I'm a highly motivated self-taught software developer with over a decade of experience. My journey in software development began when I left college to pursue my passion, and since then I have been working on a wide range of projects. I have extensive experience creating custom WordPress sites, mobile apps using React Native, web apps using React-based frameworks, and Shopify apps with Node.js. I have also played with numerous other technologies, tools, and frameworks over time, and have contributed to many open-source projects. I pride myself on creating clean, well-formatted, and properly documented code that is easy to maintain. My perfectionist approach ensures that every project I deliver meets the highest standards. I always ask myself, "If I were the client, would I be happy with this?" This mindset has helped me to deliver excellent projects for my clients and build a reputation for quality work.

Top Horizon Themes on Shopify (2025 Guide)

By Rajendra Bhochalya / May 23, 2025

I’ve been building Shopify stores since 2012—custom themes, performance tuning, headless builds, app development, the whole lot.

When Shopify announced Horizon in Editions Summer 2025, I didn’t roll my eyes like I usually do during big releases. I was actually excited.

After building Shopify apps and themes for more than a decade, I could see right away that Horizon wasn’t just an upgrade. It was Shopify finally catching up to where design, performance, and customisation need to be in 2025.

How to Choose a Theme for Your Shopify Store (The Smart Way)

By Rajendra Bhochalya / May 14, 2025

Choosing the right Shopify theme isn’t just a design decision. It’s a business one — and one that affects speed, conversions, SEO, and long-term scalability.

I’ve spent over a decade building custom Shopify themes, developing apps, and helping everyone from first-time founders to multi-7-figure brands grow on Shopify.

I’ve seen behind the curtain of what works — and what quietly wrecks stores from the inside.

If your theme looks slick but loads slowly, kills conversions, or breaks when you try to scale… it’s not helping your brand — it’s holding it back.

By Rajendra Bhochalya / May 7, 2025

I’ve run and audited enough Shopify stores to know this: most people have no clue what’s really broken in their setup.

The traffic might look decent. The store feels OK. But the numbers don’t lie — something’s off.

Whether you’re running a small product line or scaling a niche empire, doing a proper Shopify audit isn’t optional. It’s how you spot issues before they snowball.

Here’s how I personally run a Shopify store audit — the exact process, tools, and questions I ask every time.

How to Migrate from Etsy to Shopify: Step-by-Step Guide with SEO Benefits

By Rajendra Bhochalya / March 10, 2025

If you’ve been selling on Etsy for a while, you’ve probably noticed a few things:

Your shop is just one among thousands, if not millions, in your niche. Competing on Etsy can feel like shouting into a crowd.
Etsy takes a significant chunk of your profits with fees for listings, transactions, and advertising.
You don’t have much control over how your shop looks, functions, or even ranks in Etsy search.

This is where Shopify comes in.

When you move to Shopify, you’re no longer dependent on someone else’s platform. Instead, you have full ownership over your store, branding, marketing, and customer relationships.

For many Etsy sellers, it’s the natural next step to grow their business and build a sustainable brand.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve helped countless sellers migrate to Shopify. I’ve also developed Shopify apps, so I’ve seen the platform from every angle.

Moving an online store to a new platform is a high-stakes move. Get it wrong, and you could lose years of SEO work, traffic, and revenue overnight. But get it right, and your store will be faster, more scalable, and more profitable.

Let’s get started.

Dawn Shopify Theme Review: The Top Free Shopify Theme?

By Rajendra Bhochalya / February 13, 2025

The Dawn Shopify theme is arguably the most popular free theme ever created by Shopify – and certainly one of the most well-known themes I’ve ever used.

That might seem difficult to believe, given it’s somewhat unimpressive rating on Shopify’s theme store.

However, I’ve used this theme several times myself, when creating stores for other Shopify merchants, and I can say it has a lot of unique benefits.

As Shopify’s first “source available reference theme” for Online Store 2.0, Dawn is flexible, reliable, and fast.

So, is it the right theme for your online store?
