About

Shopify Specialist | Store Design, Development & Optimisation

I'm Michael Thomas, the founder of Michael Thomas Media, an independent Shopify consultancy helping businesses build, improve and grow their online stores.

I've spent over a decade working with Shopify, beginning my career at Shopify itself before spending six years working with premium Shopify themes, supporting merchants worldwide and leading a theme support team.

Today, I work directly with businesses to create beautiful, high-performing Shopify stores that are easy to manage, built to convert and designed for long-term growth.

How I can help

  • Shopify Store Design & Redesign — Creating modern, professional storefronts using carefully selected premium Shopify themes.

  • Theme Setup & Customisation — Tailoring existing themes to your brand, improving layouts and creating better shopping experiences.

  • Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) — Identifying opportunities to improve navigation, product discovery, usability and conversions.

  • Shopify SEO & Technical Optimisation — Improving site structure, metadata, structured data, internal linking and technical SEO.

  • Store Performance & Speed — Identifying performance bottlenecks and improving storefront efficiency.

  • Shopify Troubleshooting — Resolving theme issues, app conflicts, bugs and unexpected storefront behaviour.

  • Store Migrations & Setup — Helping businesses launch on Shopify or transition from another platform.

  • Ongoing Shopify Support — Providing reliable assistance, maintenance, training and practical recommendations.

Experience that goes beyond theme customisation

I've worked with everything from brand-new businesses launching their first Shopify store to established retailers managing thousands of products and more than 150,000 orders.

My background in Shopify theme support means I understand how themes work behind the scenes, how different apps and integrations interact, and how to identify problems without introducing unnecessary complexity.

I focus on practical improvements that make a measurable difference, rather than recommending expensive rebuilds or additional apps when simpler solutions will do.

Let's improve your Shopify store

Whether you're launching a new business, redesigning an existing store or trying to solve a frustrating technical issue, I'd be happy to help.
