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 costs you.

For 15+ years, I've optimized Shopify stores for businesses doing $500K+ monthly. I treat speed as a revenue problem, not just a technical checkbox.

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

Key Results:

  • 7→65 mobile score for apparel brand, protecting $18K+ in Black Friday sales

  • 74% faster load times across product pages and checkout

  • 100+ projects delivered for brands in US, Canada, UK, and Australia

What I Fix:

  • Slow product pages killing conversions

  • Checkout delays causing cart abandonment

  • App bloat dragging down performance

  • Speed apps that didn't actually work

How I Work:

  1. Diagnostic audit identifies actual bottlenecks (not guesswork)

  2. Phased implementation - you approve each milestone

  3. 90-day post-launch support

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

Erick was great. But the priving strucute of one hour per task - no matter the simplicity, doesnt work for our needs.

The bonus of working with Erick is he understands process, flow and business practice. This is the 2nd project he has done for us and both have been on time and on point.

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 2 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.
