Images are sized for each screen and load only when they are needed. Scripts wait until the page is readable, so shoppers see products sooner.
XM-Five Studio is an independent theme studio in Australia. We design and engineer storefronts that load fast, work for every shopper and stay simple for merchants to edit.
Every theme we make follows Shopify's Theme Store requirements from the first line of code.
Images are sized for each screen and load only when they are needed. Scripts wait until the page is readable, so shoppers see products sooner.
Every menu, panel and form works with a keyboard and a screen reader, with clear focus states. Motion switches off for shoppers who ask their device to reduce it.
Sections and blocks on every page, with settings named in plain language. Merchants change layouts, colours and content in the theme editor, with no code.
Layouts are designed for the phone before the desktop: swipeable rows, large touch targets and an add-to-cart button that stays in reach.
Online Store 2.0 templates, Shopify's own search, filters and recommendations, and code that passes Shopify's Theme Check with no offences.
Written documentation for every setting, and a support form answered within two business days.
Our first theme
In development for the Shopify Theme Store. One theme, three finished styles.

Opening search shows your best sellers and newest products straight away, with labels, swatches and ratings. Results update as the shopper types.

Each post opens in a pop-up beside the products tagged in it, ready to add to the bag. Shoppers go from inspiration to cart without leaving the page.

The header stays with the shopper and softly blurs the page behind it. Product cards carry labels such as Sale, Pre-order and Back in stock, plus swatches and ratings.

Adding a product slides the bag in over a blurred page. It confirms free shipping, suggests pieces to pair, and leads to checkout in one tap.

Matching products sit right on the product page, each with its own add button. It raises the order value without sending the shopper away.

One pop-up holds a chart for every category, in tabs, and opens on the right one for the product being viewed. Most themes offer a single plain table.
Most setup questions are answered in the documentation. For anything else, send a request.
