Magento web design that converts visitors into customers
How we approach Magento design
Our design process is guided by established UX principles, enhanced with data-driven insights and AI-powered optimization. We don’t just make your store look good—we engineer every element to maximize conversions, improve user experience, and support your business goals.
We offer flexible approaches depending on your needs and timeline: fully custom designs built from the ground up, or strategic customization of premium Magento themes. Both paths benefit from our proven methodology and focus on delivering measurable ROI through intelligent design decisions.
Custom design from scratch
Building a custom Magento theme means complete creative freedom and a design system tailored precisely to your brand and business model. Our designers create unique interfaces that set you apart from competitors while optimizing every interaction for conversion.
Our custom design process covers six essential page types: front page, product page, category page, checkout flow (typically 2-3 pages), content pages, and custom 404 pages that convert lost visitors instead of letting them bounce. For stores with customer accounts, we design those interfaces too.
You'll collaborate directly with our design team through conceptualization and mockup phases. We often create 2-3 variations for key pages like product displays, letting you choose the approach that best fits different product categories. The result is a design system that's uniquely yours and built to perform.
Theme customization that looks custom
Most premium Magento themes, when customized strategically, end up looking completely unique and brand-aligned. This approach delivers professional results faster and at lower cost than building from scratch—perfect when speed to market matters.
Theme customization works best when you need focused improvements rather than complete redesigns. We can easily modify colors, typography, and page layouts while ensuring the result maintains strong UX principles and conversion optimization.
Choosing your approach
Consider custom design when: you need complete differentiation, have complex unique requirements, or want a design system built specifically around your catalog and customer journey.
Choose theme customization when: you need faster deployment, have a limited budget, or want proven design patterns with brand-specific styling. If you're planning extensive theme modifications, custom design often becomes more cost-effective.
