I'm a Senior Shopify Plus & Commerce Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering scalable, high-performing eCommerce solutions for growing brands. My primary expertise is Shopify Plus, but my experience extends across the wider commerce ecosystem, including BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Webflow, WordPress and Squarespace. Having worked across multiple platforms, I’m able to approach projects from a broader technical perspective, whether that involves choosing the right architecture, handling a platform migration, connecting external systems or solving complex commerce requirements. My work goes well beyond theme development. I help brands design, build and improve the technical foundations behind their eCommerce operations, including: • Shopify Plus development and custom storefronts • Headless commerce using Hydrogen, React and TypeScript • Custom Shopify apps and bespoke functionality • Admin API, Storefront API, GraphQL and webhook development • ERP, WMS, CRM, fulfilment and third-party system integrations • Checkout Extensibility and Shopify Functions • Shopify B2B and custom commerce workflows • Shopify Markets and international expansion • CRO, Core Web Vitals and storefront performance • Klaviyo and wider eCommerce integrations • High-traffic and BFCM preparation • Long-term technical support and continuous development I’m comfortable working across the full lifecycle of a commerce project, from technical discovery and architecture through development, integration, testing, launch and ongoing optimization. My core technical stack includes Shopify Liquid, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, Hydrogen, GraphQL, HTML/CSS, Shopify APIs and Git/GitHub. I also incorporate modern AI-assisted development workflows using Codex, Claude and Cursor where they can improve development speed, debugging and delivery quality. Alongside engineering, I bring a strong understanding of CRO and storefront UX. That means I don’t look at a feature purely from the perspective of whether it works. I also consider how it affects site speed, customer experience, conversion rates, maintainability and the store’s ability to scale. Over the years, I’ve worked on everything from complex Shopify builds and integrations to migrations, international storefronts, performance improvements and ongoing commerce development. If you’re looking for someone who can combine deep Shopify expertise with broader commerce engineering experience, I’d be happy to discuss what you’re building and how I can help.

London has a deep pool of Shopify talent, so the constraint isn't finding someone, it's filtering. A London merchant searching for a Shopify developer will find dozens, at rates that vary widely for work that looks similar on a proposal. Most of the value in hiring here comes from narrowing well rather than searching harder.
On whether local matters: for most Shopify work it doesn't, and London is the clearest case in the UK. Development, design, SEO, email and consulting are all delivered remotely as standard, and a London merchant working with a Manchester or Bristol studio is entirely normal and often cheaper for equivalent work. The UK is small enough that time zone is never the issue it is in Australia or North America.
Four situations where London-based genuinely helps:
Physical work. Product and lifestyle photography, in-person team training, retail POS setup, and warehouse or studio visits all need someone in the room.
Enterprise Plus builds with heavy stakeholder involvement. On six-figure projects with several internal stakeholders, in-person workshops during discovery meaningfully improve outcomes. Some agencies will travel for this; many London merchants prefer not to depend on it.
Speed of assembling a team. If you need a developer, a designer and an email specialist at the same time and quickly, London's density makes that easier.
Sector-specific experience. London has large clusters of fashion, beauty and food DTC brands. If you want someone who has shipped in your exact category, London is a good place to look.
If none of those apply, widen your search. You'll usually find equivalent quality outside London at lower day rates.
What you pay depends far more on scope than on postcode. Of the 88 London-based experts on shopexperts, 64 list a starting price: the smallest job they will quote, shown in US dollars. It is not the price of a full build.
Median starting price
Across 64 London profiles
Middle half of starting prices
Hourly and task work to small projects
Agencies that start at $10,000+
Full builds and Plus work only
Freelancers sit lower than agencies: the median freelancer starting price is $185, against about $390 for agencies. A starting price in the thousands usually means the agency only takes full builds or retainers. Full builds, Shopify Plus work and retainers are quoted per project, so compare quotes against a written scope.
The practical London-specific advice: get at least one quote from outside London for any standard scope. If the London quote is much higher for the same deliverables and timeline, ask what the difference buys. If it's higher because the team has shipped several stores in your exact category, that's a different calculation. Request a free quote to compare properly.
London is the centre of the UK's direct-to-consumer scene, from fashion and beauty to food, drink and subscription brands, and a deep agency and freelance market has grown around them. On shopexperts, 67 of the 88 London-based experts are agencies and 21 are freelancers.
The city's specialisms follow its brands. Fashion and beauty DTC is the deepest cluster, which means London designers and developers who have shipped repeatedly in those categories bring pattern knowledge that generalists don't. Food, drink and subscription DTC is the second cluster, and London has real depth in subscription-specific work as a result.
The London-specific technical specialism is post-Brexit selling into the EU. London brands deal with hreflang, VAT on EU orders, IOSS registration, DDP shipping and customs paperwork as routine, and London consultants have worked through it repeatedly since 2021.
London's freelance market is also large enough to be competitive at the senior end. A senior London freelancer can cost less than a mid-tier London agency and deliver better work on a single-discipline project. The directory on this page lets you compare both directly.
London Shopify experts cover the full range of Shopify work, with unusual depth in fashion and beauty DTC and in post-Brexit multi-region setups. The most requested services on shopexperts:
Liquid, sections, custom widgets, theme migrations
Plus setup, migrations, multi-store, B2B, checkout customisation
Theme design, brand identity, product page and checkout optimisation
Technical SEO, UK search strategy, content programmes, AI search
Flow builds, segmentation, campaign management, SMS
Hreflang, IOSS, DDP shipping, dual VAT, EU fulfilment
For most Shopify work, no. Development, design, SEO, email and consulting are delivered remotely as standard, and the UK is small enough that time zone is never a factor. A London merchant working with a Manchester or Bristol studio is normal and often cheaper for equivalent work. London genuinely helps for physical work (photography, in-person training, POS setup), for enterprise Plus builds with heavy stakeholder involvement where in-person discovery workshops improve outcomes, when you need to assemble a multi-discipline team quickly, and when you want someone with deep experience in your specific category.
Of the 88 London-based experts on shopexperts, 64 list a starting price. The median is $275, and the middle half sit between $90 and $2,000 (in US dollars). Those are the smallest jobs each expert will quote: freelancers sit lower (median $185) than agencies (about $390), and five agencies start at $10,000 or more because they only take full builds. Full builds, Shopify Plus work and retainers are quoted per project, so request quotes against a written scope.
It depends what you're buying. For standard scopes, such as theme customisation, a straightforward build or ongoing maintenance, a London premium usually buys you a central London office rather than better work, and a regional studio will deliver the same thing for less. For genuine specialism it's a different calculation: if the London team has shipped several stores in your exact category, or has deep post-Brexit EU selling experience, that pattern knowledge is worth real money. The practical test is to get at least one non-London quote for the same scope and ask what the difference buys.
London's freelance market is deep enough that this is a genuine choice rather than a compromise. Senior London freelancers often cost less than mid-tier London agencies and deliver better work, particularly on single-discipline projects. Agencies earn their premium when you need design, development and project management coordinated, or continuity across a long engagement. Shopify Plus Partners fit enterprise builds and stores with Plus-level complexity. On shopexperts, 21 of the 88 London-based experts are freelancers and 67 are agencies, so compare both in the directory on this page rather than assuming agency means better.
Fashion and beauty DTC first: that's the densest brand cluster in the city and the specialism runs deepest. Food, drink and subscription commerce is the second cluster, which has produced real depth in subscription-specific work. And post-Brexit selling into the EU is the London-specific technical specialism: hreflang, IOSS, DDP shipping, VAT on EU orders and customs documentation are routine work for London consultants in a way they aren't for agencies outside the UK.
Plenty, which is both an advantage and a filtering problem. Plus Partner status confirms enterprise experience but says nothing about fit for your category or scope. Verify claimed tiers in the Shopify Partner directory, ask for three live Plus stores from the last twelve months, and follow up with two of those merchants directly if the project is over £30,000.
Yes, and this is where London experience is most clearly worth paying for. London brands have been solving post-Brexit EU selling since 2021: hreflang setup, IOSS registration for parcels up to €150, DDP shipping so EU customers don't get customs bills at the door, VAT on EU orders, and dual-warehouse strategies for higher-volume EU sellers. Consultants outside the UK generally haven't dealt with the UK-to-EU direction repeatedly.
Three filters do most of the work. Category experience: ask for live stores in your vertical from the last twelve months, not a portfolio spanning five years. Scope match: a studio whose typical project is £8,000 will struggle with a £150,000 Plus build, and vice versa, and both will tell you they can do it. Then price against at least one non-London quote for the same scope. That last one is the fastest way to see what the London number actually contains.
