Your Shopify e-commerce is beautiful. But does it sell?

My name is Francesco Guiducci. I am a mechanical engineer and founder of IFG eCommerce. I work as an independent Shopify consultant and developer, and you can verify my profile and client reviews in the official Shopify Partner Directory.

From Rome I work remotely with Italian and international businesses on store creation, redesign, technical optimisation, support and Shopify development on the Basic, Shopify and Advanced plans.

I am not an agency: you work directly with me from the beginning to the end of the project, without handovers between departments.

My eCommerce IFG protocol

Impactful design for people, clear structure for search and AI

I put my name on the work because every store I develop, redesign or troubleshoot is handled directly by me. My method combines design, usability and theme quality with specific work on semantic structure, catalogue data and information consistency.

With my GEO Protocol (Generative Engine Optimization), I check that a Shopify store is technically accessible and understandable to search systems and AI assistants. I do not promise to force citations or recommendations: I remove technical barriers, contradictory data and signals that can make a store harder to interpret correctly.

My Shopify working method

Technical experience on Shopify

📐 ONLINE STORE 2.0 ARCHITECTURE

I do more than configure pre-built themes: I work on structure, Liquid, components and integrations to build stores that are maintainable and technically sound. Performance and scalability are evaluated on the real project without promising absolute results regardless of traffic, apps or configuration.

Different projects and business models

🚀 PERFORMANCE & SCALABILITY

From initial setup to redesign and the evolution of established stores. I use an analytical method to identify technical friction, usability issues and improvement opportunities, measuring interventions instead of attributing commercial results to the theme alone.

How I can help: technical and operational Shopify services

Shopify Store Development

I design and build Shopify stores from scratch, working on structure, theme, navigation and the buying journey. The goal is to deliver a clean, maintainable technical foundation aligned with the business model and ready to be measured and improved over time.

1:1 E-commerce Consultation

I analyse your business model, store and operational priorities directly with you to identify concrete problems and opportunities. You receive strategic and technical support without intermediaries, with recommendations applicable to your specific Shopify project.

Ongoing e-Commerce Support

I handle technical work, theme maintenance, bug fixes and new implementations on your store. Before modifying code or apps, I verify the cause of the issue and work to preserve stability, compatibility and performance.

e-Commerce Audit and Analysis

I analyse your store to identify technical errors, user-experience friction and bottlenecks that can affect performance or conversion. You receive priorities, evidence and a practical action plan for deciding what to fix first.

Shopify Development for Dropshipping

I configure Shopify dropshipping stores by working on the catalogue, operational flows, design and required integrations. The architecture is designed around the actual suppliers, volumes and apps used, without promising commercial results independent of the product and logistics.

Shopify Store & Conversion Optimisation

I analyse conversion rate, theme speed, usability and the buying journey to identify measurable interventions. The goal is to reduce friction and improve store efficiency, checking effects with real data rather than automatically attributing every variation to technical changes.

1:1 Shopify Mentoring

I guide you through the technical management of Shopify so you can become more independent with the theme, backend, settings and code. The programme is adapted to your level and the work you actually need to perform on the store.

Migrating to Shopify

I rebuild or migrate your e-commerce business to Shopify, working on the catalogue, customer data, URL structure and redirects. I map existing pages to reduce the risk of losing SEO signals during the move and verify what can be preserved before making changes.

Shopify GEO Optimization

I prepare your store so its information is accessible, consistent and structured for search systems and AI assistants. I work on crawlability, entities, structured data and catalogue information without promising to force citations or recommendations.

AI Blog & Social Automation

I design workflows that can connect Google Search Console, Shopify and AI generation tools to produce draft articles and social content. I keep a review and approval step before publication so automation and editorial control remain separate.

My Shopify Academy

Guides, checklists and practical resources for working better with Shopify

In my Academy I collect practical guides, technical checklists and resources based on the method I use in my Shopify projects. They are designed to help you work more systematically on configuration, design, Custom Liquid and store management.

The aim is not to promise shortcuts or automatic results, but to transfer practical procedures that you can apply and adapt to your project. There are resources for beginners and for people who want to explore technical or operational aspects of an existing store.

The material is organised to make it easier to understand what to do, in what order and with which checks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Where can I verify your Shopify profile and reviews?

I am Francesco Guiducci, founder of IFG eCommerce. You can view my profile in the official Shopify Partner Directory, where you can read reviews published by clients who have worked with me.

What kind of businesses do you work with exactly?

I work with different types of businesses: start-ups, SMEs, physical retailers, established brands, dropshipping projects and businesses selling digital products. I work on Shopify Basic, Shopify and Advanced.

How do you set up a new Shopify e-commerce from scratch?

I start from the business model and the store's real requirements. I configure structure, theme, navigation, catalogue and required components, then check responsiveness, usability and technical aspects before launch. The goal is to build a solid foundation that can be measured and improved over time.

When do you recommend I do a complete redesign of my store?

A redesign makes sense when the theme limits user experience, maintenance or the changes required by the business. Before recommending a redesign, I check whether targeted interventions can solve the problem so you do not rebuild the whole store unnecessarily.

Do you also handle quick support and bug fixes for graphic or code errors?

Yes. I work on theme issues, cart behaviour, responsive layout, Liquid code and app integrations. For changes involving areas or functions controlled by Shopify, I first verify what the plan allows and which part is actually customisable.

What is your GEO Protocol and how does it help my Shopify?

My GEO Protocol (Generative Engine Optimization) is technical work on accessibility, semantic structure, entities, structured data and the quality of store information. It helps make Shopify clearer to search systems and AI assistants, but it cannot force ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity to cite or recommend a product.

Do you only work in Rome, or can we collaborate remotely throughout Italy?

My base is in Rome, but operational work and consulting can be managed remotely. I therefore work with clients in other Italian cities and abroad while maintaining direct contact throughout the project.

What are the advantages of working directly with a freelancer?

In my case you have one point of contact: the same person analyses the problem, proposes the solution and works on the project. This reduces handovers and makes it easier to maintain continuity between consulting, design and technical implementation.

Do you also develop or provide assistance on platforms like WordPress or WooCommerce?

My work is focused on Shopify and the Basic, Shopify and Advanced plans. I can handle migrations from other platforms, but ongoing development, support and optimisation are services I concentrate on the Shopify ecosystem.

Can I simultaneously manage dropshipping and digital products on my Shopify store?

Yes. Shopify can support different sales models in the same store with the right configuration and integrations. Before setting up the flows, I check the catalogue, logistics, digital-product delivery and required apps so the solution is based on the real case.
