Как Chris привлекал клиентов
Инструменты, использованные для создания GemPages
Chris Koh spent years working with eSellers before writing the first code for GemPages, a Shopify page builder now used by 100K+ merchants.
Chris Koh spent years working with worldwide eSellers, understanding their challenges firsthand. He saw that most merchants struggled to build professional-looking pages without developers.
Shopify's default page editor was limiting. Merchants wanted landing pages, product pages, and homepages that could compete with bigger brands - but couldn't afford custom development.
Chris wrote the first code for GemPages to simplify and visualize web design for all. The platform lets merchants drag and drop elements to create conversion-focused pages without coding.
GemPages rode the wave of the no-code movement, making professional web design accessible. The focus on conversion optimization - not just aesthetics - differentiated them from basic page builders.
Through a combination of SEO, Shopify App Store optimization, and word-of-mouth, GemPages grew to serve 100,000+ Shopify brands worldwide.
