# Custom template development for Shopware 6 > Custom Shopware 6 templates: your own theme instead of a kit, clean Twig and SCSS structure, update-safe and fast. Quelle / Source: https://stoneandwater.online/en/shopware-template-development.html # Custom template development. A theme that fits your brand rather than a kit. Built as a proper Shopware theme so updates keep working. [Discuss your project](https://stoneandwater.online/en/contact.html)[All Shopware services](https://stoneandwater.online/en/shopware.html) What we build ## From fine tuning to a *theme of your own*. Not every project needs the same thing. Sometimes a cleanly derived theme on top of the standard is enough, sometimes the storefront needs rethinking from the ground up. Own theme ### A proper Shopware theme The shop gets its own theme with its own Twig and SCSS tree. The standard is extended rather than overwritten, so Shopware updates do not turn into building sites. Adaptation ### Building on an existing theme A bought or grown theme can be developed further too. We first look at what is worth keeping and what is better replaced. Experiences ### Shopping Experiences Layouts and custom CMS elements that let your editors assemble pages themselves instead of calling for every change. Storefront parts ### Individual areas Product detail page, listing, basket or checkout reworked specifically, when only certain places fall short. How we work ## Update safety is *not optional*. The most common reason for expensive Shopware projects is a theme that overwrites the core. The next update breaks it and nobody remembers why. Inheritance ### Extend, do not copy Twig blocks are extended rather than replaced. Changes from the Shopware core survive and show up in your shop automatically. SCSS ### Variables instead of stray values Colours, spacing and type sizes come from one maintained set of variables. One change takes effect everywhere. Structure ### Readable for others We build so that another agency could carry on. That is a question of fairness, not of trust. Versioning ### Everything in Git Every change is traceable and reversible. Deploys run through a defined path, not an FTP upload. Engineering ## Fast even when it *looks good*. A theme that looks great and slows the shop down costs revenue. Speed is part of the design, not something bolted on afterwards. Loading ### Core Web Vitals in view Images with fixed dimensions against layout shift, critical CSS first, the rest later. Measured on the real shop, not an empty demo. Mobile ### Small screens first Most traffic arrives on a phone, so that is where we start rather than with a desktop draft. Accessibility ### Usable by everyone Contrast, keyboard operation and sensible labelling are part of the job. Under the European Accessibility Act this is a legal matter for many shops too. Caching ### Compatible with the HTTP cache Personalised content is solved so the page can still be cached. Working together ## Fixed price or *time and materials*. Which fits better depends on how clear the scope is. We say openly what we think makes sense. Fixed price ### When the scope is settled For defined projects with a clear target. You know the cost up front. Time and materials ### When things evolve For ongoing development where priorities shift as the project runs. Direct line ### No ticket maze You talk to the person who also does the development. With a small team that is simply faster. **Discuss a template project** Send us your shop URL and a rough idea. We will tell you honestly whether a custom theme is worth it or an adaptation will do.
