Studio
Founder-led. AI-assisted. Built properly.
Stocks Local is a UK headless Shopify studio led by Tyler Stocks. The core work is custom-coded Next.js storefronts powered by Shopify for premium product brands that need more freedom than a theme can give.
Philosophy · 01
Most agencies grow by volume. More clients, more revenue, less attention per project. Work passes to juniors. Briefs get misread. You become account number 47.
We built Stocks Local on the opposite principle. A deliberately small client list means every project gets the focus it deserves. You talk to the same person from first email to final invoice. Nothing gets lost.
That holds across every level of commitment. A short audit, a prototype sprint, and a full headless Shopify build get the same founder, the same taste, and the same standard.
The person you talk to is the person building your site.

Principles · 03
Small
A small client list by design.
We turn down work when we are at capacity. Not because we don't want the business. Taking on more than we can handle properly would mean letting clients down. Volume is the enemy of attention.
“One founder. One site at a time.”
Direct
One conversation, start to finish.
You have a direct line to the person doing the work. No account managers filtering feedback. No updates lost in a CRM. No junior relaying briefs they half-understood. You talk to Tyler. That is the service.
“The person you talk to is the person building your site.”
One standard
One lane. High standards.
The public direction is headless Shopify for premium product brands. Audits, prototype sprints, and full builds are different levels of commitment, but they all get the same design judgement, technical care, and launch responsibility.
“The scope changes. The standard does not.”
Fixed scope
What's in the offer is what ships.
Every offer has a fixed shape, written down. Builds include exactly what the build page says. Technical Care is for existing clients after launch. Backlinks, SEO retainers, GEO retainers, paid ads management, AI-generated UGC video, and monthly content packages sit outside the offer.
“Written scope first. No surprise invoices.”

The studio
Stocks Local is led by Tyler Stocks, building custom-coded headless Shopify storefronts for premium product brands. The deepest niche is wellness, recovery, fitness, lifestyle, and ecommerce brands where product education matters.
AI is part of the production engine: research, variation, coding assistance, QA, and speed. The strategy, taste, technical decisions, and launch responsibility stay with the studio, so the output feels custom rather than generated.
Tyler founded the studio in 2025 and is growing it carefully: founder-led delivery, AI-assisted production, and selective support around outreach and operations. UK base, working globally.
