About Us
Hey I'm Nemo and I started Design Crate because I've been selling things online for 6 years on shopify and I've loved it - but, I kept running into the same problem.
Shopify's website options are functional but they're not always the prettiest or the most customisable.
So I did what alot of small business owners do - reach out to a web design agency to get a custom website made.
They quoted me $10,000.
Now I don't know about you but me & every small business owner I know could think of at least 10 better ways to spend that money.
So I chose the next best option.
Doing it myslef.
I learned to code & design website on shopify with one goal.
Creating a website that didn't look like every other 'default template' website you see on the internet - with real personality that helped build a brand around my business and let me charge more.
eventually I even started designing websites for friends aswell.
Issue is I didn't have the time to build websites and run my business.
but I didn't want to raise my prices since insanely priced cutoms websites where the reason I started this business in the first place.
So Instead I started creating website templates they could use instead.
They have all the best bits of a custom website:
✨Picking your own fonts, colours and image
✨Professional grade design
✨Makes the business appear more premium
Without the $10,000 price tag.
I got really positive feedback on my templates and knew that there where probably other small business owners out there with the same problem.
so I created Design Crate in hopes that no small business owner needs to learn how to code in shopify liquid again and spend more time on what actually matter-the business and its customers.
