Theme and section development
Custom themes, OS 2.0 sections, product templates, collection experiences, accessibility improvements, and maintainable merchant controls.
Shopify services for Hamilton brands
Build the store. Fix the friction. Keep shipping.
Parkdale focuses on Shopify and Shopify Plus for ecommerce work. That focus covers the storefront, connected apps, migration risk, performance, and the ongoing release backlog.
Shopify Plus and checkout
Checkout extensibility, B2B, Markets, subscriptions, Functions, and Plus-specific workflows implemented with platform constraints in view.
Migrations and rebuilds
Move from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Salesforce, or an older Shopify setup with redirects, catalog structure, and launch QA planned.
CRO and experimentation
Audit product, collection, cart, and checkout journeys; prioritize hypotheses; ship measured improvements; and learn from real customer behavior.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Trace theme, app, script, image, and rendering bottlenecks before changing what customers and merchants rely on.
Apps and integrations
Connect Klaviyo, Recharge, ERP, fulfillment, analytics, subscription, review, and custom services without turning the theme into a patchwork.
Common engagements
Start with the constraint that is costing you momentum.
Some stores need a project. Others need dependable weekly capacity. The engagement follows the backlog and the business risk.
The theme no longer supports the brand
Rework the information architecture, templates, design system, responsive behavior, and merchant controls without carrying every old compromise forward.
The current platform limits growth
Map data, URLs, integrations, redirects, QA, and cutover before the move so launch day is not the first full-system test.
The roadmap is larger than the team
Use a care or growth cadence for fixes, landing pages, experiments, integrations, seasonal releases, and improvements that otherwise stay queued.

View project summary →Why Parkdale
Senior execution without a handoff maze.
The value is not a local-office claim. It is direct communication, Shopify focus, North American working hours, and work your team can own.
Talk to the people doing the work
Technical decisions, tradeoffs, and progress do not disappear behind an account-management layer.
Shopify is the ecommerce platform
Theme, Plus, app, migration, and optimization work share one platform context instead of a generalist learning curve.
Your repository and documentation
Code, accounts, release notes, and handoff remain accessible to your team without a proprietary lock-in layer.
Delivery
A clear path from audit to release cadence.
The exact sequence changes with project risk, but the work stays visible from the first technical review through launch and iteration.
Audit and align
Review the theme, app surface, performance, funnel, data, integrations, and business priorities before committing to a roadmap.
Ship a useful first release
Choose an early change that validates the working relationship and reduces a real constraint rather than producing a presentation-only milestone.
Run the roadmap
Use shared priorities, previews, QA, release notes, and an agreed cadence for project completion or ongoing store improvement.
Hamilton-area availability
Serving Hamilton remotely from Toronto.
Parkdale does not claim a Hamilton office. We work remotely on Eastern Time with merchants in Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas, Stoney Creek, Waterdown, Flamborough, and Glanbrook.

Questions before you hand over the store.
Straight answers for project and ongoing Shopify work.
Do you only work on Shopify?
For ecommerce work, yes. Parkdale focuses on Shopify and Shopify Plus, including adjacent systems such as Klaviyo, Recharge, fulfillment services, analytics, and custom integrations.
Can you work with our existing theme?
Yes. We can audit, repair, extend, or progressively refactor an existing theme when that is safer than a rebuild. If the foundation is the constraint, we will explain why a rebuild is the better option.
Do you handle Shopify Plus migrations?
Yes. Migration work can include catalog and customer data, platform configuration, integrations, URL redirects, storefront rebuilds, QA, cutover planning, and post-launch monitoring.
Can you improve conversion without redesigning everything?
Often. CRO starts by identifying where customers hesitate or fail. The right first test may be copy, merchandising, navigation, product information, cart behavior, performance, or measurement rather than a full visual redesign.
How is Shopify work priced?
Defined builds and migrations can be quoted as projects. Stores with an ongoing roadmap are usually better served by a monthly care or growth engagement. Scope, risk, and required capacity determine the recommendation.
Do you provide ongoing Shopify support?
Yes. Ongoing work can cover bug fixes, theme updates, new sections, landing pages, integrations, performance, experiments, seasonal releases, and technical roadmap delivery.
Give your Shopify backlog a team that ships.
Send the store URL, the current constraint, and the releases you cannot get through the queue. We will recommend a project or ongoing path.
