+ purchasing a theme (~ $180 - $485 USD, one-time fee)

All sales are final, regardless of if the project is completed or not. If you choose to cancel the project, or walk away at any point during the setup process, no refund will be issued. I cannot guarantee that you will make any sales, as that completely depends on your own marketing and advertising efforts. I cannot guarantee that your site will score high on Google's PageSpeed Insights, or that you will rank on the first page of search results. If for any unforeseen reasons, the site cannot be completed on time, no refunds will be given.
I have to note the above, to protect myself, as I can't afford to work on projects for multiple weeks for free. I have never had a situation where a project hasn't been completed, or where I've drastically missed a deadline (with the only exceptions being in a couple of cases where a client has gone MIA for personal reasons, thus delaying the project on their end). I take my work very seriously, and I always act with maximum professionalism. So with that said, I promise to do my absolute best to complete your project, to the highest quality possible, within your deadline for completion.
It's important to note that I work primarily via email. Aside from an initial call/chat at the start of the project (for new stores & migrations only), we will be communicating exclusively via email. This allows me to easily share links, screenshots, and videos - as I provide updates throughout the project. It also allows us to work async, meaning that we don't need to be online at the same time throughout the project. This is important on my end, as I work with clients from all over the world, and I need the flexibility of schedule in order to successfully work on multiple projects at the same time. With that said, I pride myself on my response times, and I will always reply within 1 business day, or else sooner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about my services and how I work with my clients.
I normally require payment in full, before starting your project. In some cases (for larger projects) I will allow the project to be split into more than one payment - this is something that would need to be negotiated before you place your order.
If I were to take your money and run away, it's very easy for you to get your money back, by filing a claim with PayPal. However, it's very hard for me to enforce payment, if a client decides to walk away or not pay at the end. For those reasons, I normally require full payment at the start.
Absolutely! As I go through the setup process, I will share with you (via email) what I have done, either via links or screenshots, and then you can let me know if anything needs to be changed or edited. Most of the time, I'm able to get things working to my clients' satisfaction within 1 or 2 edits.
I normally quote ~30 days for completion, though some projects may take less or more time. Since I'm paid per project, and not per hour, there is no benefit to me taking longer than necessary to complete your project. I will do my best to complete things as quickly as possible (without cutting any corners).
I am pretty flexible when it comes to changes and additions throughout the project. If it's something small that you'd like to add, then there's usually no problems in doing a bit extra. It's only if things drastically change that we would have to consider project scopes and fair use of my time. I handle all additional requests on a case-by-case basis, and most of the time I can accommodate additional requests at no extra charge.
It's hard to say how many hours a given project will take, as each project is unique and has different requirements.
I do not charge an hourly rate. It doesn't make sense for me to charge per hour, as I'm very efficient at my work. I would essentially be earning less than I'm worth, as I can get most things done quicker than other Experts.
As I work exclusively with Shopify, I know the platform very well. Other Experts may support a variety of platforms, so they may not be as well-versed with Shopify, since they spread their time over multiple platforms. The only times that I work with other platforms, is when my clients are leaving them for Shopify. I know just enough about the other platforms to be able to get data off of them, but I focus the bulk of my attention on learning and staying up-to-date with Shopify exclusively.
A 'development' store is essentially a new Shopify store/account which is in a perpetual trial period. It allows us to setup a large portion of the site, at our own speed (no time limitations), and without being charged Shopify's monthly fee. It's worth noting that development stores cannot process sales (or else folks would just use development stores, and wouldn't have to ever pay monthly fees). Any development store can be instantly turned into a regular paid store, by selecting a monthly Shopify plan.
I normally prefer to start on a fresh store, but if you would really like me to work off of an existing store, then I can do that.
After your store is launched, if you have any questions about how things work, where to find specific settings, want recommendations on apps or best practices -- then you can reach out to me (via email) and I'll help you, for the length of your support period, at no additional charge.
Yes, I work with clients from around the world.
Yes, building Shopify websites is how I make the bulk of my income.
I live and work out of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada.
I am regularly available from 12PM to 8PM (Pacific Time), Monday - Friday, minus all Canadian statutory holidays.
Sometimes, I do. It kind of depends on the holiday, or if I have any plans for the weekend. If you'd like to launch your new store on a weekend, then I can accommodate that request (you just need to let me know ahead of time).
Shopify does have 24/7 live support channels, where you can speak to an actual Shopify employee, if something is going wrong with your store. It's very rare though, that anything can go wrong with a store. Unless you've deleted something vital, or have been hacked, then your store can't really break down on itself.
No, you do not need to show either of these at the bottom of your site. By default, I will add the "Designed by SW" text to the bottom of each site I do. You're welcome to request that either (or both) of these to be removed though.
No, you don't have to leave a review. With that said, reviews are my livelihood. Without reviews, I do not get ranked in the Shopify Experts search results, and thus, don't get any leads for future projects. I need reviews, in order to continue to get leads from Shopify, so I would strongly encourage and ask for you to consider leaving a review at the end of the project.
No, your site does not have to be featured on the homepage of Stephen's World. You can ask to be removed from my homepage at any time. However, it's worth noting that it's mutually beneficial to have your site on my homepage, as it allows me to show off my work to prospective clients, and it provides you with a valuable backlink (which can help your SEO).
No, I am technically a freelancer, so I am my own boss. However, Shopify does provide me with leads for projects, based on my past setup and migration history. I rely almost exclusively on the Shopify Experts leads system for finding clients/work.
For stores that I create from scratch, Shopify does pay me a percentage of their monthly fees, for up to 3 years. Aside from that, no, Shopify does not pay me a salary or retainer for being a Shopify Expert.
I do not have an official discount or commission system for referrals. However, I am open to this, especially if you think you can refer more than one person. Please reach out to me via email, to discuss possible commissions and discounts for referrals.
No, I do not make any kind of kickback or commission from any of the apps or themes that I recommend.

Due to recent Shopify changes to pagination settings; I can no longer show all of my reviews here (as this is custom-coded liquid pagination, rather than an actual reviews app), so I've limited it to only reviews since May 2017 (essentially, excluding reviews from my time in the Shopify call center). The number at the top is an accurate count of my total reviews though. When I have some free time, I'll find a better solution for this.
- I was looking for someone to give my website a much needed redesign. I was very pleased with the results. Stephen was very thorough in diagnosing what was needed. He made a comprehensive list of action items and knocked them off in an appropriate amount of time. I wouldn't hesitate to use Stephen again.
June 27, 2025
- Stephen really leaned in on my project from the first outreach. I’m new to Shopify and first time e-commerce launcher. Stephen invested the time to learn about the outcomes I was looking to deliver. He challenged me a bunch while tying his logic and experience back to what I was looking to do but within the context of the SHOP platform. That was the key for me. Helped me crystallize the customer journey, design, themes, Apps to embed, tons of iteration on questions, guides, docs, curated some videos for me!, super super helpful. Would not have been able to get to where I am now without him. We’re live! 57 days of elapsed time from my initial outreach to production. Pretty damn cool for me anyway. Huge thanks again.
June 12, 2025
- Stephen has been absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly recommend his work to anyone that is looking to revamp their site or migrate onto Shopify.

I will 100% work with Stephen in the future for any other projects.

- We planned to migrate our existing Squarespace website to Shopify and discovered that while the new platform is robust with features, it wasn’t as intuitive as we had hoped. This left us frustrated—until we found Stephen's World. Stephen is not only highly experienced in Shopify but also excels at recommending solutions, patiently guiding us with videos, and responding promptly. Having worked with many freelancers, I can confidently say Stephen stands out as truly exceptional. If you're looking for a Shopify expert, you’ll be in great hands. It’s worth mentioning that we’ve never met or spoken on the phone, yet our project has been progressing smoothly with outstanding results.
December 22, 2024
- I selected Stephen to help create our new Shopify website after carrying out a lot of research. I'm delighted to say that I made a great choice.

I highly recommend his services.

August 23, 2024
- The scope of work was a complex ERP integration from Magento to Shopify with 2200 plus active items with over 100k data points. Stephen was technically very capable and knowledgeable, easy to work with and very responsive. He was extremely patient. The project was to launch in 30 to 45 days from date of engagement, but dragged on for months due to third party ERP software company integration issues out of our and Stephen’s control. We would highly recommend him for more complex migrations.

What I value most is how quickly he responds to emails and how thoroughly he answers questions (he's even made videos to show me how to do something on the site!) I appreciate his suggestions for improvement, his support in helping me become independent with adjustments, and his ability to understand decisions from my perspective. It's reassuring to know that Stephen is there if things get too technical or I want to implement changes in my business. Highest recommendation!
March 29, 2024
- I had a great experience working with Stephen to setup our site for B2B. He gave us exactly what I requested but went the extra mile and made suggestions on optimization none of the last 3 Shopify experts had noticed. I’m currently setting up our next project with Stephen and am happy we finally found someone who’s a true expert and who truly cares. Very highly recommended!

August 10, 2023
- Excellent Service, would highly recommend and would absolutely use again if the need arise in the future.
July 31, 2023

July 20, 2023
- Stephen is fantastic to work with. He revamped our site beautifully exactly how we asked, his communication was always fast and clear, and he gave his professional advice when needed. We love how everything turned out and highly recommend Stephen's World! Thank you, Stephen!

He is neat, and organized, and does a great technical job with Shopify, he knows it inside out. One of the best decisions we have made with our business was to hire Stephen. We would strongly recommend anyone who needs help building a Shopify store use Stephen. We will work with him in the future for sure.
May 31, 2023
- Stephen provided an accurate design after I provided basic feedback. Changes were made quickly, and communication was prompt throughout the project. He provided recommendations for improvements and app add-ons to make the website better.
May 29, 2023
- Not sure I'll be able to convey in words just how Amazing the experience was with Stephen, he exceeded my expectations and then some. First off my project was NOT easy, we have 2 sites: 1 Canadian and 1 US site with VERY similar parts on both but VERY different needs for each site. We must have about 20 emails back and forth before he even sent me an invoice as he wanted to fully understand my projects, my needs AND my expectations. As a business owner I know why he did this, he wanted to make sure that our expectations are aligned so there are no misunderstandings at projects end, not everyone does this. I had my ideas of how I wanted the design and being the business owner I obviously know a LOT more than the person I hired to help me right? WRONG. Stephen did exactly what I needed him to do; he intellectually challenged my design ideas, although I didn't like it at first he gave me solutions that I was able to both understand and visualize. That takes courage and confidence, this is what I needed as if I really knew better I wouldn't have needed him in the 1st place. Please have confidence that when you select Stephen you will not be disappointed in the work, his level of communication and his commitment to your business. I know who I will be turning to anytime I have needs for any future Shopify sites, thanks Stephen...AMAZING work!!
February 28, 2023
- It was a GREAT experience working with Stephen on our e-commerce store migration. Despite my reservation about his "no live phone/virtua contact" policy, the process was smooth and execution was on point and faster than I was expecting! Stephen is an excellent written communicator and his clear and concise questions/responses kept the process moving on a daily basis. He made several great recommendations and completely understands e-commerce sites. I also felt like he was generally interested and invested in the success of the website and our business. I highly recommend Stephen's World if you like effective communication and flawless and timely execution.
October 21, 2022
- Thank you Stephen for your help with my project! I know you had a very short notice, but you did deliver on time! Professionalism, Communications, Delivery Dates. I will definitely use Stephen's services in a near future again. Serge.
August 24, 2022
- Very easy to communicate with, great understanding of solution required and was willing to walk the extra mile. He was very patient with all of the changes and the final outcome looks great! Definitely recommended.
June 23, 2022
- S-T-E-P-H-E-N!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW - I absolutely LOVE the website! The colors are perfect, I love you used the font for Pacabella for the heading, love how you added the photos in, the BIG pic of the alpaca with the info on the left is awesome and the website looks soooo good on a mobile device - you did an outstanding job - it's EXACTLY what I was looking for!! This project was a migration from Volusion to Shopify. It included help with migrating all pages, products, customers, orders, collections, and blogs. Stephen also helped with app recommendations and setup, as well as with learning how to use the Shopify platform. I would give Stephen 10 stars if it was possible!
May 18, 2022
- Stephen made this migrating process to Shopify incredibly easy. I couldn’t be more happy with his communication and attention to detail. His detailed response to any questions I had was awesome. I couldn’t be more happy with our new website and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stephen’s World.
April 13, 2022
- Im really glad we found Stephen on the list of Experts. We felt better having a local (Canada) expert that understands the taxes, shipping, bilingual and other special needs for our new webstore. As a small business, changing platforms after 8 years can sound daunting (time consuming, learning curve and expensive). Having Stephen assist us with this project from A to Z was worth the price. We could focus on what we do best , knowing that Stephen is 100% dedicated to the task. What I really appreciate about Stephen, is that he answers questions in complete sentences, complete details, and links. Although the project has terminated, Stephen still answers my last few questions. I highly recommend!
April 06, 2022
- Would give him 10 out 10 if I could! Excellent, prompt communications, knows exactly what he's doing and if not he would help you to find answers. I have very high standards and Stephen has definitely showed his expertise and is worth the investment. I enjoyed working with him and will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thank you Stephen!
January 16, 2022
- When we decided to upgrade our robust and busy site to Shopify, choosing Stephen to do the work proved to be a sound decision. Stephen is a pleasure to work with. He answered questions promptly and to my schedule, was on point with advice and managed the migration of our site seamlessly. Highly recommend.
January 15, 2022
- Working with Stephen was overall a very positive experience and I would highly recommend his services. His communication is top notch! Definitely one of his best qualities while completing a large project that involve technical details I know little about. I am very happy with his redesign recommendations and happy with the overall look and functionality of my new website. 5 stars from us at CheeseMaker.ca. I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again in the future. Thanks for everything Stephen!
October 06, 2021
- Stephen was excellent all the way around. My only issue was wanting to be able to speak on the phone with him if needed as he is email only but he did respond promptly to emails.
September 28, 2021
- From our initial email with Stephen to explore the feasibility of the work, it was clear that Stephen possessed the experience and knowledge to deliver our project.

- Working with Stephen's World has been a rewarding experience. We needed someone who understood Shopify's platform, that grasped our overall concept and had the ability to work through the process of making it a reality. Combining artistic aptitude, technical knowledge and prompt communications, he was able to successfully transfer our company's "feel" into the finished website. If you have a Shopify website idea, and are looking for help in bringing that idea to life, we'd recommend Stephen's World for the job.

- Stephen was excellent in his communication every step of the way. I am used to phone communication, but being only through email he did a great job in quick replies and organized emails for tasks needed and goals completed. His pricing was more than fair and I appreciated his help throughout. He really made the process easy. I would highly recommend!

I strongly recommend Stephen for anything you need and the 5 stars are truly well earned.

He made some great suggestions and recommendations as to which apps might work to best support my business and what I was trying to accomplish with my new website.

Stephen managed to make this work in no time (less than 24 hrs) and he also added a custom-coded currency switcher. Because of his outstanding work, I was able to get rid of two app-subscriptions that saved me at least $15 USD per month. An excellent expert with a professional and highly professional approach. I will definetly come back, if I need his help again! Many, many thanks! Andreas from trainsim.store

I would totally recommend the services to anyone who needs advice and help on their website.
June 28, 2017

Not many people can work with me because of my perfectionism and this man was able to do so with great patience and kindness. I can’t begin to tell you how many people have come to me already after one day and expressed how much they liked my website. Everything works quickly and smoothly. I do not think you can find a better web designer then Stephen. If you don’t believe me check out my website and you’ll see what I’m saying is true. His pricing is so reasonable for all that he does. I’ve had other web designers want double the cost and they could not have delivered the quality website that he did. As you can tell I am his number one fan. So if you’re looking for the best, Stephen is it! Kind regards, Cherokee Billie
