Hiring a Shopify designer: What you need to know

Hiring guide
01
When should I hire a Shopify designer?

Hire one before a redesign or replatform, when your store looks dated or off-brand next to your packaging and ads, when mobile conversion lags desktop, or when pages have grown into a patchwork of apps and one-off layouts.

02
What skills should I look for in a Shopify designer?

Look for live Shopify stores they have designed, not just concepts. Strong designers know how Shopify themes are built from sections and blocks, design mobile first in Figma with reusable components, and hand off specs developers can build without guesswork.

03
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify designer?

Costs depend on scope. On Storetasker, landing page designs start at $500 and new product page layouts at $2,000, while a redesign of your core store templates often runs $5,000-$20,000. Experts quote price, timeline and scope upfront.

Common Questions

It depends on the designer. Many design in Figma and hand off to a Shopify developer, while others work directly in the theme editor or customize theme code themselves. Say which you need in your brief, and Storetasker will match you accordingly.

Many brands start from a well-built Shopify theme and design custom sections, typography and layouts on top of it, which keeps cost and build time down. A fully custom design suits brands with unusual products or shopping journeys, or stores that have outgrown their theme. A designer can tell you which pages need custom work.

Within limits. Shopify’s checkout editor lets you add your logo, colors and fonts, while Shopify Plus allows more styling and custom extensions inside the checkout steps. A good designer works within these rules and puts most effort into the cart, product and landing pages you control.

Yes. Most hand off annotated Figma files with components mapped to your theme's sections and blocks, then stay available during the build to review the preview theme and answer your developer's questions over Slack, email or Zoom.

Share brand guidelines, Shopify and GA4 analytics, any heatmaps or session recordings, customer reviews, common support questions and stores you admire. A collaborator account on your Shopify store and an invite to your Figma team let the designer review the live theme and work in your files.

Your brand should own the final designs, so say so in the agreement before work starts. Ask for editable Figma files, exported assets and details of any fonts or icon sets you need to license, so another designer or developer can pick up the work later.

A redesign or a new set of templates is usually a project, quoted with price, timeline and scope. If your team ships new landing pages, campaign pages and sections every month, a monthly retainer keeps a designer on hand who already knows your theme. Experts work directly with your team over email, Slack and Zoom.
