New Zealand Shopify Development & Design
Work wth a Shopify expert that feels like an in-house partner. I help New Zealand Shopify merchants build and transform their storefronts, apps, and strategy at a fraction of the cost of traditional agencies and internal teams.
How does it work?
For one flat monthly fee, I’ll be your go-to guy for anything Shopify related including development, design, and strategy. Simply send me your requests, tell me what the top priorities are, and I’ll get it done.
Submit your request
Submit as many Shopify design, development, or strategy requests as you like.
Let the magic happen
Requests are completed within 2-3 business days on average, Monday to Friday (NZST).
Unlimited Revisions
Your requests will be revised until you’re 100% satisfied with the outcome.
Why work with me?
Here are just a few of the reasons why Shopify merchants work with me.
No fixed contracts
Pay the same fixed price each month, cancel or pause anytime.

Fast turnarounds

Easy to manage
You’ll get invited to a project board where you can add as many requests as you like, track changes in progress, and give feedback.
Unlimited meetings
Schedule video calls as often or as little as you’d like to get my consultation, go over new work, or review work in progress.
Bring the whole team

Recent Work
Selling online with Astro and Shopify
The Aromatherapy Company is a market leader in home fragrance and body care products for New Zealand and Australia with over 5 signature brands and 1,000 stockists worldwide.
To bring their shopping experience to the next level and improve their workflow, The Aromatherapy Company were interested in a Headless Commerce (JamStack) website. I worked with The Aromatherapy Company through local Shopify agency KiwiSprout to develop their new website in Astro, backed by Shopify.
The end result was a 15x faster website with a 40% higher conversion rate that is packed with new features including a bundle builder, volume discounts, and unique loyalty program. Learn more about my solution in the case study below.

FAQs
What happens after I subscribe?
Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?
How long will it take for you to complete my requests?
That depends on how complex the request is, but on average, most requests are completed in 2-3 business days.
When I'm working on bigger tasks, I will typically give you updates on progress every 2-3 business days so that you can understand how I'm tracking.
I also frequently update our shared project board with my approximate estimate of how many days each task will take so that you can reorganise the set of priorities if desired.
Why wouldn’t I just hire a full-time designer or developer?
You could do that, but in my experience the annual cost of a designer or developer is at least $80,000 NZD full time, if not much higher, and it is difficult to find a single person that can do both.
Also in my personal opinion, with my extensive agency experience working across a wide variety of industries, you will be hard pressed to find someone that can work at the level of quality and speed that I can.
You may also struggle to find enough work to keep a hire busy at all times, whereas you can pause or cancel your subscription with me at any time.
What do you mean by one request in progress at a time?
By this, I mean that you can make unlimited requests, but only one request will be actively worked on at a time.
Every request you make will go into a shared project board where you can order the tasks by priority. After I have finished a request for you, I will take the next highest-priority request from the project board, and start working on that.
This should mean that, provided I do not run out of requests from you, on average every 2-3 business days you will get an update from me with either the latest request in progress being ready for review, or an update on how it is progressing if it's a larger task.
What do you mean by unlimited meetings?
By this, I mean that you can book as many video calls with me as you like, subject to my availability, to get my consultation, go over new work, or review work in progress.
What do you mean by unlimited users?
You can add as many users as you like to our shared project board, so that everyone on your team can make requests.
Please be aware though that prioritisation will be shared across your team's entire set of requests, and I will still only have one request in progress for you at a time.
What do you mean by pause or cancel anytime?
After subscribing, you will receive a special customer link you can use to view your past payments, change your billing card, and pause or cancel your subscription.
There are no fixed terms to our service, so you can cancel or pause it at any time without penalties or additional charges.
How does the pause feature work?
Pausing your subscription allows you to bank your days left in your current billing cycle to be used anytime in the future.
For example, say that you signed up and used the service for 20 days, and then decided to pause your subscription. Once you unpause your subscription, you will have 10 days of the service to use before the next billing charge.
Who will do the work?
Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?
What if I don't have enough work to do in a month?
I have multiple brands, do I need more than one subscription?
You can use your one subscription to request work for an unlimited amount of sites, companies, or brands.
