Decisions to make first: Catalog structure, brand requirements, page templates and the integrations needed to sell
Storefront redesign
An existing store that needs clearer navigation, stronger product presentation or a more useful mobile experience
Decisions to make first: What is working, where buyers struggle and which existing content and URLs must be preserved
Theme customization
Specific design or functionality changes within the current storefront
Decisions to make first: The templates affected, merchant editing requirements and the limits of the existing theme
The scope should make clear what is design, what requires development and what depends on a third-party service. For theme-focused work, see our BigCommerce Stencil customization services.

A useful design makes important buying tasks easier to understand. Can a customer find the right department? Recognize the brand they need? Compare relevant product details? Use the store comfortably on a phone?
Those questions guide decisions about category structure, product templates, menus, search and calls to action. They also help your team review the design against actual catalog and customer needs.
JMAC Supply storefront design from MAK Digital’s published project.
JMAC Supply: brand and catalog navigation
JMAC Supply's published project describes a Volusion-to-BigCommerce migration and redesign for a security-equipment catalog. The scope included home, category, product and brand templates, with mobile navigation and a Featured Brands section.
For customers who already know the brand they need, the design provided a direct route into the catalog. The existing case includes before-and-after views of the home, category and product pages.

Pool & Hot Tub Depot: product discovery and purchasing flows
The published BigCommerce case documents work on navigation, product recommendations, a sticky Add to Cart component and pickup information. These examples show how storefront changes can address specific purchasing tasks rather than change appearance alone.
Your catalog, brand, customer tasks, current storefront and integration needs
Completion gate: Agreed priorities and a defined project scope
Navigation and page structure
How buyers move between departments, categories, brands and products
Completion gate: A reviewed structure using representative catalog examples
Page designs
Home, category, product and other templates included in the project
Completion gate: Approved layouts with real or representative content
Mobile layouts and interaction states
Menus, filters, product details and purchasing actions on smaller screens
Completion gate: Agreed behavior for the flows and devices in scope
Merchant editing requirements
The content and merchandising changes your team expects to make
Completion gate: A clear distinction between editable content and work that needs a developer
Implementation handoff and QA
How the approved design will be built and checked
Completion gate: Agreed templates, dependencies and acceptance checks
SEO handoff
Existing page purpose, important URLs, content and planned architecture changes
Completion gate: Documented requirements and validation responsibilities before launch
The agreed scope determines which templates and checks are included. A focused theme update does not need the same deliverables as a full migration and redesign.
Redesign with your existing store in mind
An established store has more to preserve than its logo. Customers may depend on familiar navigation, staff may rely on existing integrations, and important pages may already receive organic search traffic.
Before changing the storefront, identify the content, URLs and business workflows that need to carry forward. Review new designs with representative products and categories, and define how the implementation will be tested.
Some design requirements need custom engineering or help from an integration provider. We separate those dependencies in the scope so your team understands what the storefront project requires.

Quick answers to the questions we hear most about this service.
What is BigCommerce web design?
BigCommerce web design defines the layout, navigation, visual presentation and interactions of a storefront running on BigCommerce. Development turns those designs into working templates and features. A project may include both, but the scope should distinguish the deliverables.
Do I need a custom design or a theme update?
A theme update may suit a store with a useful structure that needs specific changes. A wider redesign may be appropriate when the catalog, brand or buying experience has changed. Start with the problems you need to solve rather than assuming every store needs a complete rebuild.
Can you redesign an existing BigCommerce store?
Yes. Share your current store, the pages or tasks that need attention and any requirements that must remain. The review establishes whether the work is a focused customization or a broader redesign.
Can the design include mobile layouts?
Mobile layouts and the behavior of key menus, product information and purchasing actions should be defined in the design scope. Agree on the templates and flows to review before implementation begins.
Will a redesign change my URLs?
It does not automatically require a URL change. If the project calls for different URLs or architecture, include content mapping, redirects and SEO validation in the scope before making those changes.
What information do you need for a quote?
Send your store URL, the type of project, the templates you want to change, your main catalog challenges and any essential integrations. Brand materials, examples and an existing requirements document can help clarify the work.
