+ monthly Shopify fee, including any apps needed (~ $50 - $150 USD per month)
+ purchasing a theme (~ $180 - $485 USD, one-time fee)
+ any advanced custom coding modifications (for those I recommend HeyCarson.com, ~ $110 USD per task)
+ graphics creation (for those I recommend Fiverr.com, ~ $25 USD per image)
+ advertising/marketing (ex. Facebook/Google ads)

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.


  • smile June 27, 2025
    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.


  • smile June 12, 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.


  • smile April 30, 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. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable in all things e-commerce and has made plenty of thoughtful and strategic recommendations as we were migrating our store which made the transition really easy. I will 100% work with Stephen in the future for any other projects.


  • smile March 10, 2025
    Stephen completed our store build on time and adhered to all the guidelines we set out. He provided us with plenty of information throughout, and set us up for success with our new site in the future. We are so excited about our new and improved website!

    It was an absolute pleasure working with Stephen. He was very organized, knowledgeable, and resourceful, while keeping our project moving forward at a great pace. I strongly recommend him for all your Shopify store needs!


  • smile February 28, 2025
    Stephen has been amazing to work with - plain and simple! Aside from being brilliant a brilliant developer, he is also highly responsive to any emails. All our asks and revisions were dealt with straight away and were accompanied by a clear and detailed breakdown of the changes implemented and any potential improvements or road blocks. We will definitely be working with him again and encourage anyone else in need of a great Shopify developer to send him a message!


  • smile January 02, 2025

    Such a great developer! Super efficient, always full of helpful suggestions, and really supportive throughout the process. Working with them was an absolute pleasure—they made everything so much smoother. Highly recommend teaming up with this person if you get the chance!


  • smile December 22, 2024
    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.


  • smile November 01, 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. His commitment to a formulaic and structured approach helped to balance my slightly more adventurous ideas. He has been supportive and informative throughout the build process and remains to be so. I highly recommend his services.


  • smile August 27, 2024
    Our website required a redesign and Stephen was very helpful and professional from start to finish. Thank you!


  • smile August 23, 2024
    Stephen's World did a great job with our migration from Lightspeed ecom to Shopify. Communication was clear and prompt throughout, and they really took the time to tailor the site to our specific needs. They also provided a ton of helpful support in other areas related to Shopify beyond just the migration from Lightspeed. Overall, we’re very satisfied with the service.


  • smile August 08, 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.


  • smile August 07, 2024
    Stephen is fantastic to work with. His response time is incredibly quick, and his expertise with Shopify surpasses anyone I’ve collaborated with before. I highly recommend working with him.


  • smile July 19, 2024
    Stephen provided exceptional support for our Shopify store. He improved our site’s functionality and user experience by setting up essential apps, enhancing navigation, and customizing product pages. His attention to detail and expertise made a significant difference. Highly recommended!


  • smile June 04, 2024
    Fast, professional, and affordable.


  • smile May 17, 2024
    Stephen was so excellent to work with. He was very quick to respond and provided detailed explanations so our team could easily comprehend and have the knowledge to make updates moving forward. He also provided very thoughtful recommendations. I will for sure be working with Stephen again the future. Do not hesitate to reach to him for all your Shopify needs.


  • smile May 08, 2024
    Stephen was awesome to work with! He was very responsive and informative in all his emails. He even sent us custom step by step videos to walk us through the process. Before we hired on Stephen our website was so frustrating to work with but now its exactly the way we want it and easier than ever. We are very happy with our experience and will recommend Stephen to anyone who is looking for website help!


  • smile April 29, 2024
    Stephen is wonderful to work with. He understood what I need and exceeded all my expectations. Then he patiently walked me through every step of how to use my new website. Hiring Stephen is one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made.


  • smile March 29, 2024
    Stephen is my #1 resource for website updates and questions. 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!


  • smile March 27, 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!


  • smile March 24, 2024
    Stephen exceeded expectations. It was immediately evident that he was a Shopify expert. He is accessible and easy to work with. Quick, knowledgeable and efficient describes him best. Will continue to use his services in the future.

  • smile February 23, 2024

  • smile August 10, 2023
    I recently had the pleasure of working with a fantastic developer who updated my Shopify theme. He was incredibly responsive, thorough, and an excellent communicator throughout the entire process. Not only did he complete the update quickly, but he also allowed me to make edits to ensure everything was exactly how I wanted it. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend this developer to anyone looking for a top-notch Shopify expert. Thanks again for your help!


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


  • smile July 20, 2023
    The decision to hire an expert was extremely beneficial for our business. It was important to work with a Canadian expert who understood our local requirements and needs. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, patient and fast... and just pleasant to work with.


  • smile July 14, 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!

  • smile May 31, 2023
    Stephen is outstanding. Great guy to work with. Does an excellent job, makes proactive recommendations, solves problems, and responds to all questions quickly. 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.


  • smile May 29, 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.


  • smile February 28, 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!!


  • smile October 21, 2022
    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.


  • smile August 24, 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.


  • smile June 23, 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.


  • smile May 18, 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!


  • smile April 13, 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.


  • smile April 06, 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!


  • smile January 16, 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!


  • smile January 15, 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.


  • smile October 06, 2021
    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!


  • smile September 28, 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.


  • smile September 24, 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. Stephen was a thorough and tidy communicator which is critical for any development project wherein a certain degree of autonomy is required. We appreciated the speed with which Stephen got to work and have been thrilled by the support since launch.


  • smile September 20, 2021
    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.


  • smile September 19, 2021
    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!


  • smile September 15, 2021
    Stephen did an amazing job for us helping us to migrate from our wordpress site to shopify, not only that but he built the new site which looks great and had it up and running in no time at all. Stephen also helps with anything you are unsure of and will even give you some advice on anything he can help with, even after the project is finished. I strongly recommend Stephen for anything you need and the 5 stars are truly well earned.


  • smile August 06, 2021
    Excellent service as always - clear instructions and prompt attention to detail. Thanks Stephen

    Stephen earns and exceeds his many 5-star reviews. The modern elegance of the websites in his portfolio were my reason for hiring him. Working with him raises the bar on what to expect in a professional experience, actually surprising me with the quality of every aspect his work and our collaboration. His communication is prompt and thorough, the guidance and solutions he offers are clear and effective, his attention to detail and ability to adapt design to the store's mission are impressive, and his patience for answering questions was deeply appreciated. His understanding of the many decisions facing the store owner in building a website kept me feeling supported and organized throughout. Working with Stephen is just plain awesome and so is the website he built for me. I can't thank him enough.


  • smile July 04, 2021
    Best money I've ever spent. I was a little reluctant to hire a Shopify expert site unseen but after researching online and reading a ton of reviews, I settled on Stephen's World and I'm glad I did. Stephen is very responsive, does quality work, and knows his stuff. 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. I can't tell you how much time I saved partnering with Stephen. If you're on the fence, just hit the button, hire Stephen and don't look back.


  • smile June 05, 2021
    Loved working with Stephen! He makes it look easy, and takes extra time to show you as well. I felt my shop was in very good hands.


  • smile May 26, 2021
    Great to work with! Highly recommend!


  • smile May 24, 2021
    I needed a lot of help setting up the store and with all the details. Stephen made it look easy, was quick, very responsive to all of my endless questions, and never lost patience with my lack of knowledge. If you need help with your site, I would highly recommend!


  • smile May 13, 2021
    Quick response time, great job, I really recommend! Kept deadlines and guided us through the project great!

    Great communication, super helpful and willing to help.


  • smile April 16, 2021
    Stephen was a dream to work with! His pricing was reasonable and his response time great. He went above and beyond answering questions for me outside of the scope of work. I would not hesitate to use him again for future projects or recommend him to others. Thank you, Stephen!


  • smile February 16, 2021
    I engaged Stephen to migrate my website from WIX to Shopify. The work was done far quicker than I anticipated and once the job was finished, I have had absolutely no issues or problems with my new website - everything was migrated over perfectly! Communication with Stephen (even from the other side of the world) has been excellent. He explains things in detail - but very clearly and is very prompt in getting back to me with my queries. Can't recommend him highly enough! Thank you Stephen for all your assistance.


  • smile February 08, 2021
    Very good experience with Stephen. Good communication and provided clear feedback as we migrated and developed my Shopify store.


  • smile February 07, 2021

    Fantastic service. Stephen made a stressful and expensive task as easy as it could be and he continues to follow up and help us even though the tasks we had agreed upon originally have been completed. The website looks great :-) Highly recommended if you need some help with your Shopify store!


  • smile January 27, 2021
    I enjoyed working with Stephen to upgrade our website. He was very professional, stuck to his word and followed through on everything we discussed during our planning phase of the project. Creating or updating a website is a big investment, but rest assured...you are in good hands with Stephen's World!


  • smile November 09, 2020
    Incredibly helpful and awesome as always! :-)


  • smile November 02, 2020
    Stephen did a great job with our project. We migrated from Volusion to Shopify, and had a lot of specific product/inventory setup which took a lot of time to do, but Stephen was here to take care of it for us. He also has great communication from start to end.


  • smile November 02, 2020
    I want to say thank you for the site, and all your help. It is greatly appreciated it, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with you on this project.


  • smile October 19, 2020

  • smile October 06, 2020
    Stephen has been great to work with. He migrated us over to Shopify from Magento 1.9, which was desperately needed. He has troubleshooted any issues that have come up with poise and professionalism. We highly recommend him, and look forward to working with Stephen in the future!


  • smile May 09, 2020
    Stephen was hired to migrate an old store and help build the new store and what a great hire it was. From the initial contact until the job was done it was a true pleasure to work with Stephen on this project. Super flexible to work with and a good sense of humour. His explanations of things I did not understand were simple, to the point and easy to understand. I cannot say enough good things about Stephen's work but I have found Rage's IT guy. I look forward to working with Stephen on further projects!!! RAGE


  • smile May 09, 2020
    Stephen was quick, helpful and very knowledgable. Highly recommend.


  • smile February 09, 2020
    GREAT JOB! EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH MY NEW STORE! Stephen's knowledge, expertise, and great communication skills made the transition of my newly redesigned online store a very smooth one. I've gone through a half dozen cart upgrades in the past and none were even close to the quality of the Shopify website I now have. I highly recommend Stephen and will definitely use him again for any website work I may need in the future.


  • smile November 11, 2019
    Stephen welcomed our unique requests and not only completed the work, but made it better than we could have expected! Stephen is a great communicator who listens well. He's super knowledgeable with great resources in his back pocket. Whenever I had a question, he would either know the answer or research until he found it. I highly recommend Stephen in all things web development.


  • smile November 11, 2019
    I found stephen on the shopify experts page, and I could not have been luckier! He is a great communicator, prompt and an expert with all shopify related items. I actually made an error on my end by importing products wrong, and he was able to recover the lost images and restore after much work...i have already referred one of my colleagues to him and would do more in a heartbeat!


  • smile July 10, 2019
    Thorough. Prompt. Informative. Stephen has lots of knowledge regarding, not only Shopify, but it's affiliate apps too. He promptly responds with thorough information, advice, and details in an organized manner. We appreciate Stephen's help and will definitely seek his advice again.

    Always helpful, polite, fast and does amazing work. Thank you so much. Will use again.


  • smile January 21, 2019
    We had an excellent experience working with Stephen. He migrated our existing Wordpress site to Shopify, including many years of content, as well as doing redirects. He kept the feel of the site very similar to our previous one (our request) while bringing a fresh new look. Above all else though, his communication was fantastic - every question we had was answered in detail even before we placed our order, and we always knew the status of the project. We would highly recommend Stephen and will use him again ourselves as needed.


  • smile January 11, 2019
    Stephen's services are Incredible.He is very patient and understanding with clients.He has amazing recommendations and very very knowledgeable about his work.He set up my whole store and provided details,explanations and steps.I am highly impressed,will use his services and definitely recommend.Excellent Job Stephen.

    Stephen went beyond the call of duty not only with the implementation and explanations of the exact fixes and updates he was doing to my site but also in suggesting ways I could improve my site's speed and flow for free. He has been extremely helpful in teaching me and guiding me through this and his customer service and follow up is top notch. You can immediately tell that Stephen is passionate about helping his clients. He is patient, thorough, and only charges you for the work you actually need. I am/was very comfortable asking for help and giving him access to my site. I highly, highly recommend SW if you need any help optimizing your Shopify site and there is no doubt in my mind that I will be sending him more business in the future. Thank you again Stephen. You are the man!

    Very detailed in explaining - Highly recommended.


  • smile September 30, 2017
    My online store needs to show any prices according to German law. This means an extra section showing a net price incl. 19% tax was required. 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


  • smile September 16, 2017
    I requested some help on a page design/function issue. Despite the fact that it was not something he could help us to resolve, Stephen went above and beyond a polite send off. He communicated back and forth several times. Explained the nature of the problem in great detail. He also gave suggestions for places to get a fix. We will definitely keep him in mind with our next design work.

    Stephen is a blast to work with. He understood my needs from the outset and made my vision a reality. In addition to his vast amount of web design knowledge, Stephen also has great suggestions with respect to the operational side of the business. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Stephen for future work and I look forward to working with him as my business grows.


  • smile July 13, 2017
    Stephen was awesome. He answered my questions and went above and beyond in my consultation fee that I paid. Very well worth it and help me get over the hurdle that I was facing. I ultimately did not use Shopify but that is only because of limitations I had on a different platform. But if I were to use it I would absolutely hire Stephen for his expertise. He's the best!


  • smile July 13, 2017
    Stephen did a very good job designing our new website and web store. Very pleased with look, feel and functionality.

  • smile June 28, 2017
    The service and commitment was outstanding and the end result is stunning. Stephen was on hand all of the time to provide answers and advice to any question I put forward. From what was initially a mediocre and non-responsive website I ended up with a brilliant looking professional site which is fully responsive and fast to load. I would totally recommend the services to anyone who needs advice and help on their website.


  • smile June 15, 2017
    I had Stephen at Stephen's World take a look at my site for an evaluation. He helped me immensely by identifying a number of issues with my new site. He offered suggestions on how to remedy the issues in a timely and easy to understand manner. He kept a clear line of communication and responded to my every question. I will definately be using his services again.


  • smile June 08, 2017
    You are always supportive and helpful. You search 4 answers when you don't know a question and I really appreciate you're helping me after you finish the website. Not many companies would do this. That's what makes your service exceptional. Thank you, Cherokee Billie


  • smile June 01, 2017
    Excellent response time, efficient and extremely professional. Stephen has by far exuded my expectations.

We are actually looking forward to working with him.

    Stephen is a wealth of knowledge!


  • smile May 17, 2017
    Stephen is extremely prompt, thorough, and professional.


  • smile May 10, 2017
    Stephen has been more than helpful. Easy to communicate with. Very knowledgeable.


  • smile May 09, 2017
    If you want top quality and detailed work then Stephen is the guy to do your website. I am a perfectionist and Stephen met every one of my requests and fulfilled them gladly. 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


  • smile May 04, 2017
