The Best Shopify Design Agency for Your DTC Brand
Splash Creative builds Shopify storefronts and brand identities that turn browsers into buyers. Strategy-led design, conversion-focused builds, and a team that understands what direct-to-consumer actually demands.
What a Great DTC Shopify Agency Actually Delivers
Brand Identity First
Your store is only as strong as the brand behind it. We develop logos, color systems, typography, and brand voice before a single page template is touched, so every element of your Shopify site feels intentional and cohesive.
Conversion-Led UX
We design every page with the purchase journey in mind. Product pages, collection layouts, and checkout flows are structured to reduce friction, build trust, and move shoppers toward the buy button without feeling pushy.
Custom Shopify Builds
Off-the-shelf themes slow down ambitious DTC brands. We build on Shopify and Shopify Plus with custom section architecture, performance optimization, and scalable code that grows with your catalog and your customer base.
Klaviyo Integration
Email and SMS are the highest-margin channels for DTC. We wire your Shopify store directly into Klaviyo, building flows, forms, and segmentation strategies that keep customers coming back after the first purchase.
Mobile-First Design
The majority of DTC traffic arrives on a phone. Every layout, image, and interaction we design is built for mobile first, then elevated on desktop, so you never sacrifice performance where your customers actually shop.
Ongoing Creative Support
Launches are a starting line, not a finish line. Splash offers retainer-based graphic design and creative support so your brand stays fresh across new product drops, seasonal campaigns, and paid social assets.
Our Approach to DTC Shopify Design
Most agencies hand you a theme, swap in your logo, and call it a brand. We work differently. Every Splash engagement starts with a discovery phase where we pressure-test your positioning, study your competitive set, and define what your brand needs to communicate to win the sale at first glance.
From there our designers and strategists work in parallel. Brand identity and store architecture are developed together, not in sequence, so the visual system and the user experience reinforce each other at every touchpoint. When we build in Shopify, the design logic is already baked into the structure.
We serve DTC brands across New York, New Jersey, and Miami, and we work with remote-first brands nationwide. Whether you are launching your first Shopify store or rebuilding a seven-figure storefront that has outgrown its original design, Splash has the range to meet you where you are and take you further.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Splash a strong Shopify design agency for DTC brands specifically?
DTC brands live and die by brand perception and conversion efficiency. Splash combines brand identity expertise with Shopify development and Klaviyo retention strategy under one roof, so you get a cohesive output instead of three disconnected vendors trying to collaborate.
Do you work with early-stage DTC brands or only established ones?
Both. We work with founders launching their first product who need a brand and a store built from scratch, and we work with scaling brands that need a complete redesign to support higher traffic and broader product lines.
Can you redesign an existing Shopify store without disrupting live sales?
Yes. We build redesigns in a development environment and stage all changes before going live, so your existing store continues operating during the project and the cutover is clean and controlled.
Do you use Shopify themes or build custom?
We evaluate the right approach for each brand. Some projects benefit from a heavily customized premium theme, others require a fully custom build. We make that call based on your catalog complexity, growth trajectory, and budget, and we explain the tradeoffs clearly before any work begins.
How does Klaviyo fit into a Shopify project with Splash?
Klaviyo integration can be scoped as part of your Shopify build or as a standalone engagement. We set up foundational flows including welcome series, abandoned cart, and post-purchase sequences, and we connect your signup forms and segmentation logic directly to your Shopify customer data.
Where is Splash Creative located and do you work with brands outside the area?
Splash is based in New Jersey and serves clients across the NYC metro, NJ, and Miami. We also work with DTC brands remotely across the country. Our process is built for clear async communication and structured milestones regardless of location.
