Selected work

Stores I've built and run

All work

Saudi Arabia and the UAE

Selling in the Gulf?

Most themes and apps are built for English stores. In the Gulf you also need an Arabic store that reads right to left, couriers Shopify doesn't ship with, and an address the courier can find.

  • Arabic that reads right to left

    The Arabic store has to flip, not just translate. I set the direction in the theme, fix the parts that don't follow it, and stop English leaking onto the Arabic store.

    How RTL works on Shopify
  • Saudi couriers connected

    A paid order creates the waybill, books the collection and attaches the label, and tracking flows back to the customer.

    Which couriers work with Shopify
  • A short address at checkout

    My app, Checkout Toolkit KSA, asks for a valid Saudi national short address at checkout, so couriers deliver the first time.

New store

Need a new store, or a rebuild?

Designed and built by the same person, on a theme your team can run without calling a developer for every change.

  • Design and code in one place, so nothing is lost between them
  • Sections your team can edit on their own
  • Checked on the live store at launch, with support after

Speed and sales

Store slow, or losing sales?

Most stores don't need a redesign. They need the few things costing them sales found and fixed first.

  • Apps and scripts that slow every page down
  • Friction on product pages, the cart and checkout
  • A list of fixes ranked by impact, so you know what to do first

Apps and integrations

Shopify can't do what you need?

When the theme and the App Store run out, I build it: custom apps, integrations and bulk data work through Shopify's APIs.

  • Custom apps for a single store
  • Courier, ERP and loyalty integrations
  • Apps of my own on the Shopify App Store
Custom app development

How working together goes

Four steps, from the first call to launch.

  1. 01

    Call

    A short call to understand the store, the goal and the deadline.

  2. 02

    Plan

    A written scope: what I'll build, in what order, and what I need from you.

  3. 03

    Build

    Work ships in small steps on a preview theme, so you see progress as it happens.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Go live, check everything on the live store, and hand over — with support after launch.

What you can count on

  • You talk to the person writing the code
  • A written scope before any build
  • Work ships in small, visible steps
  • Preview before anything goes live
  • Support after launch

From clients

What clients say

  • “Uzáir took our brand from a rough idea to a site that actually feels like Balqees. He was thoughtful about every detail and easy to work with from start to finish.”
    Salem, Balqees
  • “We needed a site that could keep up with how fast Zerolifestyle moves. Uzáir delivered exactly that — clean, fast, and built the way we actually work.”
    Daniyal, Zerolifestyle
  • “Versusforher's new site captures the brand better than we imagined. Uzáir paid attention to the small interactions that make the whole experience feel premium.”
    Saim, Versusforher
  • “Beyond the design, Uzáir genuinely cared about how the store performed for our customers. Makeupcity's site feels sharper and runs noticeably smoother now.”
    Mohsin, Makeupcity
  • “Working with Uzáir was straightforward — clear communication, solid execution, and a final result that fit Imtiaz Super Market's brand perfectly.”

Questions

How much does a Shopify project cost?

It depends on the scope, so every job gets a fixed price after a short call and a written scope. Small jobs like a speed fix, one section or a single integration are quoted the same way. If you'd rather start small, the audit has a fixed price.

Are you an agency?

No. I'm an independent developer, so you work directly with me from the first call to launch. Nothing is subcontracted without telling you.

Do you work with brands outside Pakistan?

Yes. Most of my work is for brands in the UK, the UAE and Saudi Arabia as well as Pakistan, all done remotely. My working day in Karachi overlaps fully with the Gulf and for the afternoon with the UK.

Can you build something Shopify doesn't do out of the box?

Yes. I build custom apps for single stores and integrations with couriers, ERPs and loyalty platforms. Collection Toolkit, my own app, is live on the Shopify App Store, and Checkout Toolkit KSA is in App Store review.

How do we start?

Book a 20-minute call, or send a WhatsApp message with your store's URL and what you want changed. I reply within one business day, and if it's a fit you get a written scope with a fixed price.
