    Freelance Support for Agencies

Who I work with

Most of my work comes from teams that already know what good looks like. They just need a developer who can deliver it.

  • Shopify brands

    Established stores that need theme work done properly, without the agency overhead.

  • DTC ecommerce businesses

    Brands shipping fast and testing often, who need a developer who keeps pace.

  • Shopify agencies

    Agencies that need dependable freelance development capacity for client projects.

  • Design studios

    Studios with strong Figma designs that deserve an equally strong Shopify build.

  • Marketing & CRO teams

    Teams running experiments who need test variants built quickly and correctly.

  • In-house ecommerce teams

    Existing teams that need extra senior capacity for a sprint, project or backlog.

Why work with me

Plain reasons, not promises.

  • 01

    Senior experience

    Years of Shopify-specific development across themes, Plus stores and complex builds. I've seen the edge cases.

  • 02

    Clean, maintainable code

    Liquid, JavaScript and CSS written so the next developer, or your team, can pick it up without a guided tour.

  • 03

    Attention to detail

    Builds that match the design, work on real devices, and handle the awkward states designers forget about.

  • 04

    Clear communication

    Straight answers, realistic estimates, and updates you don't have to chase.

  • 05

    Reliable delivery

    Scoped properly, built carefully, shipped when I said it would be.

  • 06

    Ecommerce, not just code

    I understand conversion, merchandising and how stores actually make money, so I'll flag problems, not just build tickets.

How a project works

Simple and predictable, whether it's a two-day fix or a full theme build.

  1. Step 1

    Brief

    Tell me what you need. A short call or a written brief, whatever you have is enough to start.

  2. Step 2

    Estimate

    You get a clear scope, timeline and cost. No vague day rates, no surprises later.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    I build it, keep you updated, and flag anything that needs a decision early, not at the deadline.

  4. Step 4

    Launch & support

    Tested, launched and handed over properly. Ongoing support available if you want it.

Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers. Anything else, just ask.

What does a freelance Shopify developer do?

A freelance Shopify developer builds and improves Shopify stores directly for brands, or as support for agencies, theme development, custom sections, integrations, performance work and CRO builds, without agency overhead.

Do you work with Shopify agencies?

Yes. A good part of my work is white-label development for agencies and studios, building from your designs, to your timeline, under your brand. You manage the client, I handle the build.

Can you build custom Shopify sections?

Yes. I build bespoke sections and blocks that behave like native theme features, fully configurable in the theme editor, so your team can manage content without touching code or installing another app.

Can you work from Figma designs?

Yes. I build accurate, responsive Shopify themes straight from Figma, delivered as flexible, reusable sections rather than rigid one-off pages, so the design stays editable after launch.

Do you work with Shopify Plus?

Yes. I support Plus stores with checkout extensibility, B2B, multi-store setups and migration work, alongside the usual theme and section development.

Can you improve an existing Shopify theme?

Yes. I regularly pick up existing themes for performance fixes, Core Web Vitals work, code cleanup and new features, without a full rebuild where one isn't needed.

Do you work with Klaviyo and third-party integrations?

Yes. I regularly work with Klaviyo, Rebuy Smart Cart, and similar tools at the code level, fixing broken event tracking, migrating legacy implementations to App Blocks, resolving third-party conflicts, and getting integrations working the way they were supposed to out of the box.

Do you offer ongoing Shopify support?

Yes. Many clients keep me on for ongoing development, whether that's a regular block of hours, CRO test builds, or being on hand for fixes and new sections as they're needed.

Are you based in the UK?

Yes. I'm based in Northern Ireland and work with clients across the UK and further afield. Remote work is the norm, so location isn't a barrier.

Need help with a Shopify build or theme improvement?

Tell me what you're working on. I'll come back with honest advice and a clear estimate, usually within one working day.
