metaobjects) are worth leveraging and which are noise. The result is less custom code, less risk, and a storefront that's easier to evolve over the next three years.

What's included

Concrete deliverables

Every engagement ships a defined scope. No vague promises — these are the artifacts and outcomes you can expect.

Custom theme & components

Bespoke Liquid theme with reusable section components, metaobject-driven content, and a clean editor experience for marketers.

Performance engineering

Real-world Core Web Vitals targets, image and font budgets, third-party script audits, and Shopify CDN-first delivery.

Mobile-first responsive UX

Designed for the device most of your revenue comes from. Touch targets, sticky carts, and one-thumb navigation patterns.

Storefront engineering

Custom sections, blocks, app blocks, and Functions where they earn their keep. No bloat, no abandoned third-party apps.

Accessibility & quality

WCAG 2.1 AA targets, semantic HTML, keyboard support, and automated regression testing baked into the build.

Handover & enablement

Documentation, recorded walkthroughs, and a clean Shop OS your in-house team can own without us in the loop.

How it works

A predictable delivery process

The same sequence we run on every engagement, refined across enterprise Shopify Plus projects.

01

Discovery & scoping

We map your catalog, merchandising rules, integrations, and brand language. Output: a written scope with assumptions and risks.
02

Design & architecture

Wireframes, design system tokens, and theme architecture mapped to metafields and metaobjects so content owners stay independent.
03

Build & integrate

Iterative weekly builds with a staging environment, integration tests, and content migration scripts.
04

QA, launch & hypercare

Cross-browser, accessibility, Lighthouse, and integration QA, then a controlled cutover with on-call hypercare for the first two weeks.
