San Francisco · fifty miles north

A store that reads as calmly as the product does.

Gradient is a California brand in San Francisco, fifty miles up the peninsula from San Jose — the same market by any practical measure, but we will still name the actual city.

It sits in the comfort and sleep category, where the storefront has to feel like the thing it sells rather than shout over it. Restraint is harder to build than volume, and it is the harder brief to get signed off.

Stuffed States

A new store, a paid program and an email engine inside one season, timed to land before the gifting window closed. If you want a build and its follow-through in one place, this is it.

One-time · foundation

Build, redesign, or migrate your store

Starting from scratch, replacing a theme you've outgrown, or getting off a platform that's holding you back. You end up with a store that's easy to buy from and easy for your team to run.

Then whatever keeps it selling.

Inside the build

What you get when we build / redesign your store.

Whether it's a new store or a move off something you've outgrown, the same five things have to be right before launch. None of them are extras.

Your history comes with you

Moving from WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace or an older Shopify theme — products, customers, orders and the URLs Google already knows about.

A catalog people can shop

Variants, options, collections and filters set up so a shopper finds the thing they came for, and so your team can add the next product without calling us.

A theme built for your store

Designed and built around what you actually sell, fast on a phone, and editable by you afterwards — not a template with your logo dropped in.

The rest of your stack, connected

Klaviyo, reviews, subscriptions, shipping and your ERP or 3PL, wired up and actually passing data — plus the tracking, so you can tell what worked.

A launch nobody panics about

Checkout tested end to end, redirects mapped, analytics confirmed firing, and someone watching the first orders land instead of hoping.

Questions, San Jose edition.

Are you actually in San Jose?

We're a remote agency, so there's no office to visit anywhere — ours or anyone else's. Our people are spread across the US and we run on video calls, which is how we'd work with you either way. Our nearest client is fifty miles north in San Francisco, and we will name the city rather than saying 'the Bay Area' and hoping you don't ask.

We can build it ourselves. What would you actually add?

Usually not engineering, and San Jose is where we say that most plainly. If your team can ship a storefront, the constraint is merchandising, photography and the email calendar — the unglamorous half. Hire for the part nobody on your team wants to own.

Our conversion rate is fine but growth is flat. What changes?

Then the problem is upstream of the store, and more CRO will not fix it. A flat curve with a healthy rate usually means the audience is capped — which makes it an acquisition and email problem rather than a site one, and we'd rather tell you that than sell you a redesign.

What's included in a typical Shopify build?

Design and theme development around what you actually sell, your catalog set up so it can be shopped and maintained, the integrations you already depend on wired in, tracking that reports honestly, and a launch somebody watches. If you're migrating, the move itself and the redirects come with it.

Which platforms can you migrate from?

WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Wix, and older Shopify themes — products, customers, order history and the URLs you already rank for. The redirects are the part people forget, and they're the part that decides whether your search traffic survives the move.

How long does a build take, and who does the work?

Most builds run eight to twelve weeks depending on catalog size and how many systems have to talk to each other. No juniors and no handoffs — the people you meet are the people who do it, and you'll approve the design before anything gets built.

What happens after launch?

Nothing switches off. Shopify Growth keeps the store improving month to month, and most brands add ads, email or testing on top once the store is doing its job. You can also just take the store and go — it's yours either way.

Where we work

San Jose and the South Bay around it.

San Jose is the biggest city in the Bay and the one people forget to name. The brands here are often founded by people who build software for a living, which shows up as excellent tracking and neglected merchandising.

We’re a remote agency — the team is spread across the country, with a good chunk of it on the west coast. Everything runs on video calls, so you get the same people and the same hours whether you’re downtown or an hour out of it.
