Custom themes, apps, speed & migrations

Shopify Developer, Chester & Liverpool

Retailers in Liverpool and the Wirral come to me for their Shopify stores, on standard plans and on Shopify Plus.

  2. Shopify Development

You brief the Shopify developer who writes the code

You tell me what the store needs to do, I scope and build it, and you see the work as it's built, before it reaches your customers.

What I build

  • Design and custom themes

    Store designs drawn from your brand and your products, built as Online Store 2.0 themes whose sections your team can rearrange in the admin.

  • Performance fixes

    I audit slow stores against Google's Core Web Vitals, then tune the images, scripts and theme code that hold them back.

  • App integrations

    Shipping, inventory, accounting, finance, CRM and email tools connected to the store, so orders, stock and customer records land where your team already works.

  • Platform migrations

    Moves to Shopify from WooCommerce, Magento and bespoke ecommerce platforms, with product and customer data checked after the move.

Example Shopify homepage for a footwear brand, with a spring collection banner and women's and men's sections
Example Shopify product page for a luxury watch, with an image gallery, enquiry button and specification table
Example Shopify collection page for a watch retailer, with a brand banner, filters and a product grid

A Shopify Plus build for a luxury jeweller

  • Sections the marketing team owns. Every component, from hero banners to product carousels, is an Online Store 2.0 section. The jeweller's marketing team builds seasonal pages and campaigns from the admin without a developer.
  • Finance and CRM inside the store. V12 and Novuna finance options sit on the product page and at checkout. HubSpot records form submissions, finance applications and orders, so the sales team has one record for each customer.
  • Product pages built for expensive things. Responsive galleries, zoom and high-definition video, with care guides, warranty details and delivery options on the page, because a customer spending that much wants the detail before they decide.
  • Speed that holds under seasonal traffic. Cloudflare, image optimisation and script minimisation keep the store fast, and a QA cycle before launch tested it under load. The store has handled seasonal peaks without issues.

Shopify development for Liverpool retailers

A meeting in Liverpool is easy to arrange, and day to day, the work happens remotely.

Once the store is live, I look after it, with updates, fixes and training. That's ad hoc, or a retainer with agreed hours and response times.

Frequently asked questions

Updated

Do I need a new theme to make my store faster?

Usually not. Most slow stores are carrying too many apps, each loading its own scripts on every page. You get a list of which apps to remove, replace or keep, and the theme is only rebuilt if the code itself is the problem.

Can you migrate to Shopify without losing SEO?

Yes. I map the old URLs to the new ones, set up the redirects, carry over structured data and keep analytics and tracking running, so rankings and revenue survive the move.

Are you a Shopify agency in Liverpool?

I'm one senior Shopify developer. On the jeweller's store I led the development and worked alongside a design partner.

Which areas do you cover?

Liverpool, the Wirral, Chester and towns across Cheshire, among them Northwich, Winsford, Sandbach, Knutsford, Wilmslow, Runcorn and Ellesmere Port.
