Yes, I work 100% remotely with clients worldwide. I'm based in Bratislava, Slovakia, but primarily serve US-based e-commerce brands. All communication happens via video calls, email, and project management tools. Time zone differences are never an issue—I'm flexible with meeting times.

I specialize in:
- Shopify and Shopify Plus (primary focus)
- WooCommerce (WordPress)
- Custom platforms (Laravel, React, Node.js)
- Headless commerce solutions

If you're on a different platform (Magento, BigCommerce, etc.), I can help with migrations to Shopify or build a custom solution.

Both! I work with:

- Existing stores needing redesign or optimization
- Stores migrating from other platforms
- Stores scaling and needing advanced features

Whether you're at $0 or $500K/month, I can help you grow.

- Page 1 rankings for 5+ target keywords within 6 months
- Technical SEO improvements (90+ PageSpeed score, zero critical errors)
- Measurable traffic growth (clients typically see 30-50% increases)
- Transparent monthly reporting with clear metrics

All SEO work follows Google's guidelines—no black-hat tactics.

My 7-step process:
1. Discovery call (30-60 minutes to understand your needs)
2. Sitemap & information architecture (for approval)
3. Design mockups (2 rounds of revisions)
4. Development & build (staging environment for progress tracking)
5. Content & SEO setup (products, pages, optimization)
6. Testing & QA (speed, mobile, cross-browser)
7. Launch & training (with 30-day support)

You're involved at every stage with weekly updates and approvals before moving forward.

- Under 1-second load time on desktop
- 90+ Google PageSpeed score
- Green Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS)

Faster load times mean better user experience, higher conversions, and improved Google rankings. Speed optimization is included in all development projects.

No problem! I can work:

- As a consultant (technical audits and strategy)
- On specific projects (migrations, optimization, custom features)

Many clients hire me for specialized e-commerce expertise while their internal team handles other aspects of the business.

Three things:
1. Performance-first approach: Every store is optimized for speed, SEO, and conversions—not just aesthetics.

Custom e-commerce development means building your online store from scratch using frameworks like Laravel and React, instead of relying on pre-built platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce. You get full control over functionality, performance, and scalability.

Shopify is great for fast deployment. Custom development is for businesses that need unique workflows, complex integrations, subscription systems, multi-vendor logic, or advanced performance optimization beyond platform limits.

If you:

  • Need multi-vendor functionality
  • Have complex pricing/subscription models
  • Require deep API integrations
  • Expect high traffic volume
  • Want complete backend control

Then custom development is the right move.

Typically 8–12 weeks depending on complexity, integrations, and scope.

  • Technical architecture planning
  • UI implementation
  • Backend logic development
  • API integrations
  • Payment systems
  • Performance optimization
  • QA & testing
  • Deployment

Yes. Subscription billing systems with automated renewals, payment retries, and recurring revenue logic are part of my expertise.

Yes. Technical SEO is implemented from day one: clean architecture, structured data, optimized URLs, Core Web Vitals compliance.

Yes. ERP, CRM, payment gateways, shipping APIs, accounting systems, marketing automation — fully integrated.

You do. 100%. No platform lock-in.

Yes. The architecture is built for scaling (server optimization, caching layers, database optimization).

Yes. Maintenance retainers are available after launch.

Yes — because the stack is controlled, dependencies are minimal, and attack surfaces are reduced compared to plugin-heavy systems.

Yes. I’m European-based (Bratislava), serving US brands remotely.

Established brands, funded startups, and businesses generating consistent revenue that need performance, flexibility, and scalability.

Platform migration means moving your store from one system (like WooCommerce or Magento) to another (like Shopify) without losing data, SEO rankings, or revenue.

Common reasons:

  • Performance issues

  • Plugin conflicts

  • Security concerns

  • Scaling limitations

  • Maintenance complexity

No — if done properly. I implement:

  • 301 redirects

  • URL mapping

  • Metadata migration

  • Structured data preservation

Goal: Maintain and improve rankings.

4–6 weeks depending on store size and complexity.

  • Products

  • Categories

  • Customers

  • Orders

  • Reviews

  • URLs

  • Metadata

It can be replicated or improved during migration.

Minimal to none. Launch is strategically scheduled.

Yes. Most migrations include speed optimization, often achieving 90+ PageSpeed scores.

Yes. Magento → Shopify is common.

Yes. Requires custom data mapping strategy.

Integrations (Klaviyo, Mailchimp, etc.) are preserved or improved.

Yes. GA4, Meta Pixel, and tracking events are reconfigured properly.

  • Broken redirects
  • Lost metadata
  • Duplicate content
  • Improper product mapping

I eliminate those risks.

Depends on business model. I’ll recommend the platform that fits your scaling plan.
