Kinmoor

Kinmoor Studios · Shopify and software

Beautiful and fast. Pick both.

We design and build Shopify storefronts, apps, and software for consumer brands. Every build has a performance budget, and we meet it without cutting back the design.

What we build

Online stores, the apps that extend them, and the back-office tools that keep a brand running. We design, measure, and test each one before it ships.

Themes

Shopify storefronts

Custom Online Store 2.0 themes designed for your brand, built from sections your team can edit without calling a developer.

Audits

Store audits

We check speed, accessibility, search, and every installed app, and back each finding with evidence. You get a ranked list of fixes, whether or not you rebuild.

Apps

Shopify apps and integrations

Checkout extensions, admin tools, and connections to the rest of your systems. We build them when an off-the-shelf app is too slow, costs too much, or doesn't fit how you work.

Software

Back-office software

Our first product brings Shopify payouts into QuickBooks. It prepares each payout automatically, and nothing is posted until a person approves it. It's in private development.

How a project runs

You see a working store before you commit to building one.

  1. Audit

    We test your current store on real phones and computers, then write up what's slow, what's broken, and what to fix first.

  2. Concept

    We build a working concept on a private development store with your real products. You click through it before you sign for the build.

  3. Build

    We build the theme in version control. Every change has to pass the performance budget and an accessibility scan before it goes live.

  4. Launch and handover

    We set up redirects, check every app, and watch the site after launch. You get the code, the documentation, and full admin access.

The budgets we build to

Every design decision has to fit within these limits. The panel at the top of this page measures the same things as it loads.

MeasureWhat a shopper noticesBudget
Largest Contentful PaintLCPHow long until the main image or headline appears≤ 2.5 s

The first three are Google's thresholds for a good score, measured at the 75th percentile of real visits on phones and computers.

We make games too.

Kinmoor started as a game studio, and our first game is in development. A game has a few milliseconds to draw each frame, and we hold websites to the same kind of limit.
