The Best Shopify Design Agency for a DTC Brand
Splash Creative builds Shopify storefronts and brand identities that convert browsers into buyers. From NYC to Miami, we help direct-to-consumer brands launch, scale, and look the part.
What a DTC Brand Actually Needs from a Shopify Agency
Conversion-First Store Design
Every layout decision, from hero to checkout, is made to reduce friction and move product. We design Shopify stores that earn their keep on day one.
Brand Identity That Owns a Shelf
DTC is crowded. We build logos, color systems, typography, and packaging direction that give your brand a clear, ownable point of view before a customer ever clicks Add to Cart.
Shopify and Klaviyo Integration
We connect your store to Klaviyo so your email and SMS flows start working from launch day. Flows, segments, and pop-up forms built and tested before you go live.
Mobile-Native Build
Most DTC traffic arrives on a phone. We design and QA every page at mobile breakpoints first, then scale up, so your store performs where your customers actually shop.
Product Page Architecture
Strong product pages sell. We structure imagery, copy hierarchy, reviews, and upsell blocks so each PDP does real persuasion work without overwhelming the buyer.
Ongoing Growth Support
Launch is the start, not the finish. We offer retained design and development support so your store keeps improving as your catalog, campaigns, and customers evolve.
Our Approach to Shopify DTC Projects
We start with brand before we open Shopify. If your identity is unclear, no theme or app stack will fix it. So every engagement begins with a discovery session that aligns on audience, positioning, and visual direction. From there we move into wireframes, design mockups, and a review cycle that keeps you in the loop without slowing the build down.
Once design is approved, our developers build on Shopify using clean, documented code. No bloated page builders. No shortcuts that create tech debt. We integrate the tools your stack actually needs, including Klaviyo, review apps, subscription apps, and analytics, and we hand off a store your team can manage with confidence.
Splash is based in New Jersey with clients across New York City, New Jersey, and Miami. We work with early-stage DTC brands launching their first store and with established brands that have outgrown their current site and need a serious rebuild.

FAQ
What makes Splash a strong Shopify agency for DTC brands specifically?
DTC brands live or die on brand clarity and conversion rate. We combine brand design and Shopify development under one roof, so the visual identity and the store architecture are built together, not bolted together after the fact. That integration is where most agencies fall short.
Do you work with brands that are launching for the first time?
Yes. We regularly work with founders who are launching their first DTC product. We help you establish a brand identity, build your Shopify store, and connect your email marketing before your first campaign goes out.
Can you redesign an existing Shopify store without starting over completely?
In many cases, yes. We assess your current theme, content, and conversion data first. Sometimes a focused redesign of key pages delivers most of the lift without a full rebuild. We will give you an honest recommendation after the discovery phase.
Do you build on custom themes or Shopify OS 2.0 themes?
Both. We can start from a premium base theme and customize it heavily, or build a fully custom theme from scratch depending on your budget, timeline, and requirements. We will recommend the right approach for your specific project.
How does Klaviyo fit into the project?
We set up your Klaviyo account integration, core automated flows (welcome series, abandoned cart, post-purchase), list segmentation, and at least one opt-in form. You launch with revenue-generating email in place, not as an afterthought.
Where is Splash Creative based and what markets do you serve?
We are based in New Jersey and work with clients throughout New York City, New Jersey, and Miami, as well as DTC brands across the country who work with us remotely. Our process is fully remote-friendly.
