Shopify Store Development & Customisation
Need a Shopify expert who can build, customise and optimise your store? I develop high-converting Shopify stores with custom themes, Liquid templating and app integrations for e-commerce brands in the UK and US.
Platforms & technologies I build with
Shopify development is the process of building and customising online stores on Shopify using Liquid, its templating language. It covers custom themes, app integrations, checkout, and performance optimisation, the work that turns a standard Shopify store into a fast, on-brand, high-converting storefront.
Shopify services I offer
I work across the full Shopify lifecycle, from launching a brand-new store to redesigning and optimising an existing one. I've built e-commerce and booking-enabled stores such as Skate-O-Mania, handling everything from theme development to checkout and payment flows.
- Custom Shopify theme development
- Theme customisation & Liquid coding
- Store setup, products & collections
- Shopify app integration & configuration
- Speed & conversion rate optimisation
- Migration to Shopify from other platforms
Built for conversions
A beautiful store isn't enough, it has to sell. I focus on fast load times, clean mobile-first design, clear product pages and a frictionless checkout so more of your visitors become customers. Every build is SEO-ready so your products can rank on Google.
Why hire me for Shopify
With 4+ years of e-commerce development experience and a track record of delivered stores, I bring both the technical Liquid/theme skills and the eye for UX that drives sales. You deal directly with me, fast replies, transparent timelines and clean, maintainable code.
