Lea Gucciardi – Shopify Codex

Ditch cookie cutter templates, and boxing in your design dreams. I’ll help you build blue-sky stores and tailor a high-end client experience, without burnout.

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

Imagine being able to create custom shopify websites that clients paid you 5 figures and more for without having to spend 400+ hours on it?

Listen… Knowing how to speak to a computer is pretty f***** cool if you ask me. Imagine being able to go from pixel pusher to a computer psychic?

Designing and coding for Shopify is no longer just for mystical wizards of the agency world.

HERE’S THE DEAL

CLIENTS DON’T WANT BOXY BORING TEMPLATES THEY ARE LIMITED TO.

If you want to charge higher ticket and have your clients wowed, you need to unlock the next level of Shopify which is being able to customize templates to achieve the look you want.

01 Being able to head home early and spending some time with your family and friends instead of spending hours on a project. Let’s end the late night code-until-your-eyes-bleed projects just to have something for your portfolio.

02 Having a streamlined and repeatable process that you’re able to outsource to a junior designer or developer. This means no longer feeling disappointed and having to red line work because it doesn’t match your vision.

03 Being able to operate from where the ‘money resides’. You know Shopify projects can demand a higher ticket clientele and you now need to know how to create custom designs so you can confidently charge those prices…

04 Know exactly what to do in every step of the process. You’re time is most valuable when spent in action mode, so the checklists, breakdown of each phase, and resources to help get unstuck are there every step of the way.

 

HOW IS THIS COURSE DIFFERENT?

Shopify Code(x) is like nothing out there, I’m not giving you cookie cutter templates (See! You don’t want those either!).

As a designer and developer myself I know exactly what it’s like to want to over deliver to your clients and burn the candle at both ends. You want design freedom, but tight boundaries with clients.

I’m also not only showing you how to create high quality custom Shopify websites… but how to deliver an exceptional customer experience that will have clients eager to get on your books and refer you to all of their industry friends.

These tools helped me unlock my genius zone in my agency and create a consistent experience for my clients to stay out of my inbox after launch and move into high-paying strategic services they pay >20k for.

Inside the codex i’ll be showing you how to do the exact same!

GET THE CONFIDENCE YOU NEED TO DELIVER AMAZING SHOPIFY EXPERIENCES

“It has really transformed my business, it’s transformed my outlook, and even my approach to not only Shopify projects but all web and branding projects. It has really expanded my horizons…

 

MAYBE YOU ARE WONDERING…

WHY OFFER CUSTOM SHOPIFY SERVICES

01 Entrepreneurs are looking for on-brand beyond what they can DIY but don’t cost them a fortune, are still unqiue and beautiful.

02 Shopify is still niche and the amount of people who can build customized stores is not meeting the market needs.

03 Knowing how to customize themes is an in-demand skill that other designers are desperate and need help with all the time.

04 Clients willing to pay 10k+ have different and more demanding needs then templates help them achieve

05 Give your clients a more streamlined process to create full confidence in you and create a referral-worthy service.

06 With Online Store 2.0 now out, more merchants want new storefronts that unlock design power, and just knowing CSS might not cut it anymore.
