Expected duration: 3 - 4 weeks We’re looking for an experienced UK-based Shopify developer/designer to help us finish, polish, and launch our website. We’re using Shopify (Dawn theme) and have been planning this brand for around a year — the website is one of the final pieces holding us back.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Needles & Thread is a small independent clothing brand focused on supporting and showcasing UK-based tattoo artists, tattoo culture, and tattoo art.
Each collaborating artist has their own page on the site, including a short bio, profile image, and their products. We currently have one confirmed artist (IndiaMaeTattoo), with more to be added once the site is live.
This project suits someone who understands creative, artist-led brands — although it will use a dropshipping service, it is not a generic dropshipping store.
WHAT WE NEED HELP WITH
1. Polishing and refining the Shopify Dawn theme (layout, spacing, flow) 2. Improving homepage structure and clarity 3. Building artist profile pages (photo, short bio, and their products) 4. Printful integration and configuration 5. Mobile integration, responsiveness, and general UX tidy-up 6. Working within the existing theme (no full rebrand) 7. Ensuring the site is fully set up end-to-end so we can go live and take payments (checkout, Printful, and basic store settings)
We know roughly what we want — we’re looking for someone experienced to execute it cleanly.
HAT WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR
1. Full redesign or rebrand 2. SEO packages or marketing add-ons 3. Custom app development 4. Anyone outside the UK 5. Anyone without proven Shopify experience 6. Anyone unfamiliar with tattoo culture or not willing to take the time to understand it
BUDGET, TIMELINE & WORKING STYLE
Budget: £300–£500 Fixed price preferred Start: ASAP Timeline: Ideally completed within a few weeks (flexible if communicated clearly) Shopify collaborator access provided Milestone check-ins preferred
We’re a small independent brand that works for the NHS in our day jobs, so budget awareness matters — but we value quality, experience, and clear communication.
TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE
1. Examples of Shopify websites you’ve worked on. 2. Confirmation that you’re UK-based. 3. Brief details of your experience with Printful or other dropshipping services. 4. Anything relevant that shows you understand artist-led or culture-driven brands.
Thanks — we’re keen to work with someone who gets this properly and can help us finally bring it to life. We would ideally build a lasting relationship with a team we can work with over the long term to support the site and develop as the band grows.
