Hiring a Shopify Designer: FAQ

How much does a Shopify website designer cost?

At SPLIT Development, Shopify designers work from $35 per hour, and full store design projects start from $1,000. The final price depends on the number of templates and whether you need a design system.

What is the difference between a Shopify designer and a Shopify developer?

A Shopify designer plans how the store looks and works and delivers layouts in Figma. A Shopify developer builds those layouts in the theme with Liquid, CSS and JavaScript. SPLIT Development has both on one team.

Do I get the Figma files?

Yes. At the end of the project you get the Figma file with full rights, including the design system and all page layouts.

Can your designer work with my own developer?

Yes. Designs are handed over with specs, component states and assets, and the designer stays available for questions during the build.

Can you redesign my store without rebuilding it?

Often, yes. Many redesigns update the sections and templates of the current Shopify 2.0 theme instead of replacing it. Meroda Cosmetics moved to a new Shopify 2.0 design across five stores with SPLIT Development.

How long does a Shopify store design take?

It depends on the number of templates. As an example, the Jack & Friends Jerky store took 7 weeks, including its Figma design system and the build.
