Growth adds apps, quick fixes and people. Before long, your store is

plastered together.

A theme nobody dares touch. Copy changes that need a developer. Apps breaking other apps. Three stores, three times the work. Conversion down, and nobody knows why. Keys held by someone who left.

Everyone patches their own piece. Nobody owns the whole store.

The promise

Find what it's costing. Fix what pays. Keep one person on it.

Before you sign off a big project, it helps to know what's actually broken and what it's costing you. So that's where I start with every brand, before anything gets built.

All services

  1. Start here

    01

    Find what it's costing

    I go through your store properly: the data, the theme, the apps and checkout. You get a report that lists every problem I find, puts a cost against each one, and says which three I'd fix first. And if the store's in good shape, I'll tell you that too.

  2. Fix what pays

    Work through the list in order of return: tracking put right, apps replaced with what Shopify already does, speed, checkout. Every change measured before and after.

    • Tracking
    • Apps
    • Speed
    • Checkout

  3. Rebuild when the data says so

    A custom theme, a move to Shopify Plus, or three stores brought into one. Only when the numbers say a clean-up won't do it.

    • Custom theme
    • Plus migration
    • Markets

  4. Keep it earning

    A set amount of senior time every month, from the same person, so nothing sits in a ticket queue and someone who knows the store is there on launch day.

    • Retained
    • Fractional

The proof

Why brands leave agencies for one person.
