It's so refreshing to see a course hosted by a fellow business owner who understands what's needed. The lessons are clear, direct and easy to follow. The pace is perfect. The course covers all the essential components with no padding. Very happy!

The step by step guide is invaluable for non-technical people like me who are setting up a store for the first time, going through everything I need. It has saved me literally hours looking online on how to do things. The clear course content is also great so when I needed to go back over something it was easy to navigate.

This course gave me the know-how to edit the front end visuals myself with confidence. And it really opened my eyes to the power of working on a theme behind the scenes before putting it live. All it needed was for someone to explain it a straightforward and practical way, and that’s what this course does. Thank you.

Lyndsey has a clear style of teaching, which makes the course very easy to follow. It's reassuring to see the course has been created by a fellow business owner who clearly knows this area very well. Looking forward to launching my Shopify store now!
