Shopify Developer Bournemouth, Dorset

I provide Shopify developer support for a wide range of services for new or existing Shopify stores including store setups, custom theme development and store migrations to the Shopify platform.

What Shopify Services Do I Offer?

Shopify Store Setup

I offer Shopify setup services to help you get your store up and running with no headaches. In terms of design and customisation, we can do as much or as little as you like. There are some fantastic ‘off the shelf’ themes that have plenty of customisation features. This can help to keep initial costs right down during the initial setup. I can assist you in adding your products, setting up your shipping profiles,

Shopify Theme Customisation

If you are looking for something a bit more stand-out and bespoke than the standard off-the-shelf themes that is where Shopify theme customisation comes into play. We can discuss ideas, wireframes, mock-up prototypes and build bespoke parts of your website like custom headers, footers, product pages and cart pages. One area that I am often asked to improve is the blog section Shopify with something a bit more dynamic than the standard text editor. Shopify allows you to do a lot of custom templating all the way up to the checkout and then that is restricted to only minor style changes unless you are a Shopify Plus customer.

Shopify Store Migrations

It can be daunting to make the move from one eCommerce platform to another, especially if your store is already established. If you don’t plan this and do it correctly then it can have a negative effect on your organic search rankings. If you have an online store in something like Wix, Squarespace or WooCommerce and are looking to make the move to Shopify I can assist in migrating your existing shop. I can help in moving over your products, customer and order data to Shopify. I can also assist with making sure your site structure remains intact and your search presence not impacted.

Shopify Theme Migration From V1 to V2

This often comes in the form of a theme upgrade, Shopify V1 themes are seen as vintage themes now and tend not to be supported by Shopify. Shopify offers a range of free and premium V2 themes that you can choose from. Once you have decided on a new V2 theme, we can customise the new theme to your liking and test it without interrupting the live store. Then once it is tested and you are happy we can launch the new theme.  This won’t affect any existing products, collections, discounts or shipping profiles you already have in place.

Shopify Support and Training Sessions

I will not only help you set up your store, but I can teach you how to write effective content, edit/promote products and even keep your store running quickly and efficiently. Once we are finished you will have the tools and knowledge to keep on top of your online store without having to pay 3rd parties or waste your time problem-solving issues. On method that clients find particularly useful is when we create Shopify training libraries for them to reference. Then when they have to make updates in the future they have a comprehensive set of resources to do that.

Why Choose Shopify as Your eCommerce Platform?

Shopify is one of the leading ecommerce platforms and for good reasons. Shopify has been around for over 10 years and hosts over a quarter of a million stores worldwide. The store itself is hosted by them, offering an incredibly easy-to-use content management system and a great set of selling tools. That said, it is not suitable for all stores, the first thing I will always do is sit down with you and talk through the pros and cons of each available platform. This will cover everything from pricing, features, support and scalability. You may be set on what platform you want to use but it is useful to know all the facts.

Because Shopify is hosted by them, very little technical assistance is needed in maintaining the site. This gives you more time to focus on stocking products and tracking sales. You can find out more about the features Shopify has to offer here.
