Store Operators — Helsinki & remote

Premium Shopify storefronts. Built in a day.

From brand brief to live Shopify storefront — in one day. Designed, built, and shipped directly to your client's shop or your Partner Dashboard dev store. You keep the relationship.

For agencies losing premium DTC clients to timeline.

Your client signed for a refresh six weeks ago. Design is locked. Dev is queued behind two other launches. Meanwhile the founder is texting you weekly asking why the new site isn't live.

We finish the build your team doesn't have bandwidth to start. One day on the calendar, mockup-carbon-copy, pixel-faithful. You stay the agency of record. The client never knows we exist.

We do not replace your account team or your strategist. We collapse the production timeline.

Capacity, not creative.

The math.

Every build your team doesn't have to staff is an extra retainer you can carry. Six weeks of internal storefront work becomes one day of ours. Four storefronts a quarter at the same headcount instead of one. The margin moves before the headline ever does.

We do not compete with your design team. We do not compete with your strategy lead. We compete with the calendar — the one your senior dev keeps slipping, the one your account manager keeps re-quoting, the one your client keeps pinging you about on Friday afternoons.

Hand us the spec your team scoped. Take back the week.

Four steps, one build day.

  1. Brand intake.

    Send us everything you have on the brand and the products — brief, decks, brand guides, voice notes, references, existing storefront URL. The more context we get, the sharper the storefront.

  2. Mockup design + review.

    We design a premium storefront mockup grounded in deep competitor analysis and our research base of ecommerce, SEO and GEO best practices. You review and approve async — no calls required.

  3. Build day.

    One day of focused build. The theme is shipped straight into your client's shop or your Partner Dashboard dev store. We operate the build directly; no source-files-over-the-wall.

  4. Handoff.

    Live storefront, walkthrough Loom, handoff documentation, and 14 days of direct email lane. Continuing dev available as a separate engagement if you want it.

How a 1-day build is possible

Vibe is an agent-orchestrated build system. A Planner agent maps your brand and products into a market position and section taxonomy. A Builder agent ships pixel-faithful Liquid against an approved mockup. A Critic agent audits every output before you see it. The mockup itself is grounded in deep competitor research and a research base of ecommerce, SEO and GEO best practices.

What you're hiring today: the agent system, operated by the founder. What you'll be using in a few months: the same system, self-serve, billed monthly.

What we need from you

  • Everything you have on the brand

    Brand brief, mission, voice, decks, brand guides, founder interviews, reference URLs — anything you've collected. We pull signal from all of it. More context, sharper storefront.

  • Everything you have on the products

    Product list (CSV, Google Sheet, or existing Shopify URL — we pull what we need). Product images preferably hosted with URLs in the list; other transfer formats are case-by-case. Migrating from MyCashflow, WooCommerce, or another platform? We pull from there too — ask us.

  • Two Shopify apps installed

    Admin API app + Theme Access app, installed via your Partner Dashboard or your client's live shop. We send copy-paste instructions; you install and deliver the tokens via secure form.

  • Two review touchpoints

    Mockup approval and final approval. Both async, no calls required. Calls available on request.

What you get.

  • Pixel-faithful Shopify Online Store 2.0 theme — Horizon-based, fully native
  • Mockup-to-storefront fidelity verified across 3 viewports (375 / 768 / 1440)
  • Live storefront on your client's shop or your dev store — theme stays where it operates
  • Walkthrough Loom (15–25 min) plus handoff documentation — theme architecture, brand-asset map, future-build path
  • AI-readiness audit: Schema.org markup, semantic Liquid, agent-resolvable copy
  • Lighthouse 95+ on the four core categories — run-data committed
  • White-label by default. Your client never sees Store Operators
  • 14-day email lane for migration questions — direct to the operator, no support tier
  • Continuing dev available as a separate engagement — scope and price set per case

Inari Roasters homepage — Lake Inari, Finnish Lapland, with the headline ‘Coffee, roasted under Arctic light.’

Inari Roasters

Helsinki specialty coffee roastery. A roastery's storefront has to do two jobs at once: read like a long-form essay on origin and craft, and check out a 250g bag in under a minute. We built both in a single day against the locked Figma. Mockup-to-live within ±1px on hero, single-origin PDP, and cart — Horizon-native, agent-resolvable copy, ready for the next single-origin drop.

Hero / single-origin PDP / cart, mockup-carbon-copy at 375, 768, and 1440.

Why now.

Storefront builds are compressing. Shopify shipped Horizon last quarter. Agent-driven theme construction is now production-grade — the lift from mockup to live store has dropped from weeks to hours.

The agencies that learn to use this in 2026 will quote Q1 2027 client work at multiples of their current margin. The ones that don't will keep charging four-week-build rates while their clients shop the new operating model on the side.

We are not pitching AI as the feature. We are pitching the calendar shift that agent-build makes inevitable.

Engagement terms.

Per-build pricing. One storefront, one operator, one day of focused work. Most engagements are scoped on the discovery call and quoted on the spot.

For context: a Plus partner equivalent runs €15,000–€50,000 over 6–10 weeks. We are not competing on price. We are competing on calendar.

Pilot program — first 10 agencies.

€200 off the first 3 builds. For agencies that bring a real client engagement in the next six weeks. Open until the tenth pilot agency is onboarded.

Book a 30-min build consultation

Who you're working with.

Every build is run by one operator — Juuso Vermasheina. No project managers, no account executives, no handoff between brief and build. You will speak to the same person on the consultation, the build day, and the handoff. That is the only operating model that lets us hit one day.
