Katie built and runs my shopify store with competence and creative flair...

Katie built and runs my shopify store with competence and creative flair, making sure that all the nitty-gritty stuff like integrations with printers and ebook delivery services run properly, creating highly effective product pages, and making the store look professional. She has saved me more time than I can measure, and more stress than I want to think about. Most importantly, she is entirely dependable: my store is a critical part of my business and brings in a lot of my income, so whoever has access to the back end must be someone I can trust. When something goes wrong (as it occasionally will), knowing that Katie is on the case means I can forget about it and go back to writing the next book.

Katie is an absolute pleasure to work with. She built my Shopify site and has held my hand all the way through the process. I've already recommended her to friends who've been equally happy. I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Katie's magic touch in designing my store...

Katie's magic touch in designing my store, crafting product pages, and seamlessly integrating essential apps like BookVault and BookFunnel has truly made my Shopify journey a joy. Her attention to detail ensured not just a visually stunning store, but one that runs like a well-oiled machine. Katie's upbeat personality, endless patience, and fast responses to my questions made every interaction a pleasure. Even after the initial setup, I know I can count on Katie for that extra boost of assistance whenever I need it. Thanks a million, Katie!

It was a true pleasure working with Katie to build my Shopify store...

As I am not very tech savvy I asked a number of questions, to which she quickly and thoroughly explained the answers. Her set up and continued support has aided immensely in helping me feel more confident in running my online store. I highly recommend working with Katie if you are looking for a wonderful end product and for someone who is thorough, professional, and very easy to work with.

Working with Katie took the guesswork out of building my online bookstore. After pulling my hair out, trying to build one on my own, I contacted Katie and never looked back. She's responsive, friendly, and incredibly patient. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Entrusting her with this project was the best decision ever.

"Katie helped me set up my backlist books on my new Shopify store, JFPennBooks.com, with integration to Bookvault for print, as well as adding samples from Bookfunnel. She knows her way around Shopify and is also friendly and helpful. Recommended!"

I tried and tried to set up a Shopify site, and I found a hundred ways to do it wrong. (Truth be told, I couldn’t do it at all).

Tired of hearing me weep and moan and threaten to throw myself off a bridge, my dear long-suffering friend introduced me to Katie, and a miracle ensued.

The site she created for me is everything I dreamed of and lots more that I couldn’t even imagine. To say she’s brilliant at this is a serious understatement. She’s also kind, creative, patient, professional and yet endlessly forgiving of my foibles.

Hire her fast. She’s soon going to be far too busy to take on new clients.

I can’t thank her enough and highly recommend her services.
