Freelance Shopify developer Shopify stores that look premium and sell while you sleep.

Custom Shopify design and development for D2C brands. Theme customisation, Online Store 2.0 sections, apps and speed, so the store matches the product.

The short answer

What does a Shopify developer do?

A Shopify developer designs, builds and customises Shopify stores. That covers theme work in Liquid and Online Store 2.0 sections, product, collection and landing pages, apps for reviews, subscriptions and upsells, speed optimisation, and payments, shipping and analytics setup. The goal is a fast, on-brand store built to convert.

What you get

From a first store to a full redesign, built on Shopify best practice and tuned for conversion.

Theme customisation

Product pages that convert

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Still curious? Email me. I read and answer every message myself.

How much does a Shopify store cost?

It depends on whether you need a customised theme or a fully custom design, how many templates you need and which apps you use. You get a fixed written quote after a short call.

Should I use a Shopify theme or a custom design?

A well-chosen theme, customised properly, is a great start for new brands. A custom design makes sense once you have traction and want to stand apart. I can help with both, and with knowing when to switch.

Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce to Shopify?

Yes. I move products, customers and order history, rebuild your design and set up 301 redirects so you keep your rankings.

Do you work with Shopify Plus?

Yes, including checkout extensibility, Shopify Functions and B2B features, depending on your plan.

Can you improve my store’s conversion rate?

Yes, that’s exactly what my Shopify CRO service does. It starts with an audit, then prioritised fixes and A/B tests.
