Hi, I'm Kiril.
I'm a freelance Shopify developer in Germany. I build themes, set up Markets for new countries, move stores over to Shopify and speed up slow ones, for brands that want one person who owns the whole task.
You get the scope, timeline and price in writing first. I build on a preview theme, so your live store keeps selling while we work, and I stay on for fixes after launch.

From first call to first sale
Every project goes through the same six steps. You always know what's happening, and your live store keeps selling while I build.
01Kick-off call
We meet on Google Meet and go through your store, goals and deadline. You get a clear scope, timeline and price before any work starts.
Google MeetFixed estimate
02Brief & design
Everything goes into a written brief: pages, features, apps and content. Then a Figma design, or your own design, prototype or Lovable file, checked against the brief.

03Build in Shopify sections
I build on a preview theme, so the live store keeps selling. Every section comes with settings your team can change later without code.

Top Rated on Upwork26 reviews · 95% Job SuccessKiril is a professional that helped redesign my entire website from the ground up. I gave him a vague idea of what i wanted and he guided me through the entire process, as I don't know much about website design. He made my website look modern and sleek, for the customer base that I was catering towards. He is easy to work with, and was very patient with me. I would gladly continue working with him for my Shopify related needs

FAQ
What Shopify work do you usually take on?
Most projects fall into one of four buckets: custom theme work, Online Store 2.0 migrations, feature development for the storefront, and ongoing support after launch.
Can you work inside an existing Shopify store?
Yes. I regularly work inside live Shopify stores to improve sections, product pages, cart behavior, filtering, integrations, speed, and launch readiness.
Do you handle migrations to Shopify Online Store 2.0?
Yes. I can help move a store from a legacy setup to OS 2.0 while protecting content structure, rebuilding custom logic, and reducing launch risk.
Can you help after launch too?
Yes. Many clients keep me involved after launch for fixes, experiments, SEO and speed improvements, new sections, and ongoing storefront development.
How do we start?
Send the store URL, the problem you want solved, and any deadlines or constraints. From there I can suggest the cleanest next step, whether that is an audit, a small sprint, or a larger implementation.
Do you work with designers or existing specs?
Yes. I can build from Figma, Loom videos, written specs, or an existing storefront reference, and I also help tighten the implementation plan when requirements are still rough.
Let’s talk about your Shopify project.
