About

I'm Phil, a senior Shopify developer with over 12 years' experience in Web Development and the last 6 building and refining storefronts for e-commerce brands in Shopify. My core stack is JavaScript and TypeScript, with deep expertise in Liquid and Online Store 2.0 theme development, from fully custom builds to extending and modernising existing themes.

Most of my work sits where themes, apps and data meet: moving app integrations onto App Blocks, untangling script conflicts, and making sure GA4 and Klaviyo tracking is correct. I work regularly with Klaviyo, Recharge, Rebuy, Algolia and Judge.me, and I focus on performance and conversion: Core Web Vitals, product page clarity and mobile UX.

As more stores are edited with Shopify Sidekick, Canvas, ChatGPT or Cursor, I review and repair AI-generated theme code: a written list of what is broken or risky, fixes on a development theme, and checks that app blocks, tracking and theme updates still work afterwards.

I work in small, reversible steps: build and review on a development theme, preserve existing customisations, and publish only after sign-off. I'm comfortable owning a project end to end or providing senior cover inside an existing team.

Phil has been great to work with. He’s very friendly, does what he says he’s going to do, and is always good about getting back to you. I also really appreciate that he shares his thoughts and recommendations instead of just doing the bare minimum. Definitely recommend working with Phil. Thanks again, Phil. I greatly appreciate everything!

FAQ

What types of Shopify projects do you specialise in?
Theme development and customisation on Online Store 2.0 (Liquid plus JavaScript and TypeScript), full store builds, app integrations (Klaviyo, Rebuy, Recharge, Algolia), performance optimisation, and conversion-focused UX. I am comfortable owning a build end to end or dropping into an existing store to fix one specific problem.
Do you work with existing themes, or do I need a custom build?
Both. Most of my clients have an existing theme (Dawn, Impulse, Prestige, Horizon, Savor, Out of the Sandbox themes) that needs extending or cleaning up, and I also build new stores from scratch. Either way I work on a duplicate development theme, so your live store is never at risk and nothing publishes without your sign-off.
What's your typical turnaround time?
For scoped tasks such as a bug fix, a new section or an app integration, usually two to five business days. For larger builds and phased projects I give you a milestone timeline upfront. You will not be left waiting and wondering, I communicate progress throughout.
