Shopify stores that earn their keep. I run Graftstudio, the technical and commercial lead for mid-market DTC brands on Shopify Plus. Brands bring me in when the store has outgrown the people who set it up. I find what it's costing, fix what the numbers say pays, and measure every change. In 15+ years I have partnered with over 160 brands that generate £80m in sales across their stores. Cult Gaia, Victoria Beckham, Gymshark, Seafolly and Ireland's largest salon group among them. I'm a Shopify Plus Partner, and three in four brands come back. I take on a small number of brands at a time, offering audits, fix sprints and fractional store ownership.

I'm Phil, founder of Candystore Studio, a Shopify studio. I've spent over 12 years building for the web and the last 6 on Shopify, including work for brands such as BrewDog, Hoodrich, Ooni and Vuse UK. Most of my work now is keeping Shopify stores working, secure and lean as brands do more themselves with AI tools and native Shopify features. Building a section with Sidekick or ChatGPT takes an afternoon. What takes the time is everything after: code that breaks on the next theme update, apps nobody remembers installing, scripts left behind by old apps, tracking that quietly stops. That is the part I take off your plate. In practice that means auditing what is installed and who has access, repairing and documenting AI-generated code, replacing single-job apps with native Shopify features or clean theme code, and monthly care for brands that want an expert watching the store. My core stack is Liquid and Online Store 2.0, JavaScript and TypeScript, and I work regularly with Klaviyo, Recharge, Rebuy, Algolia and Judge.me. When a project needs design or branding, Candystore's design team works alongside me. Every engagement starts with a fixed-price review and a written report you can act on with me or anyone else. Work happens on a duplicate theme and goes live only after your sign-off.

Let us match you with the right Shopify expert for your needs.

Share your project details, and we'll handpick the best matches from our Shopify expert directory.

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/

How to hire a Shopify expert in the UK

There's no official "Shopify Expert" qualification, so vetting matters. Work through these five steps before you request quotes from UK experts.

Define your project and budget. Be clear on whether you need a new build, a redesign, a migration, or ongoing growth — and your rough budget in GBP — so experts can scope accurately.

Decide freelancer vs agency. Freelancers suit focused tasks and tighter budgets; agencies suit larger builds, Shopify Plus, and ongoing programmes needing multiple specialists. Both models are well represented on the UK list.

Check Shopify Plus & migration experience. If you're scaling or moving from Magento, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce, confirm the expert has delivered comparable migrations, not just theme tweaks.

Review reviews and case studies. Look for UK client work and results at your store's size. Profiles show reviews and case studies where the expert has them.

Compare quotes and Partner tier. Weigh day rate and project price against communication, reviews, and Shopify Partner tier before committing.
