Shopify Partner in Merthyr Tydfil
Shopify Website Design and Development in South Wales
What I Do
I design, build and look after Shopify stores for retailers across South Wales and the UK. Whether you're starting from scratch, moving from another platform or trying to get more out of the store you've already got, I'll make sure it's set up properly and easy for you to run.
What You Get
New Shopify Stores
Designed around your products and customers, with payments, shipping and tax set up properly from day one.
Theme Customisation
Custom sections, templates and Liquid code for when an off-the-shelf theme doesn't quite do what you need.
Migrations
Moving from WooCommerce, Wix, Square or elsewhere, with redirects in place to reduce the risk of losing your Google rankings.
Product Imports
Bulk CSV imports for big catalogues, variants and supplier ranges, so you're not adding products one by one.
Apps and Integrations
Reviews, email marketing, stock and delivery apps chosen carefully and set up to work together.
Speed and Optimisation
Faster pages, cleaner navigation and a simpler checkout, so more visitors end up buying.
Shopify for Established Retailers
Most of my Shopify work is for retailers who already have a store and need it to do more. Here's what that usually involves.
Theme customisation and Liquid development
When a theme gets close but doesn't quite do what you need, I build custom sections, templates and product options in Liquid, Shopify's own code, rather than piling on extra apps. For Rabart Decorating Centres that meant Farrow & Ball paint pages with finish and size selectors, so customers can choose exactly what they need on one page.
Large catalogues and product imports
Big ranges, supplier price lists and products with lots of variants are handled with bulk CSV imports, so products can be added or updated in one go rather than one at a time. I also set up the product data so collections, filters and search stay tidy as the range grows. I do this regularly for Kismet Blackwood and Philip Jones Timber Products.
Migrations to Shopify
Moving from WooCommerce, Wix, Square or another platform covers your products, customers, content and, where it's needed, order history. Old addresses get 301 redirects and titles and descriptions are carried over, so the Google rankings you've built up aren't thrown away. I've written more about how to protect your rankings when moving to Shopify.
Ongoing development for established stores
Once a store is live, the work rarely stops. I look after stores month to month with new collections and landing pages, seasonal promotions, app changes, product updates and fixes when something isn't right. You deal with me directly, so changes don't sit in a queue.
