Flight RC
A distinctive dark aviation Shopify theme for Flight RC, Christchurch's specialist RC aircraft shop, built around the owner's aircraft-engineering background.
Stores that sell, checkouts that behave, and the unglamorous technical work behind both. I’m Christchurch-based and have been a Shopify Partner since 2017 — practical help without the hand‑offs.
Being a Shopify Partner means I work in the platform every week — themes, Liquid, checkout quirks, app integrations, and the small details that affect conversion. It’s not a sticker for the footer; it’s the difference between “installed an app” and “made the store behave for NZ customers”.
Partner of record on multiple live NZ stores including shop.jimny.co.nz (which Dori Media also owns and operates).
A clear build or fix, documented decisions, and a store your team can actually run. Most engagements run 3–8 weeks elapsed, with fixed scope at the front and a single point of contact (me) the whole way through.
Layout, speed, mobile friction, and the bits customers trip on before checkout.
Moving platforms without torching URLs you’ve earned.
When apps don’t quite fit, we bend the theme instead of bolting on chaos.
Clean events, fewer blind spots — so you can trust what the dashboard says.
Policies, taxes, shipping edges — the unglamorous checklist before you go live.
Short Looms, plain-English notes, and a direct line when something wobbles.
— Process
We align on goals, catalogue pain, and I tell you what’s worth fixing first.
Fixed scope where it matters — or a tight phase if the unknowns are real.
Theme work, Liquid, integrations, and checkout behaviour — with check-ins at sensible milestones.
Go-live support, monitoring the weird edge cases, and a calm path for what’s next.
