When checkout, apps, or theme architecture hold the business back, more campaigns rarely help. I work with Shopify Plus teams that need a scalable foundation and a sharper merchant experience before the next phase of growth. From custom apps and checkout extensions to migrations and integrations, I own the architecture from first diagnosis through long-term delivery. https://ocontis.studio/

Over the last 10+ years, I’ve worked as a freelancer, spent four years at a creative agency leading design, development, and client delivery, and now run a 2-person team that feels more like a creative partner than a traditional agency. We work closely with merchants who want a Shopify site that actually reflects the brand they’ve built — and can support where they’re going next. I’m most interested in projects where design, dev, and strategy all overlap — where there’s a real problem to solve, not just a template to swap.

I am a frontend web developer with over 14 years of experience, specialising in Shopify and WordPress development. My focus is on building seamless, conversion-focused eCommerce experiences that combine clean design with high performance. I work with a modern tech stack that includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript (ES6+), Liquid, React, Tailwind CSS, and popular CMS frameworks. I am also experienced in integrating marketing tools such as Klaviyo, Mailchimp, and Google Tag Manager, helping brands automate and scale their online presence effectively. Some of the projects I am most proud of involve transforming underperforming storefronts into fast, mobile-first websites with measurable improvements in conversion rate and user engagement. My approach blends UX/UI enhancement, speed optimisation, and conversion rate optimisation (CRO) strategies to ensure every site not only looks great but delivers real business results. Whether collaborating with agencies or supporting in-house teams, I take a hands-on, performance-driven approach to development-turning creative ideas into high-impact digital experiences.

I build high-performing Shopify stores designed for speed, scalability, and long-term savings so your only monthly cost is your Shopify subscription. If your current theme is patched or bloated, a clean rebuild is the smarter move. All builds are theme-editable, free from third-party scripts, and made to be maintained forever. I work exclusively with the Horizon theme, the latest stack by Shopify, and also work with fresh paid themes without any dev history to create fast, SEO-ready, and easy-to-manage stores that convert. What I specialize in: - Shopify 2.0 and custom theme rebuilds - Web redesigns and new designs using Figma - Figma to Shopify development - Performance and SEO optimization - CRO-focused custom features/sections - Shopify API and app development (Shopify Plus) - Long-term store care and maintenance Most clients stay for years because I build clean, smart, and scalable stores that deliver real results. Let’s make your Shopify store work harder for you.
