Shopify Plus Developer
The feature stays, and the app's monthly bill and extra code go. Apps that earn their place, like email or loyalty, stay. I measure the page before and after.

A store I worked on
Before
Press the button to watch the numbers change.
Measured in GTmetrix, a page-speed testing tool, one report before and one after. The three figures come from the whole rebuild together.
01 · Map
Every app and script on your store, with what each one costs in load time and monthly fees.
02 · Decide
Shopify's own features first, a well-built app second, custom code last. If your email or loyalty app is doing its job, it stays, and I make its widget lighter.
03 · Cut
Apps nobody uses come out, along with code that uninstalled apps left in the theme. I measure the page before and after every change.
Bloat Score calculator
Two numbers from your Shopify admin. No email needed to see the result.
Performance Lab · native reviews
I kept the app for collecting reviews and rebuilt only the display, with Shopify's own features. The page now loads one small file of its own, for moving between pages of reviews. New reviews show up after the next sync. The store decides how often it runs: hourly, daily or weekly. Photo and video reviews aren't in the standard build, and I can add them, quoted separately.
What I build
When Shopify's own tools can do an app's job, I rebuild the feature inside your store and measure the page before and after. Here are four I've built.
I measure every build's effect on page speed before I hand it over.
Replaces a review app's widget
Performance Lab
Your review app keeps collecting and moderating. Your theme shows the stars and the reviews.
The trade-off
New reviews show up after the next sync. The store decides how often it runs: hourly, daily or weekly. Photo and video reviews I can build in, quoted separately.
Replaces a store locator app
Performance Lab
Your locations live in Shopify, and the page loads no vendor widget.
The trade-off
Locations are edited in the Shopify admin. If your team wants its own editing screen, I can build one, quoted separately.
Replaces a bundle app
Performance Lab
Shopify itself works out the bundle price, so no app code runs in the shopper's browser.
The trade-off
I set up your bundle rules as part of the build. New rules, or a screen your team uses to change them, I can build too, quoted separately. Custom Functions need Shopify Plus.
Replaces a page builder app
Working demo on this site
Pages made in a page builder app, rebuilt as sections your team edits in the theme editor. On one store I worked on, the page builder came out along with two other apps.
The trade-off
Your team builds new pages from the sections I make. A section you need that isn't there yet, I can build, quoted separately.
Your app
Tell me what the app does for your store. On a free call, I'll tell you whether Shopify's own tools can do the same job and how I'd build it. That includes product configurators, tiered and volume pricing, cart rules and checkout features.
The trade-off
Some larger builds run inside Shopify's checkout and need Shopify Plus. Your quote says if yours does.
Apps whose value is their network, like email and SMS or loyalty, stay.
Videos load only when you press play, so they don't slow this page down.
Is your Shopify reviews app slowing your product pages?
Shopify bundles: keep your bundle app or replace it?
The person who looks at your store is the same person who does the work. I'm in Jacksonville, Florida, on Eastern time.
That depends on the work. The Diagnostic Audit is $500, $1,000 or $1,500, depending on your store, and I confirm which one on the first call. For a build, I send you a quote within 4 hours of the call, or of anything I ask you for on the call. If a build of $5,000 or more starts within 90 days of your report, the audit fee comes off it in full.
I do. The person on the call is the person who writes your report.
No. If an app does a job Shopify can't do itself, like your email and SMS app or your loyalty program, it stays, and I look at making its widget lighter. The report lists every app I'd keep and why.
I can, or your own developer can. I write the report so either of us can follow it.
No. I've built on Shopify for 12 years, the past six exclusively on Plus, but the audit works on any Shopify plan. The report marks any fix that needs Plus.
You get a written report of what I'd cut and what I'd keep, in the order I'd do it. If I don't find anything worth fixing, the report says so.
