What I take on
No WordPress, no generic web design, no "we also do mobile apps." One platform, known deeply, which is why I can usually tell you within a day whether your problem is a two-hour job or a two-week one.
No app on the store does the job.
You trialled six. Each got 70% of the way there and charged monthly for the rest.
The setting you need doesn't exist.
Everyone else quotes a full redesign. I add the section, not the rebuild.
Shopify says twelve. The warehouse says three.
I build the pipeline that retries, logs, and tells you the moment it breaks.
They built it, it broke, they stopped replying.
I read other people's code for a living. You'll get an honest fix-or-rebuild call before you spend anything.
What I build with
Process
01
15 minutes, booked within 1 business day. You show me the store and the problem.
02
A written scope at a fixed price, usually within 48 hours. Nothing starts until you approve it.
03
Work happens on a dev store or a theme copy. Your live store keeps trading, untouched.
04
You test it yourself before it goes anywhere near production. Revisions in scope are included.
05
Code, docs and access are yours to keep. Plus 14 days of free bug support after launch.
Before you email
The practical stuff: what it costs, how long it takes, and what happens to your live store while I work.
Fair question, and the honest answer is that you own everything from day one. Code sits in your repo, apps sit under your Shopify Partner account, and every project ships with documentation written for the next developer, not for me. Nothing I build is locked to me being around.
If you need brand strategy, paid media and a twelve-person team, hire an agency. If you need one specific thing built properly on Shopify, an agency will route you through an account manager to a junior developer while charging you for both. You get me, at the price of one person.
Not until you've seen the work and signed off. Everything happens on a development store or a duplicated theme. Your live store keeps trading exactly as it is until the moment you approve the change.
Small theme work usually lands in the hundreds. A custom app is normally a few thousand, depending on scope. Every project is quoted as a fixed price in writing before a line of code is written, so the invoice at the end is the number you agreed at the start.
You get the free audit back within one business day. If we go ahead, most theme and integration work starts within the week. App builds are scheduled properly, because rushing an App Store submission is how you fail review twice.
Then send the problem, not the spec. Half the emails I get describe a symptom rather than a solution, and that's fine. Working out whether you need an app, a theme change, or nothing at all is part of the audit.
Not sure which one?
Send your store URL and describe the problem in plain English. I’ll tell you what it actually takes to solve. Sometimes the honest answer is a fifteen-minute fix you can do yourself, and I’ll say so.
