01
Shopify Web Design & Development

Most Shopify stores don’t fail. They usually stall somewhere between $50K and $150K per month because the design was built to look good, not to convert. We build the other kind. As certified Shopify Plus Experts, our senior team, averaging 10+ years on the platform, designs and develops high-performance Shopify and Shopify Plus stores in 4 – 8 weeks, guaranteed. Conversion-focused from the first wireframe. Engineered for speed, mobile, and AOV. For: founders launching or replatforming who are done with “pretty websites that don’t pay the bills.”

02
Theme Customization & Custom Solutions

Your theme isn’t broken. It’s leaking revenue usually in three places: the PDP, the cart, and the mobile checkout. We’ve audited over 1,000 Shopify stores, so we know where to look. Whether you need a few surgical fixes or a full theme rebuild, our Shopify Experts customise Dawn, Impulse, Prestige, or any Plus-grade theme into a storefront tuned for your customer, your AOV target, and your Core Web Vitals score. No bloated apps. No template lookalikes. Built and shipped by senior developers who’ve been on Shopify since the early days.

03
Shopify Migration

Migrating to Shopify Plus is where most agencies break things SEO equity, customer accounts, subscription data, historical orders. We’ve moved brands off Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and Salesforce Commerce Cloud without losing a single redirect or a single ranking. Every migration includes a full SEO preservation plan, 1:1 redirect mapping, design parity (or upgrade), a staging-to-production cutover at off-peak, and zero downtime on launch day. If you’re moving because your current platform is bleeding you on dev costs or page speed, you’re talking to the right Shopify Plus Experts.

04
AI Powered SEO

Search just changed. Half your future buyers will ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews before they ever type into a search bar and most Shopify stores aren’t structured to be cited by an LLM. We build that structure. Schema-first content architecture, entity optimization, semantic clustering, technical hygiene, and authority signals so your products show up in the answer, not just the index. The agencies still selling you 2018-era keyword reports are about to find out their playbook stopped working. We’ve already moved on.

05
Ongoing Support & Maintenance

The launch is the start, not the finish line. Our retainer clients get a senior Shopify developer, a project manager, and access to the full Blackbelt team without the cost of hiring in-house. We handle theme updates, app conflicts, speed regressions, and security patches. We also cover BFCM peak readiness and the inevitable “can we add this feature by Friday?” requests. 98% of our clients renew, and 90% of new clients come from a referral by an existing one. That’s the bar.

06
Branding & Visual Identity

Most ecommerce brands don’t have a brand. They have a logo and a color palette. We build the rest positioning, voice, identity system, photography direction, packaging cues, and the design language that carries from your homepage to your unboxing moment. Built for the screen first, because that’s where 95% of your customers will meet you. Founders working with our Shopify Experts get one team handling brand and store, so the identity you pay for actually makes it onto the PDP not lost in a handoff between three vendors.

07
Content Creation & Event Photography

Conversion isn’t just code it’s the photo on the PDP, the lifestyle shot in the hero, the founder clip on the About page. We produce ecommerce-grade content and event photography that’s actually built to be cropped, sequenced, and merchandised across your site, ads, and email not just look nice on Instagram. From product shoots and launch events to founder-led video and UGC direction, we deliver assets your store can use the day they’re shot.

08
Digital Marketing & Social Media Management

Paid traffic to a leaky store burns budget. Paid traffic to a tuned store compounds. We run Meta, Google, and TikTok campaigns for Shopify and Shopify Plus brands but only after the store is set up to convert, because anything else is lighting cash on fire. Full-funnel creative, audience architecture, server-side tracking, weekly reporting tied to revenue (not impressions), and a creative testing cadence built for the algorithm we’re running on this week not last year’s. For: brands ready to scale acquisition past $100K/month in ad spend without watching ROAS collapse.

“Buscas un Shopify Expert? No busques más: Blackbelt Commerce.
Esta es mi cuarta web, después de tres intentos fallidos con otros desarrolladores. Decidí apostar por Shopify y, tras una búsqueda muy cuidadosa, llegué a Blackbelt.
Lo que marcó la diferencia fue su transparencia: “si estás con prisa o con presupuesto muy ajustado, probablemente no somos la mejor opción”. Eso me dio confianza.
Aunque mi presupuesto era limitado, decidí avanzar y resultó ser la mejor decisión. El equipo realmente entendió mi producto, me guió en el proceso y trabajó conmigo de forma cercana a pesar de la distancia.
El resultado: una web impecable, bien pensada y perfectamente ejecutada.
