# LOGAN SOLAMAN — The Store Architect > Shopify architecture specialist. Ten years engineering storefronts that compound: design, development, SEO, growth systems. Based in Hong Kong, working globally. Stores don't grow by accident — they grow by architecture. - **Website**: https://logansolaman.com/ - **Canonical URL**: https://logansolaman.com/ - **Tagline**: THE STORE ARCHITECT — EST. 2016 - **Location**: Hong Kong; works globally - **Languages**: 10 — English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, Español, العربية, Français, Português, 日本語, Tiếng Việt, 한국어 - **At a glance**: 10 years engineering · 15 storefronts built · 50 free merchant tools · 17 systems in the mission archive ## What this site is A static portfolio with 17 individual case-study pages and 5 service pages for Logan Solaman's Shopify storefront architecture practice, plus a browser-based 50-tool armory. There is no build step at deploy time: plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript served by GitHub Pages. Case and service pages are generated from `assets/js/site.js` and `locales/en.json` by `scripts/generate_pages.py`. The visual background is a WebGL2 matrix-rain shader built from a self-hosted katakana glyph atlas. All content is available in 10 languages via `locales/*.json`. ## Positioning - **Stores don't grow by accident. They grow by architecture.** - A storefront is a machine that turns attention into orders; every part either compounds or leaks. - Approach: theme engineering that survives updates, apps that earn their keep, SEO wired into the structure rather than painted on, and growth loops measured in weeks, not vibes. If it can't be measured, it doesn't ship. - Mission: give small brands the infrastructure of big ones — which is why the entire merchant toolset is free. ## Services — five modules, one compounding machine 1. **Storefront Engineering** — full Shopify builds from blank repo to launch day. Custom architecture tuned to brand and traffic, not a theme with a logo. 2. **Theme Customization** — deep Liquid/JS customization that keeps upgrade paths clean. 3. **App Development** — private apps, checkout extensions, integrations that earn their monthly cost. 4. **SEO & Velocity** — technical SEO built into the structure: Core Web Vitals, schema, international routing. 5. **Growth Operations** — post-launch conversion systems: CRO, analytics, A/B discipline, retention flows. ## Process — three steps 1. **Decrypt** — a free consult; find the real constraint. 2. **Blueprint** — custom plan with scope, stack and numbers. 3. **Launch & Tune** — ship, then iterate from day one of traffic. ## FAQ — 12 questions answered on the home page What do you actually do · Is this just a theme with a logo · Can you work on an existing Shopify theme · What if the app I need doesn't exist · Is SEO bolted on at the end · What happens after launch · What does the first conversation cost · What do I get before any code is written · How do you decide what ships · Where are you based / do you work remotely · How quickly do you reply · Are the 50 tools really free. Answers are drawn from the same service, process, manifesto and contact copy used elsewhere on the site. They are visible as HTML on the home page; no `FAQPage` structured data is emitted, because Google retired the FAQ rich result in May 2026. ## Facts at a glance - 10 years engineering · 15 storefronts built · 17 systems in the archive · 50 free merchant tools · 10 languages · established 2016 - First consult: free, no obligation - Before build: written blueprint with scope, stack and numbers - Reply time: usually within one day, worldwide - The 50-tool armory runs entirely client-side: no account, no upload, no upsell ## Mission archive — 17 systems, all built by hand, all on Shopify - **ALPAKA GEAR HK** (Outdoor, live, Hong Kong · Shopify) — https://alpakagear.hk - **SUUNTO HK** (Outdoor, live, Hong Kong · Shopify, localization) — https://suunto.com.hk - **KAVU HK** (Outdoor, live, Hong Kong · Shopify, localization) — https://kavu.hk - **DOD CAMP HK** (Outdoor, building, Hong Kong · Shopify) - **RAB EQUIPMENT HK** (Outdoor, building, Hong Kong · Shopify) - **HELIUM WATCHES** (Luxury, live, global · Shopify, multi-currency, multilingual) — https://www.heliumwatches.com - **NATACHA VAN** (Luxury, live, global · Shopify, Liquid) — https://www.natachavan.com - **KB FINE ART GALLERY** (Art, live, global · Shopify) — https://kbfineart.com - **TWO MORE GLASSES** (Wine & cellar, live, global · Shopify, 4 locales) — https://www.twomoreglasses.com - **INHERE** (Retail, live, Hong Kong · Shopify, O2O, payments) — https://inherehk.com - **PRODUCTPRO 百得好** (Retail, live, Hong Kong · Shopify, SEO, logistics) — https://www.productpro.com.hk - **TOPICKSTORE** (Retail, live, Hong Kong · Shopify, sourcing) — https://topickstorehk.com - **INFINITY LEARNING** (Service, live, Australia · Shopify, bookings) — https://infinitylearning.au - **FONOCO AUDIO** (Audio, live, TW/CA/US · Shopify, multi-currency) — https://fonocoaudio.com - **HKU PRESS — POS** (Infrastructure, Hong Kong · custom POS, inventory sync) — internal system, not a storefront - **CHI WAI STUDIO** (Art, live, Hong Kong · Shopify) — https://chiwaistudio.com/ - **MASTER PEST HK** (Service, live, Hong Kong · Shopify, bookings) — https://masterpesthk.com/ ## Open Armory — 50 free tools https://logansolaman.com/tools/ — 50 browser-based merchant tools across five categories: Catalog & Content, Pricing & Finance, Marketing & SEO, Operations & Logistics, Analytics & Utilities.

The 17 case cards are rendered client-side from `assets/js/site.js` with names/descriptions from `locales/.json`, but each contains a real crawlable `` to a static case-study page at `/cases/caseNN/`.
