Our Orange County Roots

An Orange County agency, trusted by local brands

We’re based in Fullerton, in the heart of Orange County, partnering with brands that help define Southern California’s lifestyle market, alongside clients across the U.S. and worldwide.

Who We Partner With

Built for brands at a growth inflection point

We work best with established and emerging lifestyle brands that have outgrown their current platform, marketing, or internal processes. If you’re scaling and your tooling and team can’t keep up with the ambition, that’s exactly the gap we’re built to close.

How we're using AI today with brands

AI is the lever that can improve speed, reduce cost, and increase quality at the same time, but only when it's applied to the right parts of the work. We use it to catch site-speed and conversion regressions before a big sale, surface audience segments hiding in customer data, and automate code review and QA so we ship features faster and with fewer bugs.

Discernment at the Human Layer
Where does AI actually fit into the work?
AI generates outputs, but it can't make decisions. Our team feeds it the context of what matters for your brand, prioritizes by effort and impact, and picks the right tools in a crowded ecosystem.
Spotting Issues Early
How do you keep your site from getting stale?
Sites are living systems. We use AI to monitor performance continuously, identify risk earlier, and surface what's actually impacting the site, so problems get addressed before they slow your brand down.
Speed, Cost, and Quality
What's the real upside of AI for our brand?
Applied to the right parts of the work, AI is the lever that improves speed, reduces cost, and increases quality at the same time. The trick is knowing where to point it, and where not to.

What got you here won't get you to the next stage

Growth gets messy fast

Is this you?
  • Systems and processes don't keep up
  • Tools start overlapping or breaking
  • What once felt simple becomes harder to manage

Teams aren't aligned on what matters most

Is this you?
  • Marketing pushes for growth
  • Development protects stability
  • Leadership expects both without slowing down

Too much to do, no clear order

Is this you?
  • Too many initiatives competing for attention
  • No clear sequencing of what should happen first
  • Teams either rush decisions or delay them entirely

Frequently Asked Questions

What does DYODE mean?

A stylized "diode." A diode is a two-terminal semiconductor that lets electrical current pass in one direction and blocks it in the other - the simplest possible decision in electronics, and the original mechanism behind every 1 and 0 a computer has ever processed. We named the agency after it because that's the job: pass the signal forward, block the noise. Read the full story →

So what does a DYODE actually do?

DYODE is a full-service eCommerce agency founded in 2016 by two former VPs of eCommerce from PacSun and Tilly's. We build, migrate, and operate e-commerce platforms - Shopify and Shopify Plus primarily, built on fast, native themes. Paid search. Conversion work. AI-assisted development and operational tooling. Retainer support that sits above or in place of an in-house dev team. Strategic consulting when the question is bigger than "fix this PDP."

What platforms does DYODE build on?

We're certified Shopify Plus and BigCommerce partners. We build fast, native Shopify themes on an optimized foundation, and integrate with popular solutions and apps, such as Klaviyo, Gorgias, Loop, and more.

What services does DYODE offer?

Strategy (audits, GTM plans, interim leadership), Development (site builds, migrations, CRO/UX), Digital Marketing (paid social, search, email/SMS, Amazon), and AI Services (AEO/GEO, agent buildouts, customer service automation).

How is DYODE different from other agencies?

We operate like an extension of your team, not a vendor. Because we were operators first - former eCommerce VPs who carried the P&L - we weigh the trade-offs between marketing, development, and operations the way you do, and push back when something won't move the number. Every strategy is backed by analytics and competitive intelligence, not guesswork.

Where is DYODE located?

Fullerton, California, in Orange County. We're Orange County-based and work with brands across the U.S. and worldwide.

What does a typical project team look like?

Every engagement is run by a dedicated team. Your primary contacts are a Strategist who acts as your business consultant and a Project Manager who keeps the work on track, supported by specialists across UX/UI design, front-end and back-end development, paid media, and conversion optimization. You get senior operators on the account, not a rotating cast of juniors.

How much does it cost to work with DYODE?

Fixed-scope packages start at $2,000 (Cart & Upsell Sprint) and run up to $14,995 for our largest buildouts. We also offer monthly retainers and bulk development hours. Book a free strategy call for a tailored estimate.

What industries does DYODE work with?

Fashion, beauty, consumer goods, food & beverage, health & wellness, gaming, furniture, and more. Clients include AG Jeans, Invisalign, Fashion Nova, Bandai Namco, GreenPan, and 200+ others.
