First&Third specializes in custom Shopify Plus experiences. We work closely with our clients to create websites that are unique to your brand, optimized to drive conversions, and simple to manage. Get in touch to see how we can help you.
From major migrations to everyday optimizations, we help digital and ecommerce teams stay agile, improve site performance, and unlock more from their Shopify store.
Replatforming is high-stakes—especially when performance, SEO, and product data are on the line. We handle the heavy lifting so your team can move with confidence.
If your site doesn’t reflect your brand—or guide users to purchase—you’re leaving money on the table. We help brands elevate their UX, visual storytelling, and conversion flows to drive growth.
Manual updates, clunky workflows, and missing features are signs it’s time to upgrade. We build modern, Shopify 2.0-compliant themes that are faster, more flexible, and easier to manage.
If your team needs a developer to change copy or update a banner, your theme isn’t doing its job. We build editing experiences that put marketers and ecommerce teams in control.
Shopify Scripts are being deprecated—and time’s running out. We help brands future-proof their setups with efficient, stable Shopify Functions that scale with your store.
Page speed and performance directly impact conversion rate, SEO, and customer experience. We optimize for all three—without sacrificing design or brand expression.

“We’ve partnered with First&Third for the past 3 years – and the length of our partnership is a testament to the quality of their work and team. Everyone on their team has been attentive, responsive and extremely easy to work with. Our company’s needs are ever changing, and we’re usually on very aggressive schedules. Despite this, they have successfully tackled all of our Shopify Plus needs, including one-off custom requests. I highly recommend them without hesitation.”

The average agency simply takes direction from a client even if the client isn’t an expert in web design and development. This approach often leaves companies with inadequate and underperforming websites that do not meet their objectives.
We start by getting to know you, your business, and the purpose of your project. After the kickoff, we’ll hold a workshop where we work collaboratively to understand the business objectives, your goals for the user experience, and the vision for the project’s look, feel, and functionality.
We run collaborative Discovery workshops with your team to help us understand your customers along with their goals and your goals for the site as well. We then work with you to create a prioritized feature list and roadmap for the project so your team will know what to expect going forward.
We will run a Design workshop that helps us understand what you like about your current site and where we can take inspiration for improvements. We’ll then finalize a brand look and feel and design the pages of the site.
Taking the approved designs, we develop the site with the ultimate goal of letting you manage it. We make sure to keep as much of the management of the site going forward in your hands so you don’t need extra development work to keep your business running.
Before launch, we run exhaustive QA testing and ensure that you have time for testing as well. This gives you an opportunity to familiarize yourself with the site and gives us the chance to train you on managing the site going forward. Once we’re bug free, then we launch and monitor the site for any unforeseen issues over the next 30 days.
“First&Third has been an important partner for us as we’ve expanded our DTC capabilities. They were able to quickly understand our backend and work with us to prioritize our projects based on timelines and ROI. They’re extremely responsive, offer sound strategic and tactical support, and are an absolute pleasure to work with. I’d highly recommend working with them!”
