10 Years Shopify experience

When I began working for Kunstadt Sports I only had WordPress (+ woo-commerce) experience. Since they had decided upon using Shopify for their e-commerce solution I had to learn the platform right away. Having since grown with Shopify, I am now adept at managing any website built on the platform with confidence.

Some of the my main strengths are:

Theme editing using liquid and .css
plug-in stack management
Metafields & Metaobjects
Google Merchant Center integration

Above Average WordPress experience

I have a longstanding history with WordPress, having adopted it early on before transitioning to Shopify. My recent return to the platform, exemplified by this website, reveals significant advancements, though some of the changes are… not so good.

Most of my WordPress experience is with the following

WordPress Installation and Setup (Cpanel, WHM)
Website Security Basics / Backups
Experience with Page Builders: Divi, Jupiter, Elementor, Gutenberg and other Block Editors (Spectra)
Responsive Design Principles
Plugin Installation and Configuration & Troubleshooting Plugin Conflicts
