Why Akira

Three rules. Two hundred wins.

We're not a generalist agency. We're not a freelancer marketplace. We're a senior-only Shopify studio that ships what it scopes — or refunds the engagement.

Speed is a feature

Every Akira store ships at 90+ Lighthouse mobile, sub-1.5s LCP, sub-200ms INP. Slow stores kill paid traffic. We refuse to build them.

No app bloat

Where 200 lines of Liquid replace a $30/mo app, we write the Liquid. Reviews, upsells, sticky carts, free-shipping bars — all custom, all yours.

Conversion is the brief

A pretty store that doesn't sell is a failed deliverable. We measure ourselves on lift in your numbers — not Dribbble likes.

On-time or your money back

Fixed-price, fixed-deadline. Miss our date, get a 100% refund. We've issued four in 200+ projects. The guarantee is what forces honest scope.

Senior dev end-to-end

Same engineer scopes, designs, builds, ships. No junior hand-offs. No 3 AM outsource pings. The dev on your call writes your code.

Code you own

Every Liquid file goes into your theme. Optional source-of-truth GitHub repo. Hand-off-ready for your in-house team, forever.

Pricing

Nine packages. One promise.

Pick the stage that matches your store. Every engagement backed by our money-back deadline guarantee.

Posture-care DTC: 0.9% → 2.7% CR

What clients say.

★★★★★

"I've worked with three Shopify shops before Akira. None shipped on time. Akira shipped four days early, with everything I'd asked for plus three things I hadn't realized I needed."

RM
R. Mendez
Founder · Posture-care DTC
★★★★★

"The conversion-rate guarantee is real. They kept optimizing for six weeks until our CR doubled. No agency I've worked with operates like this."

K. Chen
Head of Ecommerce · Sauna retailer
★★★★★

"They replaced four apps with custom Liquid and saved us $1,200/month. The build paid for itself in three months."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is the money-back guarantee real?
Yes — and it's the cornerstone of every Akira engagement. If we miss the contractually-promised delivery date for reasons within our control, you get a 100% refund. We've issued four in 200+ projects.
How do the three pricing tabs fit together?
Build a store ships you a store. Smaller wins fix one specific thing fast (speed, migration, intensive day, email). After launch keeps a senior dev on call so the store keeps improving. Most clients start with one Build package, then add Smaller Wins as needs arise, and end on the Retainer.
What's the most popular package?
Conversion Pro ($4,997, 14-day CRO build) is our bestseller for new clients. The CRO Retainer ($1,497/mo) is the most popular post-launch — most Conversion Pro clients roll into the retainer at month two.
Will I own the code?
Yes. On full payment, all deliverables — theme, custom Liquid, any custom apps — are yours. Optional source-of-truth GitHub repo on request.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes. Every Scale Studio build is Plus-ready by default. We also build custom Plus features (checkout extensions, B2B catalogs, custom Shopify Functions).
How do I get started?
Two paths: (1) book a free 30-minute strategy call from the contact page, or (2) buy the $97 Audit Sprint — you'll have a 25-point report in 72 hours plus a $97 voucher toward larger packages.
