Freelance Shopify developer
Shopify stores that sell on day one and stay easy to run on day 500.
Most of the stores in my portfolio run on Shopify: beauty brands, wholesale distributors, premium homeware, DTC watches. I build stores that match how your customers actually shop, and hand them over in a state your team can manage without calling a developer every week.
Sound familiar?
- Your theme looks fine but doesn't match how your customers shop.
- Every small change means waiting on a developer.
- Apps are piling up and slowing the store down.
- You sell wholesale too, and it's held together with spreadsheets.
What’s included
Store builds
Full Shopify setup from a blank account: theme, catalog structure, payments, shipping, taxes and launch checklist.
Theme customization
Custom sections, layouts and templates on top of a solid theme. A unique store without the fragility of a fully custom build.
B2B and wholesale
Gated wholesale programs, member pricing, registration flows and part-number-driven catalogs for professional buyers.
Large catalogs
Catalog builds and management at scale. I currently manage a 12,000+ SKU wholesale catalog with clean data and imagery.
Multi-market setup
Languages, currencies and markets configured properly, not bolted on with apps that fight each other.
App integration
Loyalty, reviews, subscriptions and Klaviyo email, integrated cleanly and only where they pay for themselves.
How it works
1
Understand the store
What you sell, who buys it, how they find you, and what is currently getting in the way.
2
Plan the catalog
Collections, navigation and product templates mapped before any design work starts.
3
Build and customize
Theme work, sections and integrations, with staging previews so you see progress, not surprises.
4
Launch and hand over
Tested checkout, documented setup, and a walkthrough so your team can run it independently.
What it costs
Most shopify development projects land between $250 and $2,000. You get a fixed written price before any work starts, and you can pay through Upwork escrow if you prefer.

Questions
Do you build custom themes or customize existing ones?
Usually a customized premium or free theme. It is faster, cheaper and easier to update. A fully custom theme only makes sense when the design truly can't be done otherwise, and I'll tell you if that's the case.
Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce or another platform?
Yes. Products, customers, order history and URL redirects are moved so you don't lose sales or rankings in the switch.
How long does a Shopify build take?
Theme customization projects typically take 2 to 4 weeks. Full builds with large catalogs or B2B features take longer; you get a written timeline before we start.
