What you get with a Colchester-based Shopify expert
Hiring a local Shopify expert means faster decisions, real accountability and someone you can actually meet if you need to. RIOT is a small independent studio based on North Hill in Colchester — every project is run by senior people who live and work in the area.
We cover the whole of Essex, Suffolk and the East of England from one studio. Most kickoffs happen in person; the rest of the work runs remote so we can keep your bill sensible.

Common questions
Do you build from scratch or customise a theme?
Both. For most brands a well-customised premium theme (Impulse, Prestige, Broadcast) gives 90% of the value at 40% of the cost. For distinctive brands we build fully custom Shopify 2.0 themes.
Can you speed up my slow store?
Yes — Core Web Vitals audits are one of our most-booked services. We usually clear a 90+ Lighthouse score after image, script and theme cleanup.
Are you a Shopify Partner?
Yes, we're a registered Shopify Partner and Expert.
