Most agencies pitch you.
This one shows up.

I'm Matthew. Kansas City. Self-taught between rig shifts so my family eats. Every site on this page — built with these hands.

After-hours by design.

Not a chatbot. Not an agency. One builder, one keyboard, one kid asleep on my chest — and your store getting built while the world sleeps.

That's what real work looks like.

Hand-coded. Not templated.

Every store HOO ships runs on the same four pillars. No exceptions, no shortcuts, no "we'll add it later."

NATIVE SHOPIFY LIQUID

No page builders. No 47 apps slowing your store down. Loads in under a second.

02

MOBILE-FIRST

Built for the phone, then scaled up. Because that's where your customers actually shop.

03

NO BLOAT

Every line of code earns its place. Faster pages = better SEO + higher conversion.

04

BUILT TO SELL

Every section moves a visitor closer to checkout. No detours. No dead ends.

One card. One bill. $175 (or $299) covers everything — the build, the Shopify hosting, the domain, ongoing maintenance, every monthly update. You never juggle three vendors to keep your store online.

Why one bill instead of two?

Because you shouldn't have to manage three different vendors to keep your store online. We bundle it — build, Shopify hosting, domain, maintenance — into one monthly fee. One card on file. One charge per month. Less paperwork, less to track, less to forget.

Why does HOO build on Shopify and not WordPress?

Because Shopify is more secure, more durable, and easier to keep running than the alternatives — and that matters when your store is making money 24/7. Three reasons below.

Is Shopify secure for credit cards and customer data?

Yes — Shopify is PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant out of the box, the same standard a bank uses. Every credit card transaction, every customer login, every personal detail your store collects is secured to that standard, and none of it touches our servers. [Shopify PCI compliance ↗]

Will Shopify still be around in 10 years?

Almost certainly. Shopify is 14 years old, public on the NYSE under $SHOP, and runs roughly 10% of every online store on earth. The platform you build on today will still be there in 2036, and your store with it. [W3Techs CMS market share ↗]

Why is Shopify safer than WordPress?

WordPress sites accounted for roughly 96% of CMS infections cleaned by Sucuri in 2022 — almost all from outdated plugins. Shopify is a closed platform: no plugin exploits, no outdated PHP, no 3am ransomware calls. [Sucuri Hacked Website Report ↗]

We could host your store on cheaper platforms. We don't, because your store's job is to make money 24/7 — not give us a side hobby of patching security holes at midnight.

One bill, every month. $175 or $299 to HOO — that's it. No second card to track, no Shopify renewal to remember, no separate domain bill. We bundle it all so you can focus on running your business.
