## Quick answers

### Q: What do you work on?
**A:** Shopify and AI. On the Shopify side: custom themes, custom apps and checkout integrations, speed and SEO fixes, and migrations to Shopify. On the AI side: chatbots and agents, workflow automation with n8n and Make, and AI features for Shopify stores.

### Q: How much does a project cost?
**A:** Every service has a starting price: Shopify Theme Development from $1,800; Shopify App Development from $2,500; Shopify Speed, SEO & Conversion from $450; Migration to Shopify from $1,200; AI Chatbots & Agents from $1,500; AI Workflow Automation from $400 per workflow; AI for Shopify Stores from $900. After a read-only look at your store you get a realistic estimate. Ongoing and hourly work is $35/hour on Upwork.

### Q: How do I hire you?
**A:** Either through Upwork, where my reviews and work history are public and payments are protected, or by sending me your store URL through the quote form. I reply within 4 hours.

### Q: Do you work directly on my live store?
**A:** No. Work happens on a duplicate theme or staging copy, tracked in Git, with a backup taken first. Nothing goes live until you have approved it, and every task ends with a short note covering what changed, which files, and how to undo it.

### Q: Who owns the code?
**A:** You do. On delivery, the code and assets are yours.

### Q: Do you work with Shopify Plus?
**A:** Yes, including checkout customization with checkout extensibility and Shopify Functions. I also tell you plainly what is and is not possible on your current plan before you commit.
