I have over five years of experience in web development using technologies such as Shopify, Angular, Node.js, JavaScript, React, Vue, MongoDB, MySQL, and PHP. My journey with Shopify started when I joined Hey Carson, now known as 'Shop Experts', successfully completing their trial period. I have gained significant experience in Shopify development. I've worked in complex tasks such as integrating Shopify apps, Shopify Admin API, custom design development, apps extensions development, theme development and much more. Over the past few years, I've acquired what I believe is a solid understanding of Shopify development, which helps me deliver high-quality solutions to the clients I've worked with.
Turbo Theme Shopify Help from Out of the Sandbox Experts
Top-rated Out of the Sandbox Themes experts
I help online businesses make more money with what they already have. Your $100 in ads once brought back $1,000. Now the same $100, in ads or apps, quietly brings back less every month. You are busy running the business, so nobody chases why. So I start with an audit, the way a hospital starts with triage. A short call is the triage. A fixed-price read is the lab test. The results decide the fix, and the fix has a fixed price before it starts. Shopify speed and ad tracking fixes: for stores where the ads bring visitors but not sales. One example. A clothing brand's product pages took 15.4 seconds to load. Five weeks before Black Friday, I got them to 7.4 seconds. That is the job: I find what slows your store down, and I fix it. The same work keeps finding a second problem: numbers you cannot trust. The code that tells Meta or Google about a sale fires twice, so sales count double. Ads run across every product, with no check on which ones earn. Apps bill every month for work nobody has measured. So I also check what your money is really doing, instead of trusting what Google, Meta and the apps say. Then I fix what I find. I work with established stores run by their founders. To me, speed and ad spend are sales problems, not technical boxes to tick. What I work on, eight ways in: Speed check. I measure how fast your pages load for real shoppers on a phone. I find what makes them wait, and I fix it. Accessibility check. I test your store the way a keyboard user or a screen reader meets it. I check whether a widget sits on top of problems it does not fix. You get the findings in the order a complaint would reach them. Shopify deadline check. Shopify changes its rules on set dates. Scripts ended on 30 June. Order status script tags ended on 26 August. I find what has already stopped working on your store and what is dated ahead, and I make the repairs. Tracking and attribution fix. Meta Pixel, GA4 (Google Analytics) and server-side tracking. I remove the double counting and prove it in your own dashboards. Ad spend by product and the app bill get read in the same pass. Google and Meta recovery. Your products stopped showing on Google or Meta. I find where the connection broke and get them showing again. Sale price check. AI shopping tools, like ChatGPT, now get your "was" prices from Shopify. I check that yours reach them right. Builds and theme upgrades. New sections and modern themes, with your custom work and your tracking still running. Every change to the live site has a way back. Partner Seat. 25 hours a month. I watch speed, the pages customers see, broken links, tracking and app bills. Your work goes first in the queue. Each check is $285. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Key results: Product page load time cut from 15.4 seconds to 7.4 seconds, 52% faster. Mobile PageSpeed on product pages from 18 to 28. The apps the client chose stayed in place, at their call. Two apps were billing to track what the store's own Google channel already did. I removed them, checked the tracking was clean, and took $199 a year off the app bill. Repeat clients going back to 2018. One store has come back for 14 projects over four years. How I work: A paid check first. It measures the real problem, no guessing. If you go ahead, I take the fee off the fix price. Work in stages. You approve each one. Every delivery ends with before and after numbers, and a short list of the next things I found. 80+ projects done. Clients in the US, Canada, UK, Australia and Denmark. Send me your store address. I will tell you what slows it down, whether your numbers add up, and what a complaint would find first. No commitment.

Shopify SEO and AEO Consultant–Let's get you found. I built my own Shopify store, The Kind Pet, to $50K in its first year organically with zero ad spend. That's the same structure I build for other stores: collections mapped to how people actually search, content that answers the question before they're asked, and a site that both Google and AI search engines can actually read. After 8+ years working in eCommerce (including building Shopify stores and helping brands double their traffic while growing organic revenue to 30–50% through SEO and conversion strategies), I made the move fully into Shopify growth consulting. What I work on: Site and navigation architecture by user intent Commercial keyword research paired with the collection build-out FAQ and AEO structure–mapped and marked up as schema Internal linking maps built for faster indexing Technical SEO and Core Web Vitals Backlinking SEO Content Marketing Conversion Rate Optimization Recent results: Skincare brand achieving $20K in Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales from organic sales Client organic revenue up 255% in one month, and a separate client up 104% in three months, following collection and keyword restructuring Repeat clients who return project after project once the structure is in place Types of clients: Small to medium-sized merchants Beauty, apparel, hardware, pets, etc. 2-6 year client lifetime–we strive for long-term partnerships Canadian merchants: I charge the same in USD and CAD, so you'll never have to pay for conversion.
Senior Shopify Developer with 10+ years of experience building, customizing, and optimizing Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. I specialize in theme development, Liquid, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, performance optimization, app integrations, and creating scalable eCommerce solutions tailored to business goals. I’ve worked across the full development lifecycle, from translating design concepts into responsive, high-performing storefronts to troubleshooting complex technical issues and improving conversion-focused user experiences. I’m also known for fast delivery, clean implementation, and reliable collaboration to deliver business-driven solutions on time.
I'm a Shopify developer with years of hands-on experience building and scaling e-commerce stores — from custom theme development to conversion rate optimization and third-party integrations. I've worked with brands like Après Nail and through platforms like Storetasker, delivering solutions that look great and perform even better. I specialize in Liquid programming, frontend development, and UI/UX enhancement. Whether you need a full theme build, a tricky app integration, or a speed and SEO overhaul, I bring a detail-oriented approach that gets results — not just code. I leverage AI tools like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot throughout my workflow — drafting Liquid logic faster, QA-testing edge cases, and generating content-ready section structures. This means faster turnaround, fewer revisions, and more value for your budget. My background spans custom store builds, GA4 + GTM tracking setups, Klaviyo integrations, loyalty app configurations, A/B testing, and cross-functional collaboration with design and marketing teams. I treat every project like it's my own store on the line. I'm a Computer Software Engineering graduate and Growth Collective certified in Creative Website Design (Shopify).

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.
With over eight years of experience as a full-stack Shopify developer, I translate complex technical concepts into user-friendly features that are built on scalable and reliable code.

Turbo and Flex jobs worth paying a specialist for
Turbo has been on sale for years, and plenty of stores still run builds from before Online Store 2.0. Most paid work starts with that gap.
Leaving a vintage Turbo build. Turbo added Online Store 2.0 support in version 7.0.0 in September 2021, and Out of the Sandbox calls earlier versions vintage, with limited compatibility. The current release is 11.0.0, a long way from a pre-2021 store.
Updating heavily edited files. Out of the Sandbox says updates through Shopify aren't supported and that file adjustments often complicate updates. For extensive edits, its guidance is to bring in outside help.
Replacing tag filters. Turbo 10.0.0 removed tag collection filtering. A store that leaned on tag filters needs its collection navigation rebuilt as part of the move.
High-variant products. Version 11.0.0 added high-variant support on the product page, quick shop, mini cart and grid. Stores with large option sets should test those templates with real data after updating.
Custom features and app widgets. Custom feature development, design work and third-party app troubleshooting all sit outside Out of the Sandbox support. Wholesale tables, bundle blocks and review widgets on a Turbo product page are developer jobs.
Speed regressions. Out of the Sandbox doesn't troubleshoot page speed. Speed optimization experts separate theme weight from app scripts.
Settings help from the source. Feature and settings questions on an unmodified theme go to Out of the Sandbox support. Don't buy developer hours for those.
Hiring an Out of the Sandbox theme developer: what to ask
On a long-lived Turbo or Flex store, the first question isn't design. It's how far behind the code is.
"Which version are we on, and what changed since?" A good candidate reads the changelog before quoting and spots the breaking points, such as Online Store 2.0 arriving in 7.0.0 and tag filtering leaving in 10.0.0.
"Update or rebuild?" Ask for both, priced. Light edits on a recent version suit an update. Years of changes to core files on a vintage build can make a rebuild on the current version the cheaper path.
"What will Theme Updater carry, and what will you port by hand?" Out of the Sandbox's own app keeps code edits and app integrations on its Pro plan. A specialist should name the edits it can move and the ones they'll rework.
Signals to move on. A plan to update through Shopify's theme library, edits made on the live theme, or a promised speed score.
A paid audit first. A short review listing every modified file and installed app, ending in an update-or-rebuild recommendation. Our guide to contracts and scope covers how to put that in writing, and custom theme developers take on full rebuilds.
Turbo theme Shopify versions, licenses and support scope
Two places to buy. Turbo and Flex sell on outofthesandbox.com. Parallax ($260), Retina and Responsive ($220 each) sell on the Shopify Theme Store, with presets such as Taproom, Sprint and Patina. Superstore and Vino complete the range.
Registration comes first. Registering a theme, through Theme Updater or a quick form with your order number and Shopify domain, gives access to the latest release and activates support. It can be refused if the license was used on a store that has closed; a transfer then goes through Shopify Support.
No updates through Shopify. Out of the Sandbox lists three routes instead: a manual update, Theme Updater, or a third-party service.
Updater minimums. Theme Updater works with Turbo 7.0.0 and later, Flex 3.0.0, Retina 6.0.0, Responsive 8.0.0, Parallax 5.0.0 and Superstore 4.0.0. Anything older is updated manually or by a developer.
Updater plans. As of October 2026 the free plan gives updated theme files and version alerts, while Updater Pro, which keeps code edits and app integrations, costs $9 a month or $96 a year after a 7-day trial.
Support pace. Email only, aiming for 24 hours but allowing 1 to 3 business days. Paid priority support is an add-on and does not widen what is covered.

Out of the Sandbox Shopify theme FAQ: Turbo, Flex and updates
As of October 2026, Turbo costs $425 per style on outofthesandbox.com and Flex costs $495. The Out of the Sandbox themes on the Shopify Theme Store cost $220 to $260. Developer time is separate: all 15 badge holders list a starting price, from $70 to $2,500. Our theme customization cost guide covers what shapes a quote.
Only from version 7.0.0, released in September 2021, which added Online Store 2.0 support. Out of the Sandbox calls earlier versions vintage, with limited compatibility, and Theme Updater also starts at Turbo 7.0.0. A store on an older build is looking at a migration, not a routine update.
Often, yes. Out of the Sandbox recommends its app for themes bought on the Theme Store or its own site, and for files that were adjusted only a few times. Updater Pro keeps code edits and app integrations. For extensively edited themes, the same guidance recommends outside help.
Yes, three as of October 2026: Parallax at $260, and Retina and Responsive at $220, each with three extra presets. Turbo, Flex, Superstore and Vino are sold through outofthesandbox.com instead, so check where your copy came from before planning an update.
No. Its support policy rules out custom feature development and design services, and custom code changes aren't supported. The policy advises hiring an experienced Shopify developer for custom work, and its team may ask you to revert customizations before troubleshooting a bug.
