Shopify development in the UK
I build custom Shopify features, fix theme problems and connect the apps and systems your store needs. Development is billed at £35 an hour in 30-minute blocks, or as a fixed quote for larger projects. Small changes are usually done the same or next working day.

Frequently asked questions
How do I give you access to my store?
I send a collaborator request from my Shopify Partner account. You choose which permissions to allow and can remove access any time.
Can you fix something another developer built?
Yes. I'll review the code first and tell you honestly whether to fix or rebuild.
Do you build custom Shopify apps?
For most stores, a theme feature or existing app is cheaper. For custom apps, I'll scope the work and quote it separately.
What if the job takes longer than estimated?
I'll tell you before going over the estimate. You never pay for extra time you haven't agreed.
