- Custom website design: DTC store UI/UX design with fully responsive desktop and mobile adaptation
- Custom feature development: Shopify / Shopline component development, dynamic interactions and bespoke pages

- Operations recommendations: continuously optimize on-site conversion and user experience
- Post-launch & maintenance: routine upkeep, feature/page updates, product uploads and adjustments
The build process (6-step SOP)
Himax follows a standardized SOP across three phases — strategy, development and operations — in six steps, making build outcomes predictable and repeatable. A standard DTC store can reach a basic launch in as little as 48 hours.
Shopify or Shopline?
Himax can custom-build on both. Shopify has a mature ecosystem with rich apps and payment channels, ideal for brands targeting mature markets like Europe and the US; Shopline has an edge in parts of Southeast Asia and in localized payment and logistics integration. Himax runs competitor and market analysis first, then recommends the right platform — never a one-size-fits-all answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a DTC store build take?
It depends on site complexity and the degree of custom features. Himax uses a standardized SOP (strategy → design → development → localization → operations) with 300+ templates, so a standard brand DTC store can reach a basic launch in as little as 48 hours; complex custom sites are scheduled to requirements.
Do you provide maintenance after the site is built?
Yes. Our build service includes post-launch and maintenance: routine issue fixes, new feature/page updates, and product uploads and adjustments — keeping your store stable over the long term.
