I offer customizations ranging from small to whole custom Shopify theme builds that reflect your brand's unique identity and vision, while using best practises that ensure improved conversion rates.

Shopify App Installation & Support
I build custom Shopify private apps that deliver exactly what your store needs, without the bloat and recurring costs of public apps. Private apps run on your own server with direct support and updates from me - meaning better speed, security, and control. From advanced checkout extensions to third-party integrations and automated workflows, I create streamlined solutions that enhance your store's functionality beyond Shopify's core features. This includes custom subscription systems, bundle builders, complex inventory management solutions, and any other unique functionality your business requires. Whether you need a custom checkout experience, automated inventory management, or unique store capabilities, I handle the full development cycle while providing ongoing support. Skip the generic, expensive public apps and get a tailored solution that grows with your business. If you're looking for a quicker solution, I also offer expert installation and configuration of existing public apps to get you up and running sooner.
