Most DTC brands split their launch budget between a branding agency and a Shopify development agency. The result: two vendors who don’t fully understand each other’s work, a visual identity that doesn’t translate cleanly to the store, and a launch that looks like it was assembled in parts rather than designed as a system.

If your store is already live but underperforming (low conversion rate, high cart abandonment, a brand that looks generic next to premium competitors) that is also an engagement we handle. We audit existing Shopify stores, identify the specific gaps in brand, conversion, and retention, and rebuild from there. Most underperforming DTC stores share the same problems: a product detail page that doesn’t do the selling work, a visual identity that undermines the price point, and no Klaviyo retention layer capturing buyers who leave.
