"I took a Shopify course before and it was so confusing! With you guys I found clarity."
If you're on the fence I'd say, yessssss do it! It's literally one of the best investments I did for my business and it paid off with the first project.
Since taking the course I feel super confident with Shopify, like I know what I'm talking about! Honestly, I loved the experience. I have ADHD and retaining very technical-specific info is complicated, so the fact that I can jump back to the tutorials is amazing. Thank you very much for everything. You are f*cking amazing.
"You won't regret this investment! You are going to learn so much, feel so supported, and have the opportunity to grow your business"
I began the course with very little experience in Shopify, but after working through it for a month, I now feel confident in my web design skills, Shopify knowledge to answer client queries, and how to provide a smooth process and service for my clients.
The videos were so clear and easy to follow. Chloe and Hana provide so much personalised support by answering questions in the Discord community, as well as via email. I'm so appreciative of their help and could not recommend their course enough! You are going to learn so much from this course, feel so supported, and have the opportunity to grow your business and become a better designer/developer. You won't regret this investment!
“This course was the best investment I made in my professional learning last year.”
"The curriculum is so well thought out. Hana and Chloe are so generous with their knowledge, and the lessons are easy to understand. You can even put your new knowledge into practice with the student projects, and get feedback in the community. They truly thought of everything, all learning styles are supported, and there’s a ton of support! Since taking the course I’ve picked up a very lucrative retainer client who sees me as a Shopify expert. I would highly recommend this course to any designer who is ready to uplevel their Shopify knowledge.”
"The course opened my eyes to how I could produce e-commerce stores that would actually match my design vision."
"I took Chloe and Hana’s course because the last time I did a shopify project I felt stuck and limited to the theme. With their course it opened my eyes up to how I could produce e-commerce stores that would actually match the design vision I had in mind. They share their own tried and tested through experience methodology of working with clients to design and build their dream shopify store. Can’t wait to wow some clients with what I’ve learnt through the course. 💕🙌"
“It’s totally worth the investment! I have been able to increase my prices and plan to increase them even further.”
"I want to tell you it’s totally worth the investment! This course is the shortcut you need to get started on Shopify without the hundreds of hours of research. The videos are so detailed and there are tons of resources that have been invaluable. Before I took the course I had a good grasp about Shopify and I had a process in place, but the course made me realize the things I was missing and I can now customize stores even more with code. I have been able to increase my prices and plan to increase them even further!"
“I have been able to confidently increase my prices to 4 figures and deliver a standout customer experience.”
"I loved how thorough the course was. It was eye-opening to understand the onboarding process and prep work needed to be done to deliver a standout customer experience. Overall my business has definitely grown, I have been able to confidently increase my prices to 4 figures and secure clients who value that price. I can now confidently educate my audience on what makes a great website rather than showing how pretty I can design websites. In order to stand out you have to know and understand the strategy that goes into creating a website.
There’s a lot of technicalities to web design such as custom coding and themes so if you want to position yourself as a standout designer, then definitely invest in the course."

This Shopify web design course is for brand designers and web designers who want to bring their designs to life on Shopify and have a stellar client experience. It was created for designers specifically which means we focus on teaching you the Shopify skills you actually want and need.
Our course is suitable for both beginners and experienced designers who want to level-up on Shopify and learn Shopify coding, teaching them to do this on any theme in the Shopify theme store. You’ll come out of this course with 3+ portfolio pieces so that you’re able to show the Shopify expert you are before even having your first Shopify client. -
No coding knowledge is required as we will go through the fundamentals of HTML, CSS, and Liquid (Shopify’s coding language). However, coming into the course with some CSS knowledge will allow you to achieve the results you want faster. The focus is mainly on Shopify theme code and how to easily customize it.
-
Once you know HTML and CSS, learning Liquid is pretty straightforward. It’s written in more plain English than other coding languages which makes it more intuitive. Once you learn some of it, you’ll be able to edit themes without limits. We’ll teach you how to edit existing sections, create your own sections and so much more! Don’t be intimidated, we’ll be right there with you.
-
We recommend dedicating at least 5 hours weekly to the course for 3 months for the Expert Track. The Accelerator Track is faster to work through as it doesn't include coding which can take more time to absorb.
How long it will take you depends on your current knowledge. Learning something for the first time, especially code, takes a long time at the beginning but with practice, you’ll be working 20x faster than the first time you did it. You can see a suggested timeline for the course here. -
Modules 1-4 will prepare you to have a client discovery class, scope a project, design for Shopify and build no-code stores. You’ll have 3 portfolio pieces at this point and be ready to confidently take on Shopify clients.
We recommend completing the first half of the course over 5-6 weeks so you can start offering your new service as soon as possible.
Modules 5-8 will allow you to advance your coding skills to customize themes with code. After this, you’ll be prepared to ditch the cookie-cutter templates and offer semi-custom solutions to your clients.
The course is self paced, so it’s up to you how quickly you complete it. -
Pricing is very subjective and depends on a huge variety of factors (project scope, expertise, client process, industry, demand, location, etc.). However, a designer offering Shopify design and custom build can begin their project pricing at $10,000 USD. We’ll teach you the skills you need to get there, and how to feel confident charging those amounts.
-
If you’re completely new to web design and freelancing, the Accelerator Track might be best to start with. This will give you all the skills to start your web design business offering Shopify as a services. Later, if you want to expand your skillset, you can upgrade from Accelerator at any time — just pay the difference.
If you already have experience as a web designer or even on Shopify, the Expert track is going to teach you how to do everything the right way (what we’ve learned after working with 100+ clients on Shopify). It’ll also help you offer more custom web design solutions with the power of code. -
Our course community is on Discord (very similar to Slack). Here we’re available to answer any questions that come up about the course material, or your own projects. We respond with a written or recorded response, and your fellow course members often chime in too with their own experiences. In the Discord we’ve got channels to discuss website inspo, our wins, job opportunities, Shopify news, and more. The community is what you help make it!
Our monthly groups calls are catchup where you can come just to chat about how business is going, hear what others are up to, or ask questions. There’s no pressure to come with a specific question — just show up and join in on the conversation!
-
Yes! We’re happy to give you constructive feedback on your Shopify portfolio projects, client projects, or even your own website as a freelancer or studio. We’ll record a video explaining our feedback, or we can talk through it during one of our course calls.
-
No, they don't. Our course focuses on giving you the skills to run a successful web design business offering Shopify as a service. But we do teach you the skills to build your own sections if you want to! In the course, you'll build two custom sections that you can use in any store.
Each of our sections in the Luna store take hours upon hours of design, testing, and iterations before we offer them for sale. They are created to save you time and money in your client projects, even as a skilled designer or developer. -
1. Two experts. Our Shopify web design course has two experts - one for design and the client process, the other for development. This means you get expert knowledge from both specialisms, no other course covers each area so in depth. Both experts continue working with clients today, keeping them up to date with the industry, so we can share new insights and opportunities with students.
2. We focus on maximizing profit. Our whole client process begins with confidently quoting what you’re worth, then following a process that will save you HOURS of work, allow you to avoid hiring a developer, and work quickly and efficiently so that you create amazing results for your client in the least time possible, therefore maximizing your profit!
3. We teach you the things you NEED to know to create the most common designs. Having built so many stores, we know what's requested again and again and have put together 20+ mini coding tutorials on how to create specific theme customizations, on any theme. We focus on teaching highly requested skills that will transfer to any theme or project.
4. We live and breathe e-commerce.
Still working in the industry, we’re constantly updating ourselves on consumer trends, marketing ideas, analytics, entrepreneurship and more, and we share these things with our students. We believe that to provide the best service to your customers, you should be aware of the issues and opportunities in ecommerce. We say that our course makes you a Shopify expert, and with that comes an e-commerce obsession.
Our goal is to help you become a Shopify expert. -
To us, a custom store means starting with a Shopify theme as a base for the layout and functionality, and using code to enhance that design and create flexibility to meet the unique needs of a brand! Starting with an existing theme gives us the skeleton to work with and customizing with code gives us design freedom.
-
No, we do not. Themes are powerful and a LOT of work goes into them. One theme does NOT fit every project and it’s unnecessary to learn how to build themes from scratch because there are so many amazing ones on offer with powerful features that would take too long to code. We teach you how to select the best theme for your project and edit it to what you want so it looks totally custom built.
-
We will be demonstrating our design process on Adobe XD which requires a paid subscription, however, you may use the free version of Figma to follow along the course. Everything else will be done right on Shopify although we will tell you some of our favorite free tools to use.
-
No! All lessons will be taught with Dawn, Shopify's free theme, but you'll learn the skills to customize any premium theme.
-
No. We'll show you how to create a Shopify Partner account that allows you to create unlimited development stores to practice and build portfolio pieces on.
-
All course members will have 30% off the unlimited license for all custom Shopify templates at lunatemplates.co for one year. You’ll receive a discount code that can be applied at checkout.
-
We do not teach using Theme Kit, Shopify CLI or Git as these are developer tools, and the course is created for designers. You can create incredible stores and build quickly, without needing to use these tools.
