Montreal Shopify Developer — Custom Stores Built to Sell
I’m Arham, a Shopify developer in Montreal specializing in custom Shopify store development that goes beyond drag-and-drop. Whether you’re launching your first store or rebuilding one that isn’t performing, I build clean, fast, conversion-focused Shopify experiences — without bloated apps or off-the-shelf themes holding you back.
Your Shopify Store Looks Good. So Why Isn't It Selling?
You picked a theme. Uploaded your products. Set up payments. And yet — the sales aren’t matching the traffic.
Here’s what most people don’t tell you: a generic Shopify theme wasn’t built for your customers. It was built for everyone. And a store built for everyone converts no one.
The real problem isn’t your products. It’s that your store isn’t guiding visitors toward a purchase. Slow load times, clunky mobile experience, cluttered product pages, checkout friction — each one is a customer you’re losing silently.
That’s where custom Shopify development changes everything.
I offer end-to-end Shopify web development services — from custom theme builds to full store migrations. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
What I Build for Shopify Merchants
Custom Shopify Theme Development
Whether you have a design file or just a vision, I build Shopify themes from scratch using Shopify's templating language. No page builders. No bloat. Just lean, performant code that loads fast and looks exactly how you need it to.
Shopify Store Development & Setup
From product catalog structure to payment gateways to shipping rules — I handle complete Shopify store development so you launch with everything working. I also set up dev stores for testing before anything goes live, so there are no surprises on launch day.
Custom Shopify App Integration
Need functionality that doesn't exist in the Shopify App Store? I build lightweight custom solutions and integrate third-party tools directly into your storefront — without slowing it down.
Shopify Migration & Redesign
Moving from WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or a custom platform? I handle the full migration — products, customers, order history — while redesigning the storefront for better user experience and higher conversions.
Why Hire a Shopify Expert —Instead of an Agency?
When you hire an agency, you get a project manager, a junior developer, and a timeline that stretches. When you hire me, you get a senior Shopify developer who handles your project start to finish.
I’m based in Montreal, bilingual in English and French, and I’ve built custom Shopify stores for merchants across North America. I work with one client at a time — which means your store gets my full attention, not whatever’s left after three other projects.
No offshore handoffs. No template shortcuts. No disappearing after launch.
Three things clients tell me they value most:
Shopify expert-level knowledge — I know the platform inside out. From Liquid templating to Shopify CLI workflows, I work the way Shopify is meant to be worked.
Clean, documented code — Your store won’t be a black box. Everything I build is documented so you (or any future developer) can maintain it without starting over.
Honest timelines — I tell you upfront what’s realistic. If something isn’t possible within your budget, I’ll tell you that too.
How I Build Your Shopify Store
I offer end-to-end Shopify web development services — from custom theme builds to full store migrations. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Discover
We start with a deep-dive into your business: your products, your customers, your competitors, and your goals. I map out exactly what your store needs to convert — before I write a single line of code.
Design
I create wireframes and mockups that focus on the buying journey. Every layout decision is made with your customer in mind — what they need to see, when they need to see it, to feel confident hitting "Add to Cart."
Develop
This is where the store comes to life. I build on a Shopify dev store first, so you can review everything in a real environment with real transactions before we go live. Custom theme, custom integrations, speed-optimized from the start.
Deliver
We test everything — mobile, desktop, checkout flow, payment gateways, loading speed. Then we launch. And I don't disappear after go-live — I'm available for questions and small fixes during your handoff period.Projects

FAQ
Frequently asked question
Do I need a Shopify subscription to work with you?
Yes — you’ll need an active Shopify plan. I can help you choose the right plan for your business during our discovery call. I’ll set up a dev store at no cost to you during the build phase so there are no charges until we’re ready to launch.
Can you redesign my existing Shopify store without losing my data?
Absolutely. I migrate all your products, collections, customer data, and order history before touching the live store. Your business keeps running while I rebuild in the background.
How is custom Shopify development different from using a theme?
A theme is built to work for any store in any industry. Custom Shopify development is built specifically for your products, your customers, and your conversion goals. The difference shows up in loading speed, user experience, and most importantly — sales.
Do you work with Shopify Plus merchants?
Yes. I have experience with Shopify Plus including advanced checkout customization, scripts, and multi-currency setups.
How long does a custom Shopify store take to build?
It depends on the scope. A clean custom theme build typically takes 3–5 weeks. A full store build with custom integrations and migration can take 6–10 weeks. I give you a detailed timeline after our discovery call.
