05 Common questions

Before we start.

Should I use Shopify or WordPress?+

Shopify is often the clearest fit for product-led commerce. WordPress and WooCommerce can suit content-heavy or highly customized businesses. I recommend based on your operation, not preference.

Can you customize an existing store?+

Yes. I can improve an existing theme, repair technical issues, add features, or plan a staged rebuild.

Can you migrate my products and content?+

Yes. Migration scope can include products, collections, customers, orders, pages, redirects, and analytics continuity.

Will the store work on mobile?+

Yes. Product discovery, cart behavior, checkout handoff, and content editing are all tested for mobile use.

Do you provide ongoing support?+

Yes. Support can be arranged for maintenance, improvements, merchandising needs, and platform updates after launch.
