About
I'm Simon Mosse - a Bristol-based Shopify expert and consultant with over fifteen years of experience building e-commerce for brands that care about doing things properly.
I co-founded Thought & Mortar, a Shopify agency in Bristol, where I spent years working with ambitious independent and heritage brands on genuinely complex e-commerce problems. Migrations from ageing platforms, internationalisation, B2B and B2C experiences on a single store, bespoke features that the platform doesn't offer out of the box - that's the kind of work I've always been drawn to.
The brands I've worked with tend to share a few things: strong identities, high expectations, and audiences who notice the difference between something built well and something built quickly. David Austin Roses, Tanners Wine Merchants, Hilton Herbs, Lillicoco - they're all businesses where the detail matters, and where getting e-commerce right has a real impact on how the brand is perceived.
Now I work independently, clients get direct access to someone who actually knows the platform inside out with the experience to match. I like being close to the work, and enjoy both thinking strategically on larger more complex projects, as well as fully building small start up stores from start to finish.
If you're thinking about a new Shopify build, a migration, or want someone to help you get more from a store that's already running, get in touch.
