Raghu B.

⭐Top 3% on Upwork. Top Rated Plus. Trusted by premium elite clients | Certified Shopify Developer ⭐ You know what, AI can generate basic code, but it cannot architect a flawless, bespoke Shopify store that scales. I build custom Shopify themes, Custom private apps, and complex Shopify engineering solutions that automated tools and template-reliant Shopify developers simply cannot handle. I also leverage advanced AI tools like Claude to accelerate development, improve workflows, and solve complex engineering challenges; while keeping architecture, quality, and code standards human-led. If your brand has outgrown off-the-shelf Shopify templates, is bogged down by slow third-party Shopify apps, or requires complex Shopify Plus custom logic, I build it natively, cleanly, and flawlessly. As a Top Rated Plus Shopify Expert (Top 3% on Upwork) with 12+ years of experience and over 4,000 Shopify stores optimized, I bridge the gap between elite Shopify UI/UX design and hard-core Shopify development. Before we write a single line of Shopify Liquid code, my process always begins with a Comprehensive In-Depth Shopify Audit of your live store to pinpoint hidden technical bottlenecks and map out a precise Shopify growth blueprint. 🧩 Custom Shopify Engineering & Complex Shopify Redesigns When basic Shopify themes limit your vision, I write custom Shopify Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to bring your exact requirements to life. • Bespoke Shopify Theme Architecture: Pixel-perfect Figma to Shopify conversion built strictly on Shopify Online Store 2.0 with modular Shopify custom sections. • App-Free Shopify Functionality: I build Shopify bundles, advanced Shopify product filters, mega menus, and Shopify product options directly into your Shopify theme code to keep your infrastructure clean. • Seamless Shopify CMS Migrations: Flawless replication of your design and secure Shopify data migration from WooCommerce, Magento, or Wix to Shopify with zero downtime. • Headless Shopify & Shopify Plus: Building advanced, lightning-fast decoupled storefronts using the latest Shopify Hydrogen and Shopify Storefront API frameworks. 🧠 Shopify Conversion Rate Optimization (Shopify CRO) & Funnel Engineering Most Shopify developers just build what you ask for; I engineer your Shopify store to maximize Average Order Value (AOV) and Lifetime Value (LTV). I map out your entire Shopify user journey to plug invisible funnel leaks and recover abandoned revenue: • Data-Driven Shopify A/B Testing: Implementing rigorous Shopify A/B testing frameworks to pit layout variations, CTA placements, and Shopify UI/UX tweaks against each other based on real user data. • The Shopify Checkout-to-Thank-You Loop: Optimizing the highest-intent moments of the Shopify funnel. I build seamless post-purchase Shopify upsell integrations, customized Shopify Plus checkout layouts (using Shopify Checkout Extensibility), and dynamic Shopify Thank You pages. • Smart Shopify Cart Optimization: Designing high-converting Shopify cart drawers equipped with progress bars for free shipping, dynamic in-cart cross-sells, and sticky Shopify Add-to-Cart elements. • Shopify Retention Automation: Syncing on-site behavior with automated Shopify marketing flows (like Klaviyo) to capture cart abandoners at the exact millisecond they drop off. ⚡ Shopify Page Speed Optimization & Shopify Core Web Vitals A beautiful Shopify website is useless if your customers bounce before it loads. I treat Shopify site speed as a core software engineering requirement. • Aggressive Shopify App Purging: Third-party Shopify apps are the #1 killer of Shopify performance. I identify and permanently remove unwanted, bogged-down Shopify apps, replacing them with lightweight, hard-coded native Shopify features. • Shopify Script Auditing: Manually cleaning and purging legacy, uninstalled Shopify app code and ghost scripts that permanently choke your Shopify site performance. • Shopify PageSpeed Infrastructure: Implementing advanced image compression, intelligent lazy loading, and clean asset-bundling to target elite scores on Google PageSpeed Insights for your Shopify store. ⚙️ Custom Shopify App Development (Custom Private Apps) Stop trying to bend public Shopify apps to fit your unique business logic. I build secure, high-performance Custom private apps tailored to your exact workflows: • Shopify Admin Dashboards: Custom admin panels and automated backend Shopify operations. • Shopify B2B & Wholesale Portals: Advanced solutions featuring Shopify tiered pricing, restricted access, and volume discounts. • Shopify Product Personalizers: Interactive, custom-built product builders and custom Shopify checkout engines. 🏆 Why Raghu ➤ Ranked among Top 3% of Shopify Experts on Upwork ➤ 100% Job Success Score ( not easy to earn ) ➤ Daily stand up meetings with progress ➤ Long-term support, maintenance, and growth partnership ➤ Complimentary 30 min Strategy Consultation: ➤ Available for long-term collaboration
