Selected work

Look beyond the thumbnail. Each project page explains the storefront context, recorded contribution and available evidence, so you can assess work relevant to your own brief.

Shopify Plus & connected commerce

Make the customer journey and the operations agree.

A wholesale order, international sale or subscription touches more than the theme. Plan the storefront, Shopify capabilities and connected systems as one workflow.

We check plan requirements, data ownership and exception cases before development. The delivery map is illustrative; your scope follows your existing systems.

App expertise

Choose a working model around how much is known, how often priorities change and who will review the work. Scope, responsibilities and costs are agreed before delivery begins.

Useful to bring

From brief to handover

A clear plan. Visible progress. A useful handover.

Each stage gives you something concrete to review, so design and technical decisions stay connected to the brief.

  1. Understand & scope

    Review your store, customers, systems and constraints. Separate essential requirements from assumptions and agree what successful delivery needs to include.

    You review: priorities, dependencies and an agreed scope.

  2. Design & build

    Resolve the customer journeys and technical approach, then share working previews at agreed checkpoints. Review the storefront and merchant editing experience together.

    You review: designs, working features and recorded decisions.

  3. Test & launch

    Check representative devices, realistic content, forms, purchase scenarios and connected systems. Resolve the agreed release blockers and prepare the launch.

    You receive: release checks, handover notes and a launch plan.

  4. Support & improve

    Use customer feedback, store data and your next business priorities to plan follow-up releases through a focused project, development hours or ongoing support.

    You keep: documented controls and a prioritized next-step backlog.

What can Vivek Codes own from strategy through delivery?

Vivek can lead discovery, storefront strategy, UX/UI direction, Shopify theme architecture, Liquid development, app and API decisions, responsive QA, analytics requirements and launch handover. The scope is built around the business problem rather than forcing every engagement into a full redesign.

Specialists are involved only where the work needs them, while solution ownership and delivery communication remain founder-led.

Should we improve our existing Shopify theme or rebuild it?

An existing theme is worth improving when its structure is stable, merchant workflows are understandable and the required changes can be delivered without creating more duplication. Focused work can include new sections, product-page UX, navigation, search, merchandising, accessibility, analytics events or an integration repair.

A rebuild becomes more responsible when brittle code, duplicated templates, conflicting apps or weak content architecture make every release risky. The recommendation follows an audit, not a preference for larger projects.

Review theme customization
Do you work with Shopify Plus, B2B and international stores?

Yes. Relevant work can cover Shopify Plus storefronts, B2B and wholesale buying journeys, Shopify Markets, complex catalogs, Checkout Extensibility, Shopify Functions, customer account extensions and connected operational workflows.

The proposed architecture is checked against the store's Shopify plan, markets, customer types and back-office systems so unsupported features are not presented as simple configuration.

Explore Shopify Plus development
How do you decide between an app, custom code and an API integration?

The decision starts with the workflow, data ownership and exception cases. A proven app may be the responsible choice when it covers the requirement cleanly. Theme code can suit storefront behavior that belongs close to the presentation layer. A custom app or API integration is considered when business logic, system ownership or data movement cannot be handled safely off the shelf.

Ongoing cost, API limits, merchant controls, failure recovery and maintenance responsibility are reviewed before implementation.

Understand app and integration work
How are Shopify projects scoped and priced?

Defined outcomes with stable acceptance criteria can use a fixed scope. Evolving backlogs, investigations and smaller improvements can use development hours. A monthly retainer suits continuing release roadmaps where priorities need to change without creating a new proposal for every task.

The recommended model depends on uncertainty, dependencies and how often the merchant team expects priorities to move. Prices are not invented before the scope is understood.

Compare fixed scope, hours and retainers
What information do you need before providing a recommendation?

Share the store URL, the customer or operational problem, your Shopify plan, important apps and integrations, known constraints, and any genuine decision or launch date. Analytics, screenshots, support themes and earlier research are useful when they exist.

A polished brief is not required. Discovery is used to separate confirmed requirements from assumptions before technical work is estimated.

Send your project context
What do QA, launch and merchant handover include?

QA is planned around the scope and representative customer states. It can include mobile, tablet and desktop layouts; keyboard navigation; realistic content lengths; variants and inventory states; forms; app behavior; analytics events; reduced motion and the operational rules most likely to fail.

Handover can include theme-editor guidance, release notes, configuration documentation, known limitations and a clear route for post-launch support.

Explore ongoing Shopify support
Will we work directly with Vivek, and can support continue after launch?

Yes. Vivek leads discovery, solution direction and delivery communication, with specialists added only where their skills are genuinely required. This keeps accountability close to the technical and commercial decisions.

After launch, support can continue through defined development hours or a monthly roadmap covering releases, theme improvements, app changes, automation, integrations and issue investigation.
