A statewide California Shopify agency since 2006
SDG (Spiegel Design Group) has engineered commerce on Shopify since 2006, longer than almost any agency in California or anywhere. Headquartered in the state with a Northern California presence, we have built for some of the most recognized brands in the world while staying rooted in the market we call home.
That tenure matters because Shopify work has changed dramatically: from early theme builds to enterprise Shopify Plus, Hydrogen, Oxygen, B2B, Markets, POS, Checkout Extensibility, Functions, deep ERP/OMS/PIM integration, and now AI-ready commerce. We have grown with the platform rather than arriving after it became obvious.
Enterprise depth for California commerce teams
We are a Shopify Platinum Partner, the platform's highest tier, and a Shopify Build Award winner for our work on Glossier. The senior team that scopes your project is the team that builds it, no junior hand-offs. It is the depth behind work like our Barnes & Noble replatform, available to California brands north and south.
For California companies with serious technical requirements, that depth is often the difference between a nice storefront and a commerce system the business can actually run on. We handle the storefront, the migration, the data, the integrations, the analytics, and the operational handoff together.
Shopify delivery across California’s regions
Southern California
We support ecommerce and retail teams across Orange County, San Diego, the Inland Empire, and surrounding markets. For local office details, in-person collaboration, and work centered specifically in LA, visit our Los Angeles Shopify agency page.
Bay Area and Northern California
Our Northern California work supports product-led companies, DTC brands, and enterprise commerce teams across San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Oakland, San Jose, and the wider Bay Area. See our dedicated San Francisco Shopify agency practice.
Statewide and distributed teams
California projects do not need to fit one metro. We run discovery, architecture, design, development, and delivery in Pacific time for teams across the Central Coast, Central Valley, and distributed organizations throughout the state.
Across every region, our full-service scope includes UX/UI, theme and headless development, replatforming and migration, systems integration, SEO, CRO, accessibility, POS, and ongoing support. Explore our Shopify agency overview or full Shopify services.
For California startups, DTC brands, and enterprise retailers
California commerce teams are not all the same. A venture-backed DTC brand may need rapid iteration, CRO, subscription logic, and fast landing-page production. A Bay Area company may need a partner comfortable working with product and engineering leadership. A Southern California retailer may need POS, ERP, inventory, and omnichannel operations to behave as one system.
We size the engagement to the actual problem, from a focused feature or audit to a complete Shopify Plus replatform. The common thread is senior engineering, clear ownership, and work that is built to last.
Why work with a California Shopify partner
A California-based partner means real-time collaboration in Pacific time, in-person working sessions when they matter, and a team that understands the operating environment for West Coast product, retail, and ecommerce organizations. The reach is anything but local: we deliver for enterprise clients nationally and internationally.
