Akira is a Shopify-only dev studio.
We don't do WordPress. We don't do Wix. We don't do agency busywork. We build conversion-first Shopify stores for founders and operators who want their site to actually pay for itself — and we back every package with a money-back guarantee.
Built by an operator, for operators
Akira II LLC was founded in California by senior engineers who got tired of two things: agencies charging $40K for $4K work, and freelancers ghosting mid-project. We built Akira around three rules that have not moved since day one.
- Senior dev, end-to-end. The same engineer scopes, designs, codes, and ships. No junior hand-offs. No outsource to Eastern Europe at 3 AM.
- Fixed price, fixed deadline, money-back if either slips. We've shipped 200+ Shopify projects on time. The few we missed, we refunded.
- 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.
By the numbers
What we believe
Speed is a feature.
Every Akira store ships at 90+ Lighthouse mobile. Sub-1.5s LCP. Sub-200ms INP. If your site is slow, you're paying Meta and Google to send traffic that bounces.
Code is a liability.
We write the least amount of Liquid + JS that solves the problem. No themes built on Page Builder bloat. Every line is reviewable, maintainable, and yours forever.
Apps are not a strategy.
We replace bloated apps with 200 lines of Liquid wherever possible. Reviews, upsells, sticky carts, free-shipping bars — all custom-coded, all free of monthly fees.
Conversion is testable.
Hero copy, ATC button color, offer wording — none of it is a matter of opinion. We build A/B-test scaffolding into every Conversion Pro and Scale Studio engagement.
Who we work with
Akira is for founders and operators running real businesses — not bloggers, not dropshippers selling AliExpress junk on Friday afternoons. Our typical client is doing $20K-$2M/month and either (a) launching a new brand and refusing to start with a Shopify template, or (b) replacing a builder who shipped a sluggish, app-stuffed store that's bleeding revenue.
How to work with us
Every engagement starts the same way: a free 30-minute strategy call. We diagnose the bottleneck, tell you which package fits — including "none of them, here's what to do instead" if that's the honest answer — and email a written quote within 24 hours.
