About Me

I don't just build stores — I build revenue engines

I'm Abid Arif, a solo Shopify developer specializing in custom theme development, store performance, and conversion optimization. When you message me, you talk directly to me — no middlemen, no account managers.

I help Shopify brands and agencies build faster, cleaner storefronts by replacing heavy apps with custom code — improving conversion rate (CRO) and average order value (AOV) without bloating your theme.

How I build your
Shopify store

A structured, transparent process from discovery through development and launch — built for quality and zero surprises.

PHASE 01

Discovery &
Requirement Gathering

Before touching any code, I focus on understanding your store goals, brand, and customers — so the foundation is built right from day one.

  • Understand your brand, goals, and target audience
  • Review your existing theme or store setup
  • Define project scope, features, and deliverables
  • Agree on timeline and communication cadence
PHASE 02

Theme Structure &
Dev Environment

I analyze the Liquid architecture and set up a safe development store — no impact on your live store while we build.

  • Analyze templates, sections, and Liquid architecture
  • Set up Shopify development store via Partner tools
  • Choose approach — custom build or theme customization
  • Establish clean version control and backup workflow
PHASE 03

UX Planning &
Layout Design

Conversion-focused layout decisions are made before any code is written — desktop and mobile both planned from the start.

  • Map page structure and conversion-focused layouts
  • Plan desktop & mobile UX before writing code
  • Review Figma designs or wireframes if provided
  • Identify CRO opportunities in key sections
PHASE 04

Development &
Custom Coding

Clean Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — no bloated apps. Features built natively so your store loads fast and stays maintainable.

  • Build custom sections, features, and theme functionality
  • No heavy apps — custom code where possible
  • Regular previews and updates throughout build
  • Checkout extensions and Shopify Plus features if needed
PHASE 05

Testing &
Performance Optimization

Every screen size, every browser, every edge case — tested before anything goes live. Speed and Core Web Vitals optimized.

  • Cross-browser and cross-device testing
  • Core Web Vitals and page speed optimization
  • Functional testing of all features and flows
  • Final review and client sign-off
PHASE 06

Launch &
Post-Launch Support

Smooth deployment to your live store with documentation and bug support included — and an ongoing retainer if you need it.

  • Deploy to your live Shopify store
  • Provide clear documentation and setup guides
  • Post-launch bug support included
  • Ongoing retainer available for continued development
