You talk directly to the person who builds it.
No salesperson, no project manager, no handover. I take the meeting, draw the page and write the code. No salesperson, no project manager, no handover. I take the meeting, draw the page and write the code, and I answer when something breaks a year later.
- How it works
- Most of the time it is ongoing work. Every week we find something to improve in the store, I build it and we test it. A rebuild or a migration I do as its own project.
- What you get
- Code and design. I build themes, apps and Plus features, and draw the pages myself before I code them. If you want to test something before it stays, I set up an A/B test.
One person, no handovers.
- No project manager in between You describe the problem straight to the person who will build it. You describe the problem to me directly. Nothing gets lost being passed on, and the estimate comes from the person who will build it.
- We measure before we rebuild First the numbers on where visitors drop off, then the build. First the numbers on where visitors drop off, then the build. Guessing is the most expensive way to rebuild a store.
- My bugs are free If the fault is mine I fix it without invoicing. If the fault is mine I fix it without invoicing, however long afterwards it turns up. That is why I would rather build something simple than something impressive.
Short version
I'm Fabian Genell, a Swedish Shopify developer from Stockholm. I prefer working on Shopify Plus but take on any Shopify store. I do both the review and the build myself.
The difference from an agency
- Who does the work
- A salesperson, a project manager and then a developer.
- I take the meeting and build it myself.
- What you pay for
- Meetings, check-ins and the work changing hands.
- The time it takes to build.
- Range
- Separate teams for development, design and CRO.
- Development, design and CRO from the same person.
- Pace
- Ideas wait in the backlog for the next sprint.
- Small improvements go out every week.
Now you know who answers.
The first reply says what I would do first in your store. If you would rather talk, I suggest a couple of times.
