What studiokalex builds for online stores
studiokalex designs and builds Shopify stores and headless storefronts for brands in India and abroad. A Shopify store keeps your team in Shopify's admin for products, orders and stock; a headless storefront puts a custom Next.js front end on the same Shopify back end when the design or speed needs more than a theme allows.
Indian stores get UPI and Razorpay checkout. Every store gets technical SEO, with Google Search Console and Google Analytics set up on your domain from launch.
Shopify theme or headless: which one you need
Most stores should start on Shopify with a custom theme. It launches sooner, your team already knows the admin, and apps cover payments, shipping and reviews.
Go headless when the storefront itself has to do more: heavy motion or 3D on product pages, content-led shopping, or a speed target a theme can't reach. A headless store reads products and carts through Shopify's Storefront API, so your team still runs products, orders and stock in Shopify. It costs more to build and needs a developer for changes outside the CMS, which is why we only recommend it when the store needs it.

Start with Shopify and a custom theme unless you have a reason not to: it launches sooner, your team already knows the admin, and apps cover payments, shipping and reviews. Go headless when the storefront itself has to do more: heavy motion or 3D on product pages, content-led shopping, or a speed target a theme can't reach.
Yes. We map every product, collection and page URL that has rankings or links to its new address with permanent redirects, carry over titles and structured data, and watch Search Console after launch.
Yes, where it helps. A real-time viewer lets them turn and zoom the product, built in Three.js on a model we make in Blender. It's worth it for products people want to inspect closely, such as furniture, footwear or electronics.
