The Challenge

Why most Shopify builds stall

Three patterns we kept seeing on the boutique-and-mid-market end of the Shopify ecosystem. Flash Accelerator was built to fix each one.

01

Six-month timelines kill momentum

Traditional agency builds take quarters. By the time the store launches, your seasonal moment has passed and the brief has changed twice. We compress the whole arc into 6–14 weeks.

02

Theme work alone costs $50k+

Most agencies quote theme development as the headline number — then it's another six months and another bill for the apps, the data layer, the email program. We bundle the full stack.

03

You don't own the keys

Agencies keep the API tokens, the hosting accounts, the database credentials. The day you switch vendors is the day you lose access. Flash Accelerator hands you everything on day one.

The Solution

A senior consultancy compressed into eight weeks

Flash Accelerator is the boutique-Shopify version of a "Tiger Team" engagement: one principal, a stacked toolchain, and a fixed-scope playbook we've run forty times.

Senior-only delivery

Albert leads every engagement. No junior pass-offs, no offshore mystery teams.

Six-week median build

From kick-off to ship. Compressed by tooling — Tokens Studio, Style Dictionary, Cursor + Shopify Dev MCP.

Full-stack scope

Theme, agents, data, infra, design system, docs — one team, one statement of work.

You own the keys

Anthropic, Fly.io, Neon, Resend, Shopify Partners — every account in your name.

What's Included

Four deliverables, one fixed scope

Each engagement ships these four pieces. Nothing here is a separate retainer or an upsell — it's the package.

01
Architecture

A theme your developers can actually edit

Component-based Horizon scaffold. SASS partials by section. Front-end Liquid + storefront JS. No vendor-locked page builders — every block is a real file.

Horizon theme SASS partials Liquid + JS Hydrogen-compatible
02
AI Agent Suite

Five Claude AI apps, embedded in your admin

Blog Agent, Shopping Agent, GA4 Agent, Email Agent, Personalization Engine. Each app installs as a Shopify embedded app — you control spend, you own the data.

03
Figma Design System

Tokens Studio + Style Dictionary

Every color, font, spacing token, and shadow value lives in one Figma file and one tokens.json. One command builds the CSS. Change a brand color in Figma, ship the rebuild that afternoon.

04
Documentation & Handover

A runbook for the day after we leave

Operational playbooks, deployment guides, on-call runbooks for each agent, agent-spend dashboards, and a recorded walkthrough of every system. Your team is productive on day one, not month three.

Deploy guide On-call runbooks Spend dashboard Recorded walkthrough
Client Ownership

You own 100% of the stack. Always.

Every account is created in your name, with your billing details, before we write a line of code. The day after handover, you can fire us and lose access to absolutely nothing. No vendor lock-in.

The first thing on the kick-off agenda is opening eight tabs in your browser and watching me create each account from your laptop. That's the policy.
