Agency Partnerships
Shopify design and development support for agencies delivering client projects.
The work
I work through Xylo Solutions to help agencies turn approved designs into Shopify stores and custom sections. Clear scope and communication keep the handoff straightforward.
How we approach it
We agree on the deliverables, responsibilities and review points first. The handoff includes the theme code and notes on the parts your team will maintain.
Typical scope
- Figma to Shopify
- Theme builds
- Section development
- Responsive implementation
- Project handoff
Scope and timing are agreed for each project.
Discuss your projectMake the design-to-development handoff clear
A useful handoff includes approved desktop and mobile layouts, assets, interaction notes and the editable sections expected in Shopify. Agree who supplies copy, who approves changes and who handles launch access. This reduces ambiguity during implementation.
Agree on review and handover
Define the review stages and the difference between a defect and a new request. Include a final walkthrough of reusable sections, custom functionality and known dependencies. Client communication and responsibility for ongoing maintenance should be agreed before work starts.
