Here’s what elevate with ecommercE isn't
❌
It's not about churning out cookie-cutter websites that fail to capture the unique essence of each eCommerce brand.
❌
It’s not about relying heavily on learning liquid, html & all that other coding stuff, because TBH.. You don’t need to in order to be profitable & charge $8k + for your expertise!
❌
And it's absolutely not about navigating Shopify on your own. With a supportive community & coaching available, we’re here to support you.
Here’s what elevate with ecommerce is
☑️
It ‘s about attracting the right clients into your studio so you can love what you do & be profitable while you do it!
☑️
It’s about expanding your skillset beyond the four walls of a Shopify themes WITHOUT needing to write hours and hours of code.
☑️
It’s about supporting the growth of your biz with every document, template & Guide you need to hit the ground running with a Shopify offer in weeks, not months.

FROM TOTAL BEGINNER TO THRIVING DESIGNER
Let’s time-travel for a moment shall we?
8 years ago, I was in the exact same position you’re in now. I was exploring the possibility of Shopify offers & design but it seemed just too far outta my reach.
I took the risk anyway and began tinkering with Shopify alongside my first few clients. I was far from profitable & my processes were a mess….
Surely there must be a better way, I thought. With every new client project, I refined and I refined some more. After 8+ years and manyyyyy client projects, I have streamlined my way to a tried and true method for running a highly-profitable Shopify studio that is spacious, stress-free & scalable.
“Loved it so much! ”
★★★★★
Really informative and has everything you need to know from setting up a shopify store, to customer experience. Loved all the booklets included along the way, really good to refer back too while building sites for clients!

“I loved this course. April is incredible.”
★★★★★
I LOVED this course and am so glad I invested in it!! The Elevate with eCommerce course gave me the confidence & skills I needed to begin offering web design services as a freelancer. I really valued learning about her onboarding processes, project management tools & how she communicates with clients throughout the project. I'm also so grateful to have April in my network she is kind, friendly and an absolute wealth of knowledge!
If you're wanting to offer Shopify web design as a service do NOT sleep on this course!

-
This course is designed for web designers at varying levels of experience who are looking to specialize in Shopify-based eCommerce design. Whether you're a novice getting your feet wet or a seasoned professional looking to update your skills, this course is structured to help you elevate your expertise.
-
Elevate with eCommerce is not just a web design course; it's a specialized program tailored for designers who want to focus on creating Shopify websites for eCommerce brands. We aim to arm you with an entire toolbox of skills, knowledge, and tangible processes, so you're not just designing websites—you're helping businesses grow and succeed - including your own.
-
No previous experience in Shopify is required. Our course modules start with the basics and gradually increase in complexity, making sure you're comfortable every step of the way.
-
YES! This is an exciting and unique feature of our Program. You will choose from 3 concept brands to build out an entire site using our supplied brand assets, imagery and copy - leaving you with a tangible portfolio piece (or 3).
-
Absolutely! I encourage every student who is building out their concept stores to submit their designs and I can provide you with a recorded Loom feedback video, allowing you to make refinements and receive personalised tips and tricks for your design/s.
-
Not really. Although we do cover alot of useful information relating to designing Shopify websites, our course content has been structured specifically for Designers.
-
I totally understand that this could be a big investment for you and your business. That is why I offer a Payment Plan alongside a Pay in Full option. You can view more details about pricing here.
-
First up, you’ll receive an email inviting you to create your student account on our dedicated Student Dashboard
Just click away, and you'll be prompted to sign up to your Student account.
You’ll gain instant access to all the course content including videos, tutorials, downloadable resources, templates & much more.
-
Given the program's digital format and immediate access to a huge knowledge base & proprietary material, we are unable to provide refunds. We encourage you to thoughtfully consider your purchase. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact us anytime.
-
We sure do! But we believe it is important that only our students are sharing our program with their inner circle, so at this time the Affiliate Program ElevateX is only available to our Students inside the program.
-
-
We don’t pretend to be a one-size-fits-all Shopify Program and there are some aspects of Shopify we don’t cover, including liquid language, html and JSON/Javascript. We leave these to the other course creators who already serve up some fantastic course content around this specific skillset.
Elevate with eCommerce was created to fill the gap for Designers who love the platform, love to customise & design but do not want to spend their days writing code. As a Designer who has spent the last 8 years successfully building a Design business without a tonne of coding knowledge, I know its possible for others to do the same! We are not a foundational course, we are not a coding course, we exist to help Designers gain a wholistic understanding of Shopify’s features and capabilities all while gaining expert guidance on attracting clients, project managing, designing (of course), customising and launching stunning Shopify Stores for clients.
-
You will learn how to leverage some CSS in order to add custom fonts, add section-specific styling and make customisations to existing premium and free Shopify themes. In no way do I call myself a Developer BUT I have learnt ALOT when it comes to CSS in the last 2 years and I impart ALL of these tips and tricks to you inside the Program.
-
I’ve priced our Program with YOU & AFFORDABILITY in mind. I understand investing ANYTHING into your business and yourself is terrifying. I hope that by making The Program attainable for most Designers with a price tag under $2K USD along with a payment plan; will helps you reach your goals & increase your knowledge, fast. The fact that we are more affordable than other Shopify Programs is in no way representative of quality, with our Program jam-packed with resources, insightful tutorials, step-by-step lessons, interactive quizzes, personalised feedback, 2 x 1:1 coaching sessions plus so much more!
-
I recommend committing 5-6 hours per week to the course content & to designing out your own Concept Brand Stores. I would predict you would finalise your course content and site Designs within 2-3 months of starting your journey, therefore you can expect to take on Client Projects very quickly!
-
Definitely not. Each step is demonstrating how to design out your store inside Shopify’s Free Theme and each skill is transferrable to any Shopify Premium Theme.
-
You will have access to all course content, resources & the Student Dashboard for 18 months, after which you will be offered a yearly Membership to continue access at $199USD per year. You will receive a reminder email before your renewal rolls around so you can be sure to stay organised and keep access if you wish. (The $199 fee will not be direct debited or charged to you without your approval first).
-
As the Shopify Platform is an ever-evolving beast, it costs a tremendous amount of time and money to continue to update The Program to ensure it is as up to date as possible. Therefore, it is important that continued running costs are able to be covered in order to continue delivering the very best in relevant course content for the Platform.
I also feel it is important to get stuck into the course content asap. Giving you lifetime access means you are less likely to commit to The Program & it’s completion. This Program will only work as hard as you do.
-
Within your custom student dashboard, you will receive a direct link to my Coaching Calendar where you can easily book in your session/s at a time that works for you ☺️
-
Great question! As most… actually, ALL of the tech I run to keep Elevate with eCommerce operational charges us in USD, it makes more sense to have our fees in USD to allow us to pay our bills in USD as well, rather than paying banks currency exchange fees (they already earn enough profits!) 🤗
