A practical training day for small business owners who want to learn about the Shopify platform

This day is designed for makers, shop owners and small businesses who want to learn how to build and manage their own Shopify site with expert support by their side. It’s ideal if you’re not ready to invest in a full custom build, or if you simply want to understand how your website works so you can confidently run it yourself.

You’ll spend the day learning, building and setting up your shop with hands-on guidance from me. By the end, you’ll have a solid, professional foundation and the skills to keep developing your site in your own time. It’s training, not a full build — but it’s the smartest way to get started online without feeling lost or overwhelmed.

Starting an online shop can feel exciting but also completely overwhelming. Where do you even begin? What platform should you use? How do you get all those moving parts working together?

That’s where I come in. I’m Helen, founder of HR Digital Design, and I’ve created Shopify websites for all sorts of businesses - from growing product brands to established local names.

One thing that’s become really clear along the way is that there are so many brilliant people with fantastic early-stage businesses who simply aren’t ready, or able, to commit the funds to a full website build just yet. Rather than let that hold you back, I’ve created this training day to help you get online with confidence. You’ll learn how to build, structure and manage your own Shopify shop properly with me guiding you step by step. It’s a practical, supportive way to start selling online and build the skills you’ll need as your business grows.

Over the years, I’ve seen too many talented business owners lose momentum because they get stuck in the tech, second-guess their decisions, or spend months trying to piece together a website that never feels quite right. This training is here to change that and give you the structure, clarity and confidence to move forward faster.

Shopify in a Day

Shopify in a Day is my solution to help you get online without the overwhelm or big upfront investment. Instead of trying to figure it all out alone, you’ll spend a focused day with me (virtually or in person, depending on the event) learning how to set up, structure and manage your own Shopify site.

This isn’t about walking away with a perfect, polished website, it’s about gaining the skills and understanding you need to create a functioning, professional-looking shop and keep developing it in your own time. You’ll learn how to build your pages, add your products and collections, connect your branding, and get everything in place ready to launch.

By the end of the day, you’ll have the structure of your Shopify shop in place and a clear understanding of how to keep building it. You’ll know how to add products, organise collections, and manage your pages confidently with all the key tools and knowledge to bring your shop together in your own time.

These skills won’t be lost; even if you decide to invest in a full redesign later, you’ll know exactly how your site works and feel much more in control of it.

Think of it as your foundation for growth: a strong starting point that sets you up for success and helps you move your business forward online. And when you’re ready for that next level, I offer simple options to help you refine or expand your site if you need.

Because your business deserves to be online and you deserve to feel confident running it.

Who's it for?

This day is designed for small business owners who are ready to start selling online but need a bit of help finding their feet with Shopify. Maybe you’ve been trying to muddle through on your own, or perhaps you’ve been putting things off because it all feels a bit too technical or time-consuming.

It’s for you if:

  • You want to make real progress on your Shopify site with expert support to guide you through the bits that usually trip people up.
  • You like the idea of learning how things work so you can confidently manage and grow your shop in your own time.
  • You’re working with a smaller budget and aren’t quite ready to invest in a full website build, but still want your business to look professional online.
  • You’d value having a friendly expert by your side to make the process feel clear, structured and achievable.

By the end of the day, you’ll have a solid foundation for your Shopify site and, more importantly, the knowledge to keep building it yourself. You’ll understand how to add products, organise collections, and make updates without second-guessing every step.

This is about giving you the tools, confidence and clarity to take charge of your online shop so you can keep moving forward, whatever stage your business is at.

Who it’s not for...

This isn’t the right fit if you’re looking for:

  • A fully bespoke, professionally designed website built from the ground up.
  • A “done-for-you” experience where everything is handled for you — from strategy and structure to design, copy, and launch.
  • A site that needs more advanced features or custom integrations.

If you’d rather hand everything over and have a beautifully designed, fully polished website created for you - without lifting a finger, my Full Website Design Service is the better fit. It’s a complete end-to-end experience that gives you a tailor-made Shopify site designed to reflect your brand, attract your ideal customers, and convert.

Your investment

This isn’t just about getting a website up and running, it’s about learning how to do it properly. The real value lies in the hands-on experience you’ll gain and the confidence to manage, update, and grow your own online shop in the future.

You’re not just paying for a day’s training, you’re investing in lasting skills that will help your business grow, now and as it develops.

  • Group Day – £650

    Work alongside other small business owners (max 6 people) in a relaxed, collaborative setting. You’ll each be working on your own Shopify site, following a guided step-by-step process with my support throughout.

    It’s a chance to learn together, share ideas, and build your confidence — while connecting with other like-minded business owners who are right at the same stage as you. Think of it as part workshop, part mini networking event, where encouragement, problem-solving, and fresh ideas flow freely.

What Happens Next?

By the end of our day together, you’ll have made huge progress: a strong, functional Shopify shop taking shape, the confidence to move forward, and a real sense of what’s possible for your business.

You’ll walk away energised, full of ideas, and ready to keep building on everything you’ve learned.

But I also know that for many people, the learning day sparks even more ambition - you start to see the potential, and you want to keep that momentum going.

Maybe you’d love an expert eye to help you refine the details, or you’d feel more confident knowing there’s ongoing support as you grow. That’s exactly why I offer flexible next steps, so you can keep learning, improving, and moving forward with the right level of support for you.
