We build stores that sell, not just sites that look nice.
Northbuild is a Shopify-focused studio building fast, conversion-ready stores since 2019 — design, development, marketing, and automation, handled end to end.
Four disciplines. One studio built for growth.
No account managers, no handoffs between departments — a tight, accountable process from scope to launch.
Web Design & Development
Custom-built sites and storefronts engineered to load fast and convert — not just look good in a screenshot.
Shopify Development
Full store builds, theme customization, and checkout optimization for brands that sell on Shopify.
Digital Marketing
Getting the right people to the store we just built, and keeping them coming back.
AI Automation
Systems that handle the repetitive work — lead generation, outreach, and workflows — so your team doesn't have to.
A Shopify partner from first store to full growth engine.
Every store is different, but the work generally breaks down into three stages — and we handle all three.
Design & Build
- Store design
- Custom themes
- Liquid development
- Checkout customization
Optimize & Convert
- Speed optimization
- Conversion rate optimization
- Product & collection pages
- Analytics setup
Scale & Retain
- Email & Klaviyo flows
- App integrations
- Bundles & upsells
- Ongoing support
What you get that's hard to find elsewhere.
No layers, no delays
Scoping, design, and build happen in the same conversation — not a chain of departments passing your project along.
Built, not templated
Every store is built for the brand it belongs to. No recycled themes with a new logo dropped in.
One point of contact
The person who scopes your project is the person who ships it — nothing gets lost in translation.
From first message to live store.
Discover
We map what your store actually needs — not a generic checklist.
Design
Layout and visual direction built around your product and customer.
Build
Development, checkout, and integrations — tested before launch.
Grow
Marketing and automation layered on once the store is live.
Real stores, built and shipped.

What clients say after launch.
The store looks nice and everything. Good job. However, the most important objective is to consistently generate thousands of purchases per month.
Wow, thank you so much. Looks great 👍
Just checking it right now — it looks great.
A founder-led studio, built on real hands-on work.
Northbuild is a Shopify-focused studio built around real, hands-on e-commerce experience since 2019 — not a template mill, not a reseller. Every store in the portfolio was built from layout to checkout.
We keep the process tight and direct: the person who scopes your project is the person who ships it. That means faster turnarounds, fewer miscommunications, and work that's judged on whether it actually converts.
Details, considered.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Every project starts with a short discovery conversation to understand your store, your goals, and your timeline — then we scope the work around that, rather than forcing it into a fixed package.
What's the investment range?
It depends entirely on scope — a theme customization is very different from a full custom build. Reach out with what you need and we'll give you a straight quote, no generic tiers.
Where are you based?
Remote-first — we work with store owners wherever they are.
Do you only work with Shopify?
Shopify is the core focus, but we also handle general web design, marketing, and automation for businesses that need more than just a store.
Have a store or site that needs work?
Send a note directly — no forms, no gatekeeping.
