Illustrative build

A simplified example. Yours is designed from your products, your art direction, and your merchandising rules.

Ledger

The app-store path

Monthly fee forever

You rent the tool that sells your product. It never becomes yours.

Template UI

Their layout, their branding seams, their idea of how your product is chosen.

Their roadmap, their limits

If the app doesn't support your rule, neither do you.

Support queues

A ticket number between you and the person who can fix it.

The custom build

One-time project cost

You pay for the build once. Nothing renews, nothing expires.

Designed to your exact spec

Built into your theme as an editable, manageable section.

Your rules, your logic

Pricing, inventory, and merchandising behave the way you sell.

Direct line

You talk to the person who designed and wrote it.

What we build

Customizers first.
Then the whole decision.

Product customizers

Engraving, stone and metal selection, stacks and sets, bundles, monograms, made-to-measure — with live preview, real inventory rules, and clean cart properties for fulfillment.

Quiz product finders

Guided recommendation flows that turn browsers into confident buyers, with logic built around how your customers actually decide.

AI shopping assistants

An assistant trained on your catalog and brand voice that answers real questions, narrows choices, and hands off to the cart.

Conversion tooling

Bundle builders, gifting flows, size and fit helpers, PDP rebuilds — whatever the data says is costing you orders.

Jewelry is the specialty. Customizers have also shipped for apparel, luggage, and educational kits — if a customer has to make choices before buying, it's in scope.

Why it converts

Built by someone who optimizes for revenue, not features.

Every tap can lose the sale

Customizers fail on friction: unclear steps, dead ends, slow previews. The build starts from the decision path, not the feature list.

Mobile is the whole game

Most configuration happens on a phone. Controls are thumb-sized, state is always visible, and nothing hides behind a modal.

Speed is a conversion feature

No third-party app bundle loading on top of your theme. Lean code, native to your store.

Clean data downstream

Selections land in the cart and order as structured properties your ops and fulfillment team can use.

Process

The 14-day cycle

Business days, measured from the end of discovery. One person owns strategy, design, and development, so nothing waits in a queue.

Launch
  1. 01Day 0

    Discovery

    We map your products, options, pricing rules, and the exact path a customer takes to a confident order.

  2. 02Days 1–4

    Design to spec

    Interface designed to your brand — not a themed template. You sign off before a line of production code.

  3. 03Days 5–11

    Build

    Developed and installed in your theme as an editable, manageable section your team can control.

  4. 04Days 12–14

    QA & launch

    Device and browser testing, cart and order-data checks, edge cases, then a controlled launch.

  5. 05After launch

    Handoff

    You get the code, documentation, and a walkthrough. It's yours — no license, no subscription.

A good fit if

  • You sell on Shopify and personalization is core to the product
  • Your current app-based customizer is capping conversion or looks off-brand
  • You want to own the code, the experience, and the roadmap
  • You have someone who can answer product and merchandising questions during discovery

Probably not if

  • You're not on Shopify
  • You want the cheapest option rather than the best-converting one
  • You need a customizer live this week with no discovery
  • You want a monthly-fee app someone else maintains for you

Digital strategy & growth · Boston, MA

"I surf the web, ride the DTC wave & turn pixels into profits."

Fifteen years dedicated to helping premier DTC start-ups and organizations craft and refine their digital efforts — across ecommerce management, conversion rate optimization, retention marketing, analytics, paid media, and UX strategy. Almost 20 years in total working for and with hyper-growth DTC brands.

That merchant-side experience is why these builds start with revenue questions instead of feature requests. All development happens entirely in Boston, by me — no offshore handoffs, no account manager relaying questions, no agency layers between the decision and the person writing the code.
