About

shopexpert since: March 2025

Speed & Performance Specialist for Shopify Stores

Your store is slow. I make it fast - and show you exactly how much revenue that speed improvement generates.

For 15+ years, I've optimized Shopify stores for businesses doing $500K+ annual revenue. I treat speed as a revenue problem, not just a technical checkbox - every optimization ties directly to business impact.

Available Mon-Fri 7am-3pm EST. Flexible scheduling for urgent pre-launch issues.

What I Do:

Performance Optimization: Diagnostic audits followed by multi-phase implementation (CSS optimization, script lazy-loading, image conversion). Target: 60-80 point mobile score improvements, 75-85% faster load times. Recent: Apparel brand went from 7→65 mobile score in 3 weeks before Black Friday.

Analytics & Conversion Tracking: Enterprise-level GTM + GA4 + Customer Events setup. Full customer journey tracking with proper attribution. Recent: Deployed 30 tags across dual stores, fixed 1,100+ Search Console errors.

Custom Development: Node.js applications, API integrations, subscription migrations, custom checkout logic. Recent: Automated CSV-to-product pipeline processing 500+ entries.

Retainer Partnerships: Proactive monitoring and monthly optimization sprints for select clients (limited availability).

How I Work:

  1. Audit before quote (2-4 hours analyzing actual bottlenecks)

  2. Realistic targets (65-80 score improvements, not "guaranteed 100")

  3. Phased milestones with testing at each stage

  4. ROI-focused (revenue impact over vanity metrics)

Best Fit: Stores doing $500K+ annual revenue where slow speed is actively costing conversions.

Erick has once again been great to work with. Collaborating with him on the requirements is straightforward as he will always clearly outline the agreed work before starting on the project and makes a clear time and cost assessment. He also delivered everything as requested and quickly so I will definitely be using his services again in the future.

FAQ
How much will this cost?

I provide accurate quotes only after reviewing your store setup. This protects both of us from scope creep and ensures you don't pay for work you don't need. To get started, I'll need collaborator access to your store, or we can schedule a quick discovery call.

How long will this take?

Timeline depends on project complexity. Simple fixes: 1-3 days. Theme customizations: 1-2 weeks. Complex integrations: 2-4 weeks. I'll provide a specific timeline in your proposal after reviewing your requirements.

How does payment work?

I work through Shopexperts.com, which holds your payment in escrow until you approve the completed work. This protects you - you don't release payment until you're satisfied, and I'm assured payment once the work is done as agreed.

What do you need from me to get started?

To provide an accurate quote, I need collaborator access to your Shopify store. In your admin: Settings → Users → Security → Code. Once I have the code, I'll send a collaborator request to review your setup.

What if I'm not happy with the work?

You review everything before approving payment release. I work in a draft theme so you can test changes before they go live. If something isn't right, I'll adjust it - that's included in the project scope.

Do you offer ongoing support?

Yes. I offer support packages with discounted hourly rates: 25 hours ($90/hr), 50 hours ($85/hr), or 75 hours ($80/hr). Packages are valid for 3 months. Many clients find this more cost-effective for ongoing maintenance and updates.

Can you work with my deadline?

I work on a first-payment, first-scheduled basis. Once payment clears, I lock in your start date. If my timeline doesn't work for your deadline, I'll let you know upfront and can recommend another developer.

What's your hourly rate?

$95/hour with a 1-hour minimum. For larger projects, I provide fixed-price quotes based on scope. Support packages offer discounted rates ($80-90/hour) for ongoing work.
