Why choose me to help you with your store?
I am flexible and I won’t limit you to a certain number of books or a set template of what I will provide for you. I understand that every author is different and wants different things from their store.
You can hire me to make your site look pretty, upload your books for you, or build the whole thing from scratch. My rate card is at the bottom of the page. I charge by the hour, rather than an upfront set fee, as I know from experience that Shopify builds rarely fit into a standard package. I am scrupulously fair and an hourly rate means I won’t overcharge on smaller sites, and if things take longer than expected I am paid for my time.
Please look at my portfolio page for examples of different sites I have worked on.
If you already have a site, or part of a site, and want a bit of help, I’d be happy to take a look for you.
Once your site is built I won’t abandon you. I offer ongoing support for when you want to make changes and add new books (at my normal hourly rate) but I will also show you how to look after your own site and provide you with all the resources you need. My aim is that you will be able to manage your site by yourself. There will be changes you’ll want to make in the future and you need to know how to look after your own store.
See below for my standard terms and conditions. Please read these before contacting me with your enquiry.
Do send me a message and I’ll be in touch with my availability.
