Why Work with me
Most Shopify stores aren’t held back by one major problem. More often, it’s a combination of smaller weaknesses across structure, usability, messaging and customer flow.
My role is to identify those gaps and help shape a Shopify store that feels clearer, easier to use and commercially stronger over time.
Projects typically begin with research, discussion and strategic planning before moving into UX structure, visual design and Shopify development. Once live, I continue refining stores using real customer behaviour and performance data to improve usability, conversion and long-term growth.
I’ve worked with businesses ranging from independent brands through to established international companies, helping create Shopify stores that balance design, usability and commercial performance without unnecessary complexity.
Because every ecommerce business operates differently, I take a tailored approach to each project rather than forcing clients into a fixed formula or process.

How much does a shopify site cost?
Shopify Theme development
This is a tough question and one I can’t really answer without knowing a bit more about the spec. Shopify websites can cost from as little as £1000 to £10,000. It really does depend on the level of customisation, functionality and scale.
shopify Subscription costs
Shopify monthly subscription fees start at £19, and while the cost may seem high, you can rest easy knowing that you won’t need to worry about website security updates as long as you practice good password management and keep your account secure. Additionally, you won’t have to bear the expenses of website hosting or SSL certificates. When you factor in these benefits, the service offers excellent value for money and provides peace of mind knowing that your website and revenue stream are in capable hands.
Transaction costs
Again these are depending on your subscription but are inline with most banking transactions. You also can get access to your funds within 24 hours which is always handy for the cashflow!
