Hey there, I'm Ermiyas

Ermiyas Asrat, founder of Ermiyas Shopify Consulting

Ermiyas AsratFounder & lead consultant

I help brands and agencies build Shopify stores that sell, then keep them running.

My track record was built side by side with agency teams: 70+ Shopify stores delivered as their Shopify lead, from first audit to launch and beyond. Now I bring that same graft directly to founder-led brands, and keep partnering with agencies that need senior Shopify capacity.

FAQs

The stuff I get asked most.

01What can a Shopify developer actually do for my store?

Everything from custom theme builds and schema-driven sections to checkout optimization, app integrations and performance work. If it lives on Shopify, I can build it, fix it or make it faster.

02Do you only work with Shopify Plus brands?

No. I work across Shopify and Shopify Plus. What matters is that you're selling something worth buying and you're ready to invest in doing it properly.

03Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce or Magento?

Yes. Replatforming is a big part of the work. Products, customers, orders and SEO equity move across with minimal disruption, landing you a faster store that joins up easily.

04Can you improve an existing store instead of rebuilding it?

Absolutely. Some of the best results I've been part of, like Saicho's 197% UK uplift delivered with an agency partner, came from scoped performance and CRO work on existing themes rather than full rebuilds.

05Do you work with agencies?

Yes. Much of my track record was built in collaboration with agency partners, and I still work with agencies as a white-label or embedded Shopify lead: scoping, theme builds, performance and CRO, under your brand or alongside your team.

06Where are you based and do you work remotely?

I work with international brands remotely, across the UK, US and beyond. Time zones are a feature: work keeps moving while you sleep. More on working with brands in the UK, the US and Europe.

07How much does it cost to hire a Shopify developer?

It depends on scope, complexity and whether it's a one-off project or ongoing work. I quote after a short scoping conversation so the price matches the work. For a deeper look, read how much a Shopify developer costs.

08Do you offer Shopify Plus development and store migrations?

Yes to both. See my pages on Shopify Plus development and Shopify migration for how I approach them, or find out how working with me works.
