  Thomas has built several Shopify websites for us. The process couldn't be easier and the results are always spot on. Thomas has a rare combination of technical excellence and design flair, and on top of that he's a really nice guy!

• PuddleDucksStore migrationJul 8, 2021

  Thomas is a highly knowledgeable Shopify expert and it was a pleasure to work with him on the development of our new Shopify website. We were migrating from a Magento site and he worked through all the aspects of the migration with us including moving our order, customer and product data across to the new platform. He recommended a number of themes and we selected then one that suited us best. He has a wealth of experience with Shopify websites and recommended the best apps that we would need for our site. He worked closely with us going live with the new Shopify site and worked through any small teething issues along the way. Overall we would highly recommend working with Thomas on your Shopify project.

• Burton BlakeStore build or redesignJun 29, 2021

  Thomas is brilliant! Initially he helped us with some simple coding issues on our old site, however we were so impressed with his approach that when it came to a complete site and navigation rebuild the only person to ask was Thomas. I think he was born to do the job he does - he's amazingly practical, organised, level-headed, helpful, creative and honest, to name just a few of his best qualities... Happy to provide more info by email or a phone call.

  I suppose the figures speak for themselves really - after working with Thomas on my Shopify website our online sales grew 600% during Lockdown 3 here in Ireland compared to the same period of time during Lockdown 1 last year. On a more personal note though (and for me that is really important) Thomas was a joy to work with. Thomas has the experience to know what will work for my site so I don’t waste my time and money trying out apps that may or may not work, he is a good task master and suggests new ideas and collaborations where necessary. Thomas looked at VendHq, the Epos that we work with and the way it integrates with shopify and helped me get more organised so the integration Is more efficient, saving time and increasing sales. All this and being Irish with a cracking sense of humour - what's not to like?

• Bubble BrothersStore migrationApr 13, 2021

  Thomas planned and carried out the migration of our established specialist wine website to Shopify, and made it look easy. Everyone here is simply delighted with the new site: it looks great, it's simple for customers and staff to use, and sales increased immediately. After years of customizing, maintaining and repairing the previous site in-house, we knew that attempting a move ourselves was out of the question, but needed to be able to communicate all the details to someone who would take the trouble to understand our needs and have the expertise to meet them. Thomas was that person: he is calm, friendly and patient, and methodically sorted out what really mattered from what really didn't matter, so that we made logical and steady progress through the project. Meetings were flexibly arranged to suit our schedule and were always relaxed, productive and informative, with clear to-do lists established for both parties in between times. Thomas found ways to manage the complex navigation and layers of product details we needed, so that our existing information is better organized, making an even better resource than before. Routine updates and additions are easier and quicker, and we have more time for other aspects of the business. If we need further support, we have the reassurance that Thomas is just an e-mail away. Solid five-star service from beginning to end!

  Thomas has been a 'central pillar' to the construction of our new Shopify website. The experience has not only been educational for me but also highly enjoyable as Thomas has been a very patient Shopify website provider given my limited computer skills. Thank you Thomas - kind regards martin

• Okan ArtsStore migrationDec 15, 2020

  I am thrilled that I chose Thomas as my Shopify expert. Okan Arts already had an e-commerce site but the site did not function well on iPads and mobile devices. We also wanted to upgrade other features of our website. Thomas listened carefully and understood our goals. He was responsive, timely, and had the expertise we needed to get our project completed successfully—with some smart custom programming. I would recommend Thomas for anyone with a highly detailed Shopify site-building project. Oh, and he's a great guy!

• Paddle and PitchStore build or redesignJul 3, 2020

  When I started with Thomas I had to point out my PC skills are not great but I had a clear idea of what type of store I wanted. He has been an exceptional tutor, patient but with clear communication on a step by step process which has helped drive us to create an excellent attractive sales platform for the market segment we are aiming for. Thomas's key areas of excellence are: Availability - has always has been available Response Time - he has always responded quickly to any emails Knowledge - a recognised expert in Spotify so always has the answer to any questions and is there to back you up in the future. Therefore dependable which I feel is vital when setting up any new business. All of the above makes him an excellent investment when committing to a Shopify store. Roger Waugh CEO Paddle and Pitch

  Thomas has been great to work with. He listened to our needs, whilst providing us with some great advice on how to make our website most accessible to our customers with the aim of maximising conversions. He was able to build our new site much faster than we anticipated, and it now looks super professional and we are happy to refer people to it as a great representation of our brand. We will be hiring him again for the rebuild of our other brands' website in the coming weeks. We highly recommend you hire him!

  Super fast, super responsive and customer-centric workflow. We really appreciated to work with Thomas on our web shop relaunch. All communication and online meetings were very efficient, he had a very precise understanding of our brand and what actually matters for our business. We highly recommend Thomas to all shop owners in need for advice and hands-on support for new projects from shop redesign or social media plugins to language translations.
