How we work
How a Shopify sprint actually runs
Scoped around the real bottleneck, shipped on a staged theme, reviewed in your time zone — and continued as a retainer only when it makes sense.
Process
Scope it. Ship it. Keep it shipping.
Daily overlap with US Central/ET & UK. Weekly Loom demos · Slack channel · agreed SLA.
-
01
Discovery
Scope around the real bottleneck
Start from the revenue-critical templates, technical friction, and business context that matter most instead of a generic wishlist.
-
02
Sprint plan
Work inside a clear sprint
Agree the sprint scope, priorities, and release path up front so implementation stays focused and easier to manage.
-
03
Build & QA
Ship with release discipline
Use staged themes, QA, mobile-first checks, and performance awareness to reduce avoidable storefront risk.
-
04
Updates
Keep communication light but clear
Shared Slack, weekly Loom demos, and practical written updates keep internal teams and agencies aligned without process drag.
-
05
Overlap
Support overlap where it matters
Daily overlap with US Central / ET and UK working hours keeps reviews, feedback, and unblockers moving.
-
06
Support
Continue after launch when needed

Built for serious Shopify teams. Not for everyone.

- Pushing untested changes straight to the live theme
