Full Shopify expertise,

Shopify-focused, but the expertise reaches further: see all services (web, e-commerce, headless, AI, performance) or browse the technical blog for practical articles.
Shopify headless
Astro or Next.js + Storyblok stack: maximum performance, total flexibility on the front end.
WooCommerce → Shopify migration
Full migration of products, customers and orders. Zero data loss, zero downtime.
Speed & conversion optimisation
Lighthouse 90+, Core Web Vitals in the green, A/B testing, optimised checkout.
WordPress & WooCommerce
Custom WordPress sites, WooCommerce stores, headless WordPress with ACF or Storyblok.
Integrations & automations
Third-party APIs, logistics, CRM, payment, AI workflows. Solid architectures built to last.
Beyond the theme · private apps & Shopify App Store
Custom Shopify apps
When off-the-shelf apps don't cover your business need, I design and build Shopify applications, either private (custom for a single merchant) or public (Shopify App Store): Node.js, Remix, Polaris, Admin API GraphQL, Functions, checkout extensions.
Discuss an app project The Mauritius advantage European standards.
European standards.
Offshore pricing. No compromise.
Mauritius isn't a quality compromise. It's a different economic equation. Here's, concretely, why it works for your projects.
Native French speaker
Direct communication in French, just like a freelancer in Paris. Fluent English too, for UK/EU/US clients. No language barrier, no spec misunderstanding.
Europe-compatible timezone
GMT+4. The Mauritian day overlaps generously with the European day: meetings in the morning and afternoon in common, deliveries in the evening. Far from the painful timezone gap of other offshore zones.
French-agency rigour
14+ years in agencies serving SMEs and large French accounts. Methods, quality bar and deliverable culture at the level a European team expects. No cultural gap to bridge, no brief re-translation.
Mauritius rate, European deliverable
Lighter fixed cost base than France or the UK, but zero concession on expertise. The same profile as in a French agency, at a price those agencies structurally cannot match. Not an offshore factory selling volume: an independent practitioner, in direct contact.
See pricing for the rate grids by project type.
Independent vs agency The developer you pay
The developer you pay
is the one who codes.
Direct with an independent
- Single point of contact from brief to delivery
- Decisions made by whoever codes, not relayed
- Direct availability, no support ticket
- Pricing free of agency margin or project manager
- Responsiveness and fast iterations
With a classic agency
- A project manager between you and the dev
- Possible subcontracting, no visibility
- Long validation cycles
- High structural cost baked into every quote
- Senior sold, junior delivered
About
Patrice E., web developer for 14 years.
I started web development in 2013 inside a high-volume agency: hundreds of projects, every type of client, every type of bug. That discipline became second nature.
Shopify since 2018, official Partner since 2022. I contributed to one of the fastest Shopify themes in its market. Today, Digitalmonstr lets me choose my collaborators and my projects, to deliver careful work, not volume.
My clients are in France, across Europe, in the United Kingdom and the United States. Everything runs remotely, with clear and structured communication.

Frequently asked questions Everything you want to know
Everything you want to know
before starting.
Why choose a freelance Shopify developer over an agency?
You talk directly to the person who writes the code. No intermediary project manager, no silent subcontracting. Result: decisions made in hours instead of validation cycles, a single point of contact from brief to launch, and a cost that does not fund a pyramid.
Are you an official Shopify Partner?
Yes. Digitalmonstr has been an official Shopify Partner since 2022. That means access to partner resources, priority support and the latest Shopify features, all to the benefit of your projects.
What types of Shopify projects do you handle?
Custom Shopify stores, WooCommerce-to-Shopify migrations, Shopify headless with Astro or Next.js and Storyblok, speed and conversion optimisation, third-party integrations (payment, logistics, CRM).
Do you work with clients in France and internationally?
Yes. Projects run fully remotely. Clients in France, across Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. Communication is structured to stay effective regardless of timezone.
How does collaboration work from Mauritius?
The Mauritian timezone (GMT+4) overlaps generously with the European day: meetings in the morning and afternoon in common, deliveries in the evening. For UK/US clients, calls happen at the end of the European day or in the American morning. Standard collaboration tools: Slack, Linear, Figma, GitHub, Notion. No cultural or language gap.
Can you build custom Shopify apps?
Yes. Private Shopify apps (custom for a single merchant) and public apps (publishable on the Shopify App Store): Node.js, Remix, Polaris, Admin API GraphQL, Shopify Functions, checkout extensions. For business needs no off-the-shelf app covers, or to launch your own product on the App Store.
Why do your rates differ from a France-based freelancer?
Because my cost structure is in Mauritius, not in France. You get the same level of expertise (senior with 14+ years in French agencies, trained to European standards) at an offshore rate, with no cut on quality or communication. You pay for the work, not the address. Nothing to do with a low-cost shop selling volume: just a different economic equation, to your advantage.
How does the engagement work?
After a discovery call, you receive a detailed proposal with scope, timeline and pricing. The project is tracked through a shared workspace. You have direct access to the developer throughout the project.
