About

shopexpert since: March 2025

Speed & Performance Specialist for Shopify Stores

I helped an apparel brand improve their mobile Lighthouse score from 7 to 65 three weeks before Black Friday, protecting $18K+ in holiday sales. That's what I do — I find what's slowing your store down and fix it.

I specialize in Shopify speed optimization, Core Web Vitals, tracking/pixel setup, and accessibility compliance for established stores doing $500K+ annually. I treat speed as a revenue problem, not just a technical checkbox.

Available Mon-Fri 7am-3pm EST. Flexible scheduling for urgent pre-launch issues.

What I work on:

  • Speed audits and Core Web Vitals optimization

  • Meta Pixel and GA4 tracking setup and audits

  • Accessibility compliance (WCAG/ADA)

  • Theme performance tuning

  • Server-side tracking

  • Ongoing technical support via support packs

Key Results:

  • 7→65 mobile score, protecting $18K+ in Black Friday sales

  • 74% faster load times across product pages and checkout

  • Restored accessibility compliance for premium housewares brand - traced 302 "critical" findings to a single widget conflict

  • Longest client relationship: 2+ years with 17+ projects

How I Work:

  1. Diagnostic audit identifies actual bottlenecks (not guesswork)

  2. Phased implementation — you approve each milestone

  3. 90-day post-launch support

80+ projects completed, 96% satisfaction rate. Clients across the US, Canada, Australia, Denmark, and Sweden.

Send me your store URL and I'll tell you exactly what's slowing it down - no commitment needed.

Erick did a great job updating my Shopify theme to the latest version. He was thorough in verifying nothing broke post-update, communicated clearly throughout the entire process, and kept me informed every step of the way. No surprises, no issues. Exactly what you want from a developer. Highly recommend and will definitely work with him again.

FAQ
How much will this cost?

I provide accurate quotes only after reviewing your store setup. This protects both of us from scope creep and ensures you don't pay for work you don't need. To get started, I'll need collaborator access to your store, or we can schedule a quick discovery call.

How long will this take?

Timeline depends on project complexity. Simple fixes: 1-3 days. Theme customizations: 1-2 weeks. Complex integrations: 2-4 weeks. I'll provide a specific timeline in your proposal after reviewing your requirements.

How does payment work?

I work through Shopexperts.com, which holds your payment in escrow until you approve the completed work. This protects you - you don't release payment until you're satisfied, and I'm assured payment once the work is done as agreed.

What do you need from me to get started?

To provide an accurate quote, I need collaborator access to your Shopify store. In your admin: Settings → Users → Security → Code. Once I have the code, I'll send a collaborator request to review your setup.

What if I'm not happy with the work?

You review everything before approving payment release. I work in a draft theme so you can test changes before they go live. If something isn't right, I'll adjust it - that's included in the project scope.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. I offer support packages with discounted hourly rates: 25 hours ($90/hr), 50 hours ($85/hr), or 75 hours ($80/hr). Packages are valid for 2 months. Many clients find this more cost-effective for ongoing maintenance and updates.

Can you work with my deadline?

I work on a first-payment, first-scheduled basis. Once payment clears, I lock in your start date. If my timeline doesn't work for your deadline, I'll let you know upfront and can recommend another developer.

What's your hourly rate?

$95/hour with a 1-hour minimum. For larger projects, I provide fixed-price quotes based on scope. Support packages offer discounted rates ($80-90/hour) for ongoing work.
