Shopify theme studio
Kova builds a small number of Shopify themes, slowly. Each one is designed for catalogs where the product has to be explained before it can be sold — and held to performance and accessibility numbers that are checked on every commit, not promised in marketing copy.
How we build
The JavaScript budget is checked by a pre-commit hook and a GitHub Action. If a change pushes the authored bundle past 16 KB minified, the build fails and the change does not ship. It is a ceiling, not an aspiration.
Contrast ratios, touch targets, keyboard paths, and focus order are audited against WCAG 2.1 AA before a section is considered finished. Every storefront path stays operable from the keyboard alone.
Anyone can ship another hero with a gradient. Our sections exist to carry substance — ingredient references, comparison matrices, documented evidence — because that is what a considered purchase actually needs.
Every section works with a plain Shopify catalog on the day you install it. Apps can extend a theme through app blocks, but they are never required to make one function.
The catalog
One theme at a time, finished properly. Kova would rather ship a single theme that passes review than four that nearly do.
For catalogs where the product needs explaining.
Evidence-led commerce. Ingredient references, comparison matrices, documented test results, and protocol timelines — the structure to substantiate a claim rather than just make one.
More in development. The next Kova theme is aimed at a different catalog shape entirely. Waitlist members hear about it first.
A confirmation now, then one email when our first theme goes live, with early-access pricing. No newsletter, no drip sequence, no sharing your address.
