Shopify + AI

I build, fix, and upgrade Shopify stores — then make them smarter with an AI chatbot that actually knows your catalog.

Custom builds, performance fixes, and AI chat — no templates, no guesswork.

Three ways to work together, depending on where your store is right now.

01

Build

“I don't have a store yet.”

  • Custom theme setup and branding, built around how your products actually sell
  • Custom sections and page layouts — hand-coded into the theme, not app-bolted
  • Product, collection, and checkout flow built for conversion from day one
02

Optimize

“My store exists but underperforms.”

  • Store revamp / redesign on your existing platform — no rebuild required
  • Speed optimization: image pipelines, app bloat, render-blocking code — not a plugin
  • On-page SEO so the traffic you already get actually converts
03
The edge

AI-Powered Add-ons

“I want my store to be smarter.”

  • Understands your actual catalog, not a scripted FAQ
  • Answers product questions, recommends items, and guides customers like knowledgeable staff
  • Built on the same retrieval-AI architecture behind systems handling 80,000+ products

Four steps. No surprises.

01

Discovery call

15–20 minutes. You tell me what's broken or what you're building; I tell you honestly if I'm the right fit.

02

Scope & quote

A clear breakdown of what's included and the timeline, before any work starts.

03

Build

I work, you get real progress updates — not silence until “done.”

04

Launch & support

Store goes live. I stay reachable after launch, not gone the moment it's paid for.

Featured — custom Shopify storefronts

A storefront built around your brand. Not the other way around.

Your customer has seen your store before. Same hero, same three-up grid, same product page — on somebody else's brand.

An off-the-shelf storefront is a pile of decisions someone else made for a merchant who isn't you. Where the hero sits. How big the product grid gets. What a collection page is allowed to do. You spent years building a brand with a specific feel, then poured it into a layout designed to fit everyone.

I work the other way around. We start with your brand — how it should feel, what it has to say, what actually makes someone buy — and I write the Liquid to match. Every section custom-coded against your design. No page builder, no six apps stacked up to fake a layout, nothing loading that you didn't ask for.

You end up with a store nobody could mistake for anyone else's. A product page built around how your product actually sells. And a team that can still change all of it from the Shopify editor, without calling me.

  • Coded to your brand

    Hero, collection, product, cart — every section written against your design, not bent out of a settings panel someone else shipped.

  • Your team stays in control

    Each section ships as a real theme setting with proper schema. Your people edit copy, images, and order themselves.

  • No app bloat

    Hand-coded Liquid instead of five apps and a page builder fighting each other for load time.

  • Yours to keep

    You own the storefront and every line in it. No licence, no lock-in, no monthly fee to keep your own layout.

A 20-minute call first. Then scope, price, and a delivery date in writing — before you commit to anything.

Yours

Same skeleton, different logo. Three of these are your competitors.

Most Shopify AI guesses. This one looks it up first.

Most “AI chat” add-ons are a generic model with a Shopify logo on it. It has never read your catalog, so when a customer asks whether a jacket runs small or ships to Canada, it guesses — and sometimes it is confidently wrong, in front of your customer.

Mine works the other way round. Before it answers anything, it searches your actual store — products, descriptions, policies — pulls the entries that match, and answers from those. If the answer is not in your store, it says so instead of inventing one. Think of a salesperson who checks the shelf before replying, rather than one who is sure they remember.

I have built this exact system at scale: one of my projects indexes over 81,000 titles and explains why it recommends each one. Same engine, pointed at your store.

Questions, answered.

Do I need to already have a Shopify store?

No. I build new stores or work with what you already have — either is fine.

How long does a typical build take?

Depends on scope, but you'll get a real timeline during the scope call, before anything is paid for — not a guess.

Do you only build in Shopify's default theme editor?

No. Most of what I do is custom-coded — sections, layouts, and features that don't exist as an app or a theme setting.

What happens after the store launches?

I stay reachable. Launch isn't the end of the relationship.

Can the AI chatbot be added to an existing store, or only new builds?

Either. It's an add-on — it works on a store I build or one that already exists.

Not sure if you need a rebuild, a fix, or just the AI piece?

Send me your store. I'll tell you what I'd actually do — no pitch, just an honest read.
