Ben was very helpful and very, very patient with me as he migrated my existing SquareSpace site over to Shopify. He was extremely speedy and detailed with replies to my myriad emails, and was determined to give me the information needed for me to be self sufficient and well versed in how to use Shopify, which is massively important when you run your shop yourself. His depth of knowledge about all of the apps was also incredibly valuable, as that alone can be very overwhelming. The job was done quickly and efficiently, which I really appreciated. I wholehearted recommend Ben!

He sets a high bar and I recommend him to anyone looking for help with Shopify.

Would hire him again in a heartbeat!
Sean Reeves, ABWOD Fitness![]()
I worked with Ben to bring my website up to date and improve the mobile experience. The work entailed installing and configuring a new theme. First, let me say that every other developer that I've worked with took 3-4 months to complete much smaller tasks. Ben assessed my site, gave me a proposal and completed my job in 20 business days and I couldn't be happier with my new site. Ben suggested several ideas on improving conversion and even provided a tutorial to get me up and running quickly. I'd highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.

James Harris, CEO, Divinis![]()
We were referred to Ben from our sister company who had just contracted him to refresh their website. After seeing what he created with their site, we knew he could help with ours as well. We originally had been somewhat hesitant switching from WordPress to Shopify because of a perceived lack of customization options, but after learning a ton from Ben, we realized it was a no-brainer. Ben works quickly, efficiently, and most importantly, he works hard. Once he was finished migrating the site and refreshing it, the handoff was easy and the walkthrough was helpful. On the relaunch, people were raving about its new user-friendliness. We're incredibly happy with the work he put in and how everything came out!
Alec Palmer, Head of Marketing, Momentum![]()
Ben is a pleasure to work with. Prompt response to any questions and has created our social media ads to match our brand with very good success. He started working our project as soon as we hired him and was able to generate some sales through the ads right away. Look forward to working with him again.

Nothing but positive things to say about our experience working with Ben. Great communication, timely service, personable, self-directed and always responsive. Took the pain out of a project that we didn't have the time or expertise to tackle ourselves. Highly recommended!
Charlie Kennedy, Owner, Red Gorilla USA![]()
Our company is growing rapidly and site performance issues had slowly piled up to the point it was affecting user experience. Ben has personally responded (often within an hour!) to all questions, comments and concerns we've raised throughout our first two projects, as well as checking in from time to time to provide us updates and previews of the ongoing work. From my original panicked S.O.S. email of something like "We need help fast! Our site is a big slow mess!" Ben quickly and thoroughly presented us with multiple ways to achieve our goal, then worked up an easy to understand contract after we'd agreed on how to proceed. He gave us clear expectations of how long the project should take, and actually finished the performance overhaul a day or two ahead of schedule. We were quite pleased with the results, and immediately began discussing our next project, A-B testing some UI changes. I'd honestly recommend BZDM to anyone needing Shopify work of any complexity done, but especially to busy people who value communication! Ben has always made the details and decisions simple and easy to understand.
Justin Moore, RaceDayQuads![]()
Ben has been invaluable to me in helping with my social media launches, branding and advice throughout the process. He is prompt, professional and a great guy to work with.
