Shopify Development Company in Manchester
I’m a Shopify developer and consultant in Manchester, working through my Shopify development agency, Syed Qasim Abbas Abidi. I build and fix Shopify stores for small businesses and startups in Manchester and across the UK. If you need a new store, a redesign, or someone to sort out a theme that has become a mess, this is the page to start with.
Most of my clients come to me with one of three problems: the store looks dated, it loads slowly, or it doesn’t turn visitors into orders. I look at what’s actually going wrong first, then fix that.
Shopify development services in Manchester
Shopify store development. I set up your store from scratch: products, collections, payments, shipping, tax and a theme that matches your brand. You get a store you can manage yourself without calling me every time you change a price.
Theme customisation. Your theme almost does what you want, but not quite. I change layouts, add sections, and clean up the code so it stays easy to edit later.
Shopify web design. As a Shopify designer, I can design the store first, or take your existing Figma design and turn it into a working Shopify theme.
Migrations. Moving from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace or another platform. I move products, customers and order history, and set up redirects so you don’t lose search traffic.
Apps and integrations. Reviews, subscriptions, accounting, email, stock systems. I pick apps that do the job without slowing your store down, and I’ll tell you when you don’t need an app at all.
Speed and fixes. Slow pages, broken checkout steps, odd mobile layouts. I find the cause and fix it.
Shopify support. After launch you can have me on call for updates, small changes and the occasional emergency.
Shopify Plus. As a Shopify Plus developer in Manchester, I’ve worked on Plus stores, including

We were recommended (hug) London by our business coaching company when asking for help with our SEO. The team at (hug) did such a great job with the SEO that we decided to bring them on to completely refresh our website too. We are thrilled with the end result and would recommend (hug) to anyone wanting to update their website. What we loved most was the strategic approach to how we structured our website, with them taking a lot of time to get to know us, our company, the services we offer and what our customers are looking for. Throughout the development process we found them to be extremely responsive, understanding, patient and professional. They offered a great deal of expertise and advice which made the process much easier for us. We will continue to use (hug) for our SEO and website development needs in the future.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
