Shopify & Shopify Plus · For Funded DTC Founders

Ship a Shopify store your investors will
brag about — in 14 days.

Cookie-cutter Dawn themes and freelancers who ghost after launch are quietly killing your CAC payback. I build founder-grade Shopify stores — premium design, sub-2s mobile load, and PDPs engineered to convert paid traffic from day one.

The Gap

Your store isn't broken.
It's just bleeding.

Every percentage point of conversion you leak compounds across every dollar of ad spend. Here's what changes when you stop renting a template and start owning a system.

Where most startups are

  • —Free Dawn theme that looks identical to 40,000 other stores
  • —4.2s mobile load destroying your Meta ROAS
  • —Checkout drop-off you can't diagnose, let alone fix
  • —PDPs that read like a spec sheet instead of selling a story
  • —A $400 freelancer who disappears the day after launch

What I ship you

  • +Custom design that signals premium pricing and brand authority
  • +Sub-2s mobile load · 90+ Lighthouse · paid-traffic ready
  • +Frictionless checkout with funnel analytics wired from day one
  • +PDPs structured around the actual buying decision
  • +A senior partner who stays 30 days post-launch — minimum
The Build

Three pillars. One revenue-grade store.

No bolt-on apps that fight each other. No theme bloat. Just a Shopify build engineered the way an in-house team would do it — if you could afford one.

01

Custom Store Architecture

Figma-to-Liquid builds on a clean foundation. Headless-ready, version-controlled, engineered to scale past 7 figures without a rebuild.

02

Conversion-Engineered UX

Every section earns its scroll. PDPs structured around objections, not specs. Cart and checkout tuned to recover the 68% of revenue most stores lose between "Add to Cart" and "Pay."

CRO · A/B-tested patterns · funnel analytics

03

Speed & Core Web Vitals

90+ Lighthouse, sub-2s LCP on 4G mobile — guaranteed. Lazy-loaded media, optimized Liquid, and a critical-path audit so paid traffic actually lands.

Flagship Build

From a $99 theme to a paid-traffic engine — in two weeks.

A US-based DTC skincare brand, post-seed, was burning $42K/mo on Meta against a 1.1% conversion rate. We replaced their Dawn theme with a custom-architected Shopify store, rebuilt the PDP around objections, and shipped to production in 14 days.

"Adnan is extremely prompt and professional. He always goes above and beyond. The new build paid for itself in the first month of paid traffic."

FAQs

The questions every smart founder asks first.

Can you really build a custom store in 14 days? +
Yes — and I've done it 300+ times. The trick isn't speed; it's a battle-tested process and a focused scope. We define exactly what ships in v1, and everything else moves to a clear v2 roadmap.
What does a typical Shopify project cost? +
Most flagship Shopify builds for funded startups land between $4K–$12K, fixed-price. You'll know the exact number after the strategy call — no hourly surprises, no change orders unless you expand scope.
Do you work with US and UK clients remotely? +
Exclusively. 90% of my clients are US or UK founders. Async-first with daily Loom updates, overlap your business hours for calls, and everything is escrow-protected through Upwork.
What if I'm not technical? +
Most of my best clients aren't. You bring the brand and the customer obsession. I translate that into a store your team can actually run — with a 1-hour handoff session and written Loom walkthroughs of every section.
What happens after launch? +
30 days of post-launch support is included on every project. After that, most clients move to a lightweight monthly retainer so I stay on call for new sections, A/B tests, and seasonal launches.
