Braun Design Co

About

Braun Design Co is a boutique Shopify Plus Partner based in Austin, Texas. Since 2016 the agency has designed, built, migrated and supported Shopify and Shopify Plus stores for brands that already sell, including KT Tape, Baby Trend, Derma E, 1928 Jewelry, Dorai and Saalt, with a focus on long-term development work, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, AI search and conversion optimization. The team is small on purpose: founder and principal Jason Braun leads every project directly, from the first call through launch and the work that comes after, so there are no handoffs.

The work covers custom Shopify theme design and development, Shopify Plus rebuilds, and migrations from Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce and custom platforms planned to keep SEO and avoid downtime. Braun Design builds clean code inside the theme's own architecture, with sections and settings a merchant's team can edit without a developer, and specializes in large catalogs with thousands of SKUs, complex variants, spec tables and compatibility data structured with Shopify metafields and metaobjects. Ongoing development retainers, app and tracking audits, Core Web Vitals speed work, email marketing, SEO and digital marketing round out the services.

Accessibility and AI search are standing specialties. Stores are audited by hand against WCAG 2.2 AA with keyboards and screen readers and the findings fixed, and product data, brand pages and content are structured so assistants like ChatGPT can read, verify and cite the store. Pricing is published openly: Starter builds on a premium theme from $5,000, Plus builds from $12,000, fully custom Premium builds from $20,000, migrations from $15,000 and monthly store support from $2,500, with small projects available from around $500.

For brands using Zigpoll, Braun Design can build post-purchase, exit-intent and on-site surveys into a new or existing Shopify theme as part of a build or retainer, and fold survey findings into the same conversion, accessibility and analytics work the team already runs, so what customers say shapes the next round of store improvements.
