Founded in 2017, Archetype Themes is the brainchild of former Shopify designer Paul Pritchard and developer Carson Shold.
Back in 2013, Paul and Carson kickstarted the first team in charge of themes at Shopify. Together, they created Debut, Brooklyn and all the other free themes available on Shopify until 2016
Four years later, their passion for customer-focused design and technology led them to create Archetype Themes, a Canadian company that would revolutionize the industry and redefine premium ecommerce experiences. Their goal was simple— make high-end, flexible, fully-featured themes accessible to anyone starting a business. The rest is history.
Since then, Archetype Themes has evolved into the leader in Shopify premium themes, offering some of the best Shopify themes while being committed to providing the latest features and capabilities that enable anyone to create a professional online presence, and to providing the best customer support.
