What I build
The feature your customers use stays, built with Shopify's own tools. The app's monthly bill and extra code come out, and I measure the page before and after.
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.
How a build is quoted
01 · Call
A free 30-minute call. You describe the job the app does now, and I tell you how I'd build it in your store.
02 · Quote
If I ask you for something on the call, the 4 hours start when it arrives. The quote is one page: what I'll build, what it replaces, the trade-off, the timeline and a fixed price. To go ahead, you reply "accepted".
03 · Build
The weeks in your quote start once the first invoice is paid, I have access to your store and you've agreed the build details with me. The work arrives on an unpublished copy of your theme, or installed on your store but not yet switched on.
Every build is priced in a fixed quote for your store. The call is free.
Architectural Overhaul
When several apps come out together, I replace them as one project, with one quote and one timeline. The quote comes the same way, after the same free 30-minute call.
Price, fixed in your quote
$5,000–$15,000+
Timeline
3–6 weeks
Fill in a short form, then pick a time for the call. Your quote follows within 4 hours of the call, or of anything I ask you for on it.
