Shopify work
All projectsStores I've launched
Why me
Native Shopify first. Apps only when they pay.
Many agencies bolt 20 apps onto a store, make it slow, and lock you into their own dashboard. I do the opposite: metafields for editable content, theme code where the platform already does the job, and a stack you can maintain without me.
Apps I trust
- KlaviyoEmail & SMS
- Judge.meReviews
- LoopReturns
- RechargeSubscriptions
That covers what most DTC brands need. Anything else has to earn its monthly fee.

FAQ
Shopify questions, answered
Custom theme or a paid Shopify theme?
A custom theme gives you full control and the fastest store, but costs more upfront. A paid theme is cheaper and quicker to launch, but you inherit its bloat. I'll recommend one after seeing your design and scope.
Can you move my store from WooCommerce?
Yes. Products, customers, orders and 301 redirects are part of the project. I also migrate from BigCommerce, Magento, Wix and Squarespace.
Do you build on Online Store 2.0?
Yes, only 2.0: sections everywhere, metafields and app blocks. If you're on an older theme, I'll upgrade it or rebuild on Dawn.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes, including Checkout Extensibility, Flow and B2B. Below about $1M a month in revenue, Plus is usually overkill, and I'll tell you so.
How much does a Shopify store cost?
It depends on design, apps and how much data we migrate. You get one fixed price within 48 hours of a free call, before any work starts.
