About

Helping Brands & Agencies Build Fast, High-Performing Shopify Stores

I’m a Shopify developer with over a decade of experience, specialising in custom themes, apps, integrations, and store migrations. I’ve been working exclusively with Shopify since 2013, watching the platform grow in real time, which gives me deep insight into what makes stores fast, reliable, and scalable.

What I Do

I build Shopify stores that are optimised for page speed, SEO, and accessibility, delivering fast, inclusive, and high-converting experiences. I work directly with brands or alongside digital agencies, providing senior-level expertise on complex projects. I also offer training and tutoring for developers and teams, helping them quickly get up to speed with Shopify development and best practices.

Why Work With Me

I focus on creating custom Shopify solutions that are maintainable, scalable, and built to grow with your business. Whether you need a new build, a migration, or ongoing store optimisation, I provide reliable, detail-oriented development that saves time, improves performance, and helps your brand succeed online.

TESTIMONIALS

See what my clients have to say

I take pride in saying that I work with some of the best Shopify agencies out there. I've lead development teams, consulted on complex technical solutions and launched a few of the largest stores on the Shopify platform. Don't just take my word for it, take a look at what my clients have to say about me.

  • We had the pleasure of working with Tom on a high priority shopify project when our team was short on development resources, and honestly, it felt like we had an entire team of developers in one person.

  • We hired Tom as a contractor, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He hit the ground running and quickly established himself as a highly experienced Shopify developer, impressing both our client base and our internal PM and AM teams. Looking forward to working with you again.

  • We have been working with Tom on a few projects and he has been an outstanding asset to the team! His Shopify and Front-End experience is A-Class. His soft skills with the team is great, always engaged and gives insight and support to the team. I am looking forward to working with Tom on more exciting projects at Series Eight.

  • Tom's been fantastic to work with on our projects. His skills in Shopify and front-end development are top-tier. Beyond the tech stuff, he's a great team player, always ready to chip in with advice or a helpful hand. If you're diving into the world of Shopify, Tom is a great person to have on your team. Looking forward to more projects with him, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a solid developer.

  • Tom is a very capable full stack developer with a great deal of experience working within the Shopify eco-system. He works very well within various different team structures and delivers work on time and to specification, with great communication and availability when needed. Tom is a valued member of our team!

  • I worked closely with Tom for a few years and can say that he is one of the most talented developers I've ever worked with, and knows Shopify as well as anyone. He's a hard worker, lightning fast, curious, passionate, honest, and a problem solver. To cap it all, he's a very enjoyable and pleasant person to have around. He's a rare breed and an asset to anyone who engages him.

  • I highly recommend Tom Blanchard as a Freelance Full-stack Shopify Developer. Tom has been an invaluable asset to our company, pensxpress.com, for the past 8 years. His expertise in Shopify development has consistently impressed us, and he has completed numerous projects for us with exceptional results.

  • Tom was amazing to work with! Extremely knowledgeable about Shopify, a great communicator, and an all round superstar. I was also super happy with the quality & speed of the work and the client was delighted with their new website! I would happily work with Tom again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a talented developer.

  • Tom is simply the best Shopify developer I've worked with (and I've worked with quite a lot over the past 5 years). He writes clean code and knows Shopify inside out. Can't fault his work and level of detail - he's working at the highest level of Shopify development. 100% recommended.

  • Tom has been a huge help in providing speedy and thoughtful feature solutions for our Shopify clients. We appreciate his cheerful can-do attitude and how he collaborates with our team. Thanks, Tom!

  • Tom was a pleasure to work with. He is diligent with a strong commitment to quality, tested work.

  • We recently had to reach out to Tom for advice on a strategy we were putting into place for a client on Shopify. With Shopify being the closed system that it is it is often hard to find the kind of help that is needed on projects like this and that is readily available on other platforms. I really cannot recommend Tom enough for his expertise in relation to Shopify and on how approachable he was.

  • Tom is really great to work with! He is super speedy and really thinks outside of the box when it comes to developing within Shopify. Before working with him, I often though some functionality was nearly impossible or would we way too time-consuming, he helped us think about it in new ways.

  • Tom has consulted on a number of projects for us and his help has always been insightful, timely and incredibly valuable. I'd happily recommend him to anyone in my network. Thank you Tom!

Projects

Projects I've been involved with

Here's a selection of projects I've worked on over the years - mostly Shopify Plus builds where I handled all front-end development and Shopify integration. Some builds required a lot behind the scenes technical solutions which called for custom Shopify app development and bespoke API scripts to keep things running smoothly.

Code-related ramblings of a mad man

I'm a firm believer in sharing what I know, especially when it comes to Shopify development, due to the official documentation leaving a lot to be desired. I write mostly about technical solutions I've come across, desiccating my side-projects and uncovering undocumented functionality I've discovered within Shopify.
