I'm Jonny — a full stack developer specialising in Shopify and Shopify Plus storefronts.

Jonny Taft, Shopify developer

Shopify developer, full stack background

I currently work as a Shopify developer at Visualsoft, a Shopify Premier Partner. Over five years at the agency I've shipped work through the full project cycle — from concept and design through to testing and deployment.

I develop, customise, and maintain Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. That means turning Figma into responsive Liquid, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript; integrating third-party apps; and keeping the storefront fast, stable, and on-brand. I care about performance, conversion, and a customer experience that feels as considered as the design.

What I do

Theme work, integrations, and the bits that make a store feel finished. I work across the Shopify ecosystem and stay close to new platform features, so the build matches how merchants actually run a store.

  • Shopify & Shopify Plus themes
  • Liquid, HTML, CSS & JavaScript
  • App integrations & Shopify API
  • Performance, SEO & CRO
  • Figma to responsive code
  • Full project lifecycle

I collaborate with design, marketing, and content teams so the storefront stays cohesive. I also troubleshoot bugs, bottlenecks, and the awkward edge cases that show up after launch.
