Background

Shyre Bikes is a British kids’ bike brand from Shrewsbury, Shropshire — premium-but-affordable bikes for ages 18 months to thirteen, from first balance bikes through to proper trail machines. They came to us to relaunch the brand online with a store that felt as considered as the product itself: light, premium and photography-led — never babyish, and, importantly, never obviously a Shopify store.

The
Challenge

Kids’ bike sites tend to go one of two ways — nursery-bright and cluttered, or a generic drop-shipping template. Shyre needed neither. The brief was a store that reads premium to the parents who actually buy, makes choosing the right size effortless, and lets real photography do the selling — while staying fast and simple for a small team to run on Shopify.

Our
Approach

We designed and built Shyre a bespoke Shopify theme from the ground up — no page-builder, no off-the-shelf template.

A light, premium gallery

A cinematic, photography-led layout with confident type and a single restrained palette, so the bikes carry the page. Premium to parents, still full of energy for the kids who’ll ride them.

A colourway configurator

Seven colourways, selectable right on the product page with live swatch switching — the store’s accent colour follows whichever bike the child falls for.

A scroll-drawn Shropshire journey

A signature homepage section draws a route across an accurate Shropshire outline as you scroll, ending in a full-bleed video finale — real brand storytelling in place of stock filler.

Built to run itself

A Bike Finder, size guidance, add-ons and a free-delivery cart, all wired so Shyre can manage the whole store from Shopify without a developer on call.

Walking through
the story

The website isn’t a gimmick — it’s built to walk each visitor through the story of Shyre. From the bold, rolling-in studio video of the bike, into the scroll-stopping featherlight section, and on to the trail — how many will notice the exact co-ordinates, then Google them and find the corners of Shropshire the bikes are named after? From there it moves through the lifestyle photography, the reasons to buy, and a simple way to find the perfect size.
