Who You Are

You're don't identify as a "Brand Owner". You're a regular person who created a product out of necessity, and it's helped you create a wildly successful business. One that solved a very real pain-point in your life (literally or figuratively) and your indie brand was born out of love and a lot of elbow grease. Now your indie brand has grown to be a household name, and it needs an online home fit for its trajectory.

You may be struggling to differentiate your brand from the competition, having a hard time communicating your brand message, or simply seeking a more personalized experience for your customers. Whatever your challenges may be, our expert team is here to help.

Plus, you want a partner you can rely on not just for a "one-off" project, but to be a long term reliable partner for your business - one that cares about your customers just as much as you do.

We build stories, not stores.

We understand the challenges that come with building a successful online business. From creating a user-friendly interface to integrating social media and other marketing channels, there are many moving parts to consider. Our team of Shopify experts is here to help you every step of the way. We'll take the time to understand your brand's unique personality, values, and goals, and build a custom Shopify store that represents your brand in the best possible way.

Our Values

Arq's friction free process strives to be the support for our clients by:

Leading with compassion

Our clients are busy entrepreneurs who might be doing everything themselves and are overwhelmed. We endure to make an experience that's friction free, organized, and alleviate anxiety so you focus your energy elsewhere.

Providing clarity

Building an ecommerce business can be like staring into a black hole of the unknown. We don't have anything to prove by talking over your head. We speak with the intent to equip you with the knowledge you need to succeed.

Infusing Joy

Long projects are draining on everyone. We only work with clients we're excited about, allowing a mutual passion for your business to bleed into every facet of our time together. Our goal is to make you feel excited for every phase on this journey, from concept to completion.

Creating with Integrity

We're creating an experience to connect with your ideal customers - that means we sometimes push back on what you think you want. We're here to help you arrive at the right destination and we operate on providing our insights candidly and collaboratively, but we need your trust to help us move forward with radical candor.

KIND WORDS

One of the things that really stood out to me was just how buttoned up your process was from start to finish. I felt like very supported. I felt like I knew exactly what phase of the project we were on what you guys were working on. I felt very informed as to what you needed for me in order to make the project a success specifically. And it really helped me stay calm knowing that things were progressing on y'all's end when I couldn't necessarily see the work being done.

- Jen Davis, Creative Director

I cannot speak highly enough about their work. From our initial consultation to the final product, the team was extremely attentive to my needs and preferences, and they executed my vision flawlessly. The design was not only visually stunning but also effective in engaging and retaining subscribers. I received numerous compliments on the new design, and it has undoubtedly contributed to increased engagement. I am so grateful for the Arq Design's expertise and professionalism, and I look forward to working with the team again in the future. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated designer.

- Stephanie Commisio, Founder Bluum Maison

What do I need to work with you?

For websites, it’s critical that you have a professionally designed brand, and a suite of brand photography (lifestyle and product shots) otherwise we will hit a roadblock pretty early on in the design process. Don't worry we can help you take care of your branding and photography needs as well. Our holistic approach to web design has been crafted to walk you through each phase making it easy for you, making it a seamless transition once our project begins. Read more about our process here.

How soon can we begin?

We would love to be able to start ASAP, however our availability varies throughout the year due to the scope of your specific project. We recommend reaching out to us at least 3-4 months in advance of your ideal launch date as we accept a limited number of clients per month. Fill out our client application form so we can assess if we’re a good fit for your brand!

What platforms do you develop websites on?

We have extensive design and development experience in Shopify - we don't claim to be experts in anything else.

Do you work with platforms other than Shopify?

No, this service is ONLY for Shopify entrepreneurs.
