Service — Shopify development · UK · Europe · US · GCC
I'm Inshaal Shahid, a freelance Shopify developer who builds and customises Shopify stores for brands in the UK, Europe, the US and the Gulf: custom Dawn-based themes, Liquid sections and apps like Klaviyo and Judge.me. Stores start from $600 and typically launch in 2–3 weeks, with a fixed quote before work begins.
01 — Cost
A Shopify store build with me starts from $600. The final price depends on the number of custom pages, the apps to set up and the size of your catalogue, and you get a fixed quote after a short call, so it doesn't change mid-project.
Extras are priced openly in my website cost calculator, and smaller fixes on an existing store are $10–15 per hour.
02 — Timeline
Most Shopify stores take about 2–3 weeks from approved design to launch. A store with automation built in, such as WhatsApp order confirmations, takes about 3–4 weeks.
You get a live preview link and progress updates every few days, so you always know where the build stands.
03 — Scope
Theme setup and customisation, product and collection pages, payments, shipping and app setup, and a mobile-first checkout flow. The base build covers up to 5 custom pages and up to 20 products uploaded.
04 — Apps
Klaviyo, Judge.me, Smile.io, Seal Subscriptions, UpCart and Shop Pay are all apps I've set up on a live US store. I wire them into the theme so reviews, subscribe-and-save options, rewards and email capture look like part of your brand, not bolted-on widgets.
05 — Why a freelancer
You pay less and talk directly to the developer writing your theme code. Agencies often start at $5,000+ with 4–8 week timelines and a manager in between; I work at a fixed price or $10–15 per hour, reply within 24 hours and include 2 weeks of free support after launch.

07 — Process
A short call or WhatsApp chat about your products, apps and references gets you a fixed quote and timeline the same day. I design in Figma or work from your files, and nothing gets coded until you approve it. Most projects kick off within 48 hours.
08 — Work
Case study — E-commerce · USA
Twenty2 Nutrition is a US brand selling supplements, protein and women's activewear. As a freelance project I built its storefront on Shopify's Dawn theme, extended with custom Liquid sections the team rearranges from the theme editor, and wired in Seal Subscriptions, UpCart, Judge.me, Smile.io and Klaviyo.
09 — FAQ
Both. Most stores I build start from Shopify's Dawn theme, extended with custom Liquid sections so your team can rearrange every block from the theme editor without code. If you already have a theme you like, I can customise it instead.
