Custom Shopify 2.0 Theme Creation
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
Hi!
I'm looking for a Shopify 2.0 expert to build a completely custom theme from scratch, with the goal of creating a lightweight, fast-loading, SEO-friendly, and high-converting Shopify store.
My current store uses a pre-made theme with lots of JavaScript and unnecessary features, which results in:
Very poor mobile performance (LCP: 8.5s)
Heavy blocking scripts and slow First Contentful Paint (2.3s)
Too much code loading above the fold, hurting user experience
What I Need:
A custom-built Shopify 2.0 theme designed for:
Maximum performance (Google PageSpeed >90 on mobile)
Clear UX and conversion-optimized layout
Advanced faceted filtering
SEO-structured code with JSON-LD rich data
Minimal use of JavaScript – only what’s absolutely necessary
Core Requirements:
Performance
LCP under 2.5 seconds on mobile (currently 8.5s)
Minimize JavaScript and defer non-critical assets
Lazy load images and preload key assets
No bloated libraries or page builder bloat
Speed Index and Total Blocking Time minimized
UX & Conversion Design
Custom mobile-first layout
Clear product categories and navigation
High CTR design above the fold (CTA, shipping, trust)
Fast, frictionless checkout flow
SEO Foundation
Structured data: products, breadcrumbs, organization
Clean URL structure and internal linking
Correct heading and metadata hierarchy
Proper alt-tags and accessibility focus
Product Filtering
Advanced filtering by: price, brand, category, features
Based on tags or metafields
AJAX filters preferred (without page reloads)
No 3rd-party apps unless extremely lightweight
Your Profile:
Proven Shopify 2.0 theme developer
Experience building fast-loading, custom storefronts
Strong understanding of performance tuning (LCP, TBT, FCP)
Familiar with Shopify Liquid, JSON-LD, metafields, and AJAX
Bonus: UI/UX design skills or collaboration with a designer
