I build Custom Shopify stores

Shopify™ is a hosted e-commerce platform built for one job: selling online. Products, inventory, checkout, payments, shipping, and taxes are all managed in one place, and Shopify takes care of the hosting and security.

Not sure if Shopify™ suits what you sell? Tell me about your products and how you take orders today, and I will give you a straight answer on whether it fits.

Every eligible store I build can include Shop Pay™, Shopify's one-tap checkout. Returning customers skip the forms and confirm an order with a single code, which means fewer abandoned carts.

Shopify Web Development Services

Unique Themes

A theme written for your store alone, shaped by your products and your brand, not by a template thousands of other shops share.

Sections for Pages

There's no need to call a developer every time you want a new page. Custom sections let you build new pages in the theme editor and have them look the way you want.

Customize a Theme

Happy with the theme you bought but stuck on the details? I rework layouts, add features, and tidy the code so it does what you need.

Speed

A lot of Shopify™ stores are slow because of too many apps and bloated themes. Fast loading times matter for your customers and SEO.

Migrations

Moving from WooCommerce, Squarespace, or another platform? I can move your products, customers, and content, and set up redirects so you keep your search rankings.

How to Use

Before launch, I walk you and your team through the Shopify™ admin: adding products, filling orders, and editing pages on your own.

Every Shopify Store is Custom

Here is what you get:
  • A theme of your own. Product pages, collections, and the cart are drawn for what you sell and how your customers shop.
  • Phone first. Most shoppers arrive on a phone, so the store is designed for a thumb before it is scaled up to a desktop.
  • Building blocks. Reusable sections let you assemble a sale page or a new collection.
  • A lean build. Light theme code, compressed images.
  • A private preview. The work happens on an unpublished theme, so customers see nothing until you say it is ready.
  • A complete handover. Domain, payments, shipping rates, and taxes are connected and tested with real orders before the switch.

Work with a Shopify Expert

Your store is not handed off to a junior developer or an outside contractor. One person designs it, builds it, and launches it: me. You get a direct line to the developer who knows every section of your theme, before launch and long after.

I keep my client list short on purpose. A small roster means I know your products, your customers, and your busy seasons, and your store is never waiting in a queue behind someone else's.

Shoppers buy when nothing gets in the way.

Faster Checkout with Shop Pay™

One tap for returning customers

Shop Pay™ is Shopify's accelerated checkout, available to stores that use Shopify Payments. A shopper saves their email, shipping address, and payment details once, then confirms later orders with a short code sent to their phone. There are no forms to fill in again, on your store or on any other store that offers it.

The fewer fields a customer has to type on a phone, the fewer carts get left behind. I set up Shop Pay™ on every store that is eligible, place the button where shoppers expect it on product pages and in the cart, and test it with real orders before launch.

Shop Pay Setup
  • Shopify Payments Activation
  • Express Checkout Buttons
  • Product Page and Cart Placement
  • Installments, Where Eligible
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • Test Orders Before Launch

How a Shopify Project Works

1. Consultation

A call about what you sell, who buys it, and how orders reach you now. If another platform would serve you better, you will hear that from me first.

2. Proposal

You receive a written scope and an estimated cost for the store. Anything you add later is tracked by the hour, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

3. Design

I design the home page, a product page, a collection page, and the cart. Development waits until you have signed off on how they look.

4. Development

The approved designs become a working theme, hidden from the public, with a preview link you can open at any point.

5. Testing

I place test orders, try every payment method, confirm shipping and tax amounts, and check the store on real phones and browsers.

6. Launch

The theme is published, the domain is pointed, and I watch orders and analytics through the opening weeks to catch anything unexpected.

Support After Launch

There is no maintenance plan to sign. A finished Shopify™ store does not need a developer every month, so you are not billed as if it does.

Help is there when you want it. Send me the request, whether it is a new section, a seasonal redesign, an app to connect, or a bug to chase down, and I bill only the hours it takes. Bigger jobs are estimated up front.

Your Store Is Yours

The store lives in your own Shopify™ account, under your name, and you pay Shopify directly for the plan. The theme code, product catalog, customer list, and domain belong to you, with or without me.

Response Times

A store that cannot take orders is losing money, so problems at checkout go to the front of the line. Your message comes straight to me, not to a help desk.

  • Store emergencies: checkout failures, theme errors, or products that will not add to the cart. I reply within a few hours on business days.
  • Routine requests: copy edits, image swaps, and minor adjustments. Expect an answer the same day and the change live within a day or two.
  • Bigger additions: new functionality or a redesign is estimated first, then booked into the calendar.

The Benefits of Using Shopify

Easy to Use

Adding products, updating content, and managing orders is simple. Most store owners are comfortable in the admin within a day.

Hosting Included

Shopify™ hosts your store. There are no servers to manage, no core updates to run, and no security patches to install.

Secure Checkout

Checkout and payments run on Shopify's own PCI compliant system, with Shop Pay™, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and major credit cards supported.

Apps and Integrations

Klaviyo, Mailchimp, QuickBooks, ShipStation, and thousands of other apps connect to Shopify™.

Sell Everywhere

Sell on your website, in person with Shopify POS, and on channels like Instagram, Facebook, and Google from one inventory.

Built to Scale

The same platform runs a store with ten products and a store with ten thousand, so you will not outgrow it.
