Shopify Codex – Lea Gucciardi

Shopify Codex – Lea Gucciardi

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.

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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…
4. 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.

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.
