A client came to me an year ago with a Shopify store doing $100/month.
Same store today crossed $40k.
I didn't change their product.
I didn't change their pricing.
I didn't change their ads.
Here's what I actually did:
✦ Rebuilt the product pages with conversion-focused copy
✦ Fixed the site speed from 7.2 seconds → 1.8 seconds
✦ Added a sticky add-to-cart button on mobile
✦ Redesigned the checkout flow (removed 4 unnecessary steps)
✦ Added trust badges, review widgets, and a money-back banner
✦ Fixed broken mobile layout that was causing 80% mobile bounce rate
Total project time: 1 weeks.
The website was the problem the whole time.
They were running ads to a leaky bucket, and wondering why nothing worked.
Once it was fixed, everything changed.
If you're driving traffic but not seeing sales, your website is probably the reason.
DM me the word "SHOPIFY" and I'll take a look at yours. No charge.

What’s your go to Shopify theme when you’re building a custom theme?
I always start with Shopify Horizon as the base, bolt on Tailwind CSS, and build from there.
I've built loads of custom theme's this way, its so much easier than buying a premium theme and trying to modify it. It also eliminates bloat and pointless blocks and functionality.
One day I'll get around to creating my own base theme but there's never time to even get started on that!
Nice work 👏
I use Claude every day
I think I'm pretty good at it
I watch two Anthropic engineers for 2 HOURS

wait. Skills are just folders?
folders that hold onto your workflow?
your domain? your expertise?
pause. rewind. I watch again
I think about every prompt I've rewritten from scratch
every context I've explained 100 times
every session that forgot everything
this shouldn't have happened like that
16 minutes. everything changes

Most Shopify brands automatically jump to Klaviyo for email marketing.
But for this fashion project, we wanted something different.
Something cleaner.
More intimate.
More story-driven.
So instead of following the usual route, we designed this subscriber experience using Kit; and honestly, it came out fire.
The goal wasn’t just collecting emails.
It was creating a feeling the moment someone lands on the page.
From the soft editorial layout to the minimal typography and warm tones, every section was designed to feel like a fashion campaign, not just another signup form.
We focused on:
• A visually-led storytelling experience
• A clean lead capture flow
• A luxury fashion aesthetic
• Simplicity that still converts
What made it stand out was how effortless everything felt. No clutter. No aggressive popups. Just strong visuals, intentional copy, and a smooth subscriber journey that actually fits the brand identity.
Sometimes the best-performing designs come from trying something outside the “normal Shopify setup.”
And this was one of those projects.
