Our Solutions

Unlike other Shopify Experts, we focus exclusively on independent, stable businesses that sell their own private label products. This gives us a more focused and intimate understanding of the expensive problems you face and how we can solve them for you.

We were one of the first Shopify Experts

After knocking out a custom theme for a local client, we were personally invited by Shopify Partners Program Lead and Head of Shopify Experts Dan Eveleigh to join the program. (Of course, we said yes.)

...and we loved it so much that in 2014, we decided to niche down exclusively on Shopify, bowing out of all non-Shopify projects. Since then, we've been writing about Shopify, talking about Shopify, and teaching about Shopify. We run the single most popular independent Shopify podcast by far, and we didn't even start it that long ago.

As a result, we've been able to specialize exclusively and successfully in helping Shopify store owners generate massive revenue growth.

“These guys are amazing. Great support and great devs! They also run the best Shopify podcast: The Unofficial Shopify Podcast”

Ezra Firestone
BOOM! BY CINDY JOSEPH & SMART MARKETER INC.

“Never in all my years of working with a consultant have I ever received so much actionable advice in so little time. It was like a massive canon of experience blasting onto our site design. Working with Kurt is simply the highest bang for your buck. Do it, your website KPI's will thank you.”

Hahn
COO, NOMAD GOODS

“As a result of Ethercycle's efforts, we blew away our goals for BFCM, and we're now equipped with best practices for site optimization and audience growth. Their efforts doubled our already good conversion rate and helped us grow our mailing list by over 50%. More importantly, we have established a new partner to help continue to expand and improve throughout the year.”

Jacques Marine
HOONIGAN INDUSTRIES

“Kurt and his team have been an excellent resource since launching our e-commerce channel in late 2016.

From a complete revamp of our site, to daily/weekly maintenance & upgrades, Ethercycle has been a pivotal piece of our planning & implementation. I'm confident they will continue to play a vital role in our success for years to come.

For anyone looking to take their Shopify store to the next level, I would certainly recommend the Ethercycle team.”

CHRIS WALTERS
Director of Marketing, Jay Leno's Garage

“Kurt knows the Shopify ecosystem intimately, including the myriad apps and developers that make up the whole ecosystem. So he understands what can serve as a great solution and what products can work well to help solve unique problems.”

Andrew Youderian
OVERLANDER PROJECT LEAD & FOUNDER OF ECOMMERCEFUEL

“They're so knowledgeable and they care, which is always nice. It's not just 'let's get this done because they hired us to do a job.' They actually want the website to convert well and do well and look great and do what it needs to do.”
