FAQs · United Kingdom

Common questions from British founders.

Do you work with British clients?

Yes — a meaningful share of my retainer and project work is with United Kingdom-based clients across DTC, B2B, and editorial verticals. 9am–6pm GMT/BST callable.

What does a Shopify build for a British brand cost?

A senior independent Shopify build typically runs $15,000–$50,000 USD (GBP equivalent at current rates), depending on scope. Stock theme setups cost less. Shopify Plus migrations run higher.

Can you handle GBP payment processing?

Yes. Shopify Payments, Stripe, and regional gateways. For United Kingdom-specific regional payment methods, I work with the provider that best fits the merchant.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes — retainer engagements start at 10 hours/month and scale up. Most clients move to retainer after launch for continued CRO, speed, and feature work.

How do invoicing and contracts work for United Kingdom?

Contracts in USD with standard MSA + SOW structure. Payment via Wise, Stripe, or bank transfer in your local currency at conversion. Invoices monthly for retainers, milestone-based for projects.
