Custom Shopify Themes
Dawn-derivative themes built in Liquid, on-brand, fast, and free of paid app bloat.
Shopify Development in Qatar — Qatar
Shopify in Qatar — themes, headless, and Plus, done right.
We work on the entire Shopify spectrum for Qatari brands — custom Dawn-derivative themes, full Shopify Plus implementations, and headless storefronts on Hydrogen and Next.js. Bilingual EN/AR with proper RTL, Tap and MyFatoorah for QAR-native payment, and Core Web Vitals tuned. Real Shopify engineering, shipped from Doha.
Overview
The full Shopify spectrum — not just stock themes.
Most Shopify stores in Qatar are stock themes with ten paid apps stacked on top — slow on mobile, generic on brand, and brittle when an app changes its pricing or breaks after an update. We don’t do that. We build custom Dawn-derivative themes in Liquid, use Shopify CLI for proper version control, and keep paid app usage disciplined so your storefront stays fast and yours.
When you outgrow the stock theme path, we move you to headless commerce on Shopify Hydrogen or Next.js with the Storefront API. Same Shopify backend you know — admin, payments, orders, inventory — paired with a frontend that’s yours to shape, fast on mobile, and friendly to bilingual EN/AR and content-heavy storytelling.
For brands at scale, we run full Shopify Plus implementations — Checkout UI Extensions, Shopify Functions for discounts and shipping logic, Flow automations, Scripts where supported, and B2B catalog setup. We integrate Tap Payments and MyFatoorah as approved providers for QAR-native acceptance, Mada and KNET for cross-GCC, and Shopify Payments, Stripe, and Checkout.com for global cards.
Bilingual is the default, not an upgrade. Shopify Markets configured for EN/AR routing, RTL layouts in Liquid, Arabic typography, translated metafields, and Arabic SEO with hreflang are baseline. Whether you’re launching, migrating off an old Shopify theme, scaling to Plus, or building a custom Shopify app — we scope it, build it, ship it, and stay on to optimize.

- STEP 022–3 weeks
Design
Mobile-first UX in Figma. Product page, PLP, cart, and checkout designed for real conversion benchmarks. Bilingual EN/AR layouts and RTL flows reviewed in parallel — not flipped at the end.
- STEP 034–12 weeks
Build
Theme work in Liquid with Shopify CLI, or headless Hydrogen / Next.js on Storefront API. Deployed to preview URLs every push. Payments, Functions, and apps wired with sandbox data first.
- STEP 041 week
Launch
Data import, DNS cutover, 301 redirects from the old store, sitemap submission, Search Console handover, analytics QA, and a full sandbox order test across devices before we flip the switch.
- STEP 05Ongoing
Optimize
Post-launch we run CRO sprints, A/B tests, retention flows, and Core Web Vitals monitoring. We tune theme code, app usage, and checkout based on what real shoppers do — not assumptions.
