We began life as the one man band of Jamie Derrick, who put absolutely zero thought in to a company name – hence we became JD (although still officially J Derrick Ltd) and later re-branded to JD Ecommerce.
Jamie has been a software and web developer by trade for his entire career.
As the client base grew way beyond the capabilities of one man, Jamie hired several developers in Ukraine, most of which now work for us full time. We’re incredibly proud of our ties with Ukraine and we get together in the beautiful city of Lviv as often as we can.
The company has since expanded further with the addition of UK based Prince2 and Agile certified project management and our Finance Director.
WordPress and Joomla were our initial specialisms, with WordPress now almost entirely eclipsing Joomla out of the picture. However, we still retain our Joomla expertise for our clients who need it.
Around 2017 we worked on our first Shopify Plus project (yes, we started with Shopify Plus!), became Shopify Partners and have never looked back. We’ve since been involved in the success of countless Shopify projects, from getting startups off the ground to building stores for large multi-nationals.
Since then, we’ve expanded our Shopify expertise to app development having launched Auto Schedule and became certified Shopify Experts.
