IDEA are a London-based independent publisher, renowned bookshop, and fashion-adjacent brand, with a cult following (and some very good caps).
I worked with them to migrate from their 123 Reg store to a new custom Shopify build.
With 10,000 products, 350 Superbook articles, and a complex catalogue structure, this was a full-scale migration with a strong focus on preserving content and performance.

A Shopify homepage has a few seconds to answer one important question:
“Am I in the right place?”
A beautiful design helps, but the homepage also needs to guide the visitor toward the next step.
Here are 5 things I think every Shopify homepage should have:
1. A clear value proposition
Visitors should quickly understand what the brand sells and what makes it relevant to them.
2. A strong hero section
Use compelling imagery, a focused message, and a clear CTA instead of overwhelming visitors with too much information.
3. Easy product discovery
Featured products and collections should help shoppers find what they're looking for without having to search through the entire store.
4. Trust signals
Reviews, shipping information, return policies, guarantees, and secure checkout indicators can answer important questions before someone buys.
5. Clear navigation
Your navigation should make the store easy to explore. Customers shouldn't have to figure out where products or collections are hidden.
The goal isn't to put everything on the homepage.
It's to put the right things in the right order.
Good Shopify design isn't only about how the store looks. It's also about how easily someone can understand it and move through it.
