Zak Hardage
I work with the Shopify and Wordpress platforms to build websites that help build businesses. Most often I work with my wife Lauren, the design half of Hardage & Hardage. I also work with the talented designers at Aeolidia and, occasionally, with other independent designers.
Before building websites, I served as a Naval Officer. When I left the service and began coding, I found the same principles that were successful in the Navy applied to web design. I may have traded my sea legs for CSS, but focusing on people and minding the details are still mission critical.
Get in touch if you'd like to learn more about a new website for your business.
Thanks! –Zak

“Zak’s knowledge and know-how through the entire process of launching our shop was exceptional. He worked quickly but didn’t lose sight of the small details while working through our difficult requests. We had a few shop features that seemed to be lofty request, but Zak found a way to implement them but still kept them simple enough for us to update on our own. Simply put, Zak is awesome!
“Zak was great to work with! He was thorough, patient and really helped explain the ins and outs of Shopify. He was always willing to do a video tutorial, remained completely engaged in the project and happily answered lots of questions in a timely fashion! The end result is a beautiful, elegant site that matches our Five Star hotel and spa. We are thrilled to start sharing it with our guests!
“Zak will not fail you! He always has a solution or a new idea, and he consistently meets (and usually exceeds) our high standards in creating functional, user-friendly, attractive websites for creative small businesses.
“Zak is extremely knowledgable about every aspect of Shopify, from building custom pages to answering detailed questions about inventory and shipping. Zak was able to execute everything that I needed to make my website exactly the way I wanted it. I am so impressed and fortunate to have worked with him.

“I am so beyond thrilled w/my experience working with Zak on my new shop! I’ve been super picky & opinionated & Zak has tracked with me every step of the way. He has proven to be perfectly knowledgeable, pays close attention to detail, & is always up for offering a creative solution & for thinking outside the box in order to accomplish my lofty goals for my shop (all with an excellent attitude!!!)
“Zak is absolutely wonderful to work with! Fast, professional, and great at problem–solving. He helped us work around not having gift certificates available through Shopify. We can offer them via our payment gateway and it looks great. We highly recommend working with Zak and will partner with him and Aeolidia on our development needs in the future.
“Zak Hardage has been a shining star in this project. An invaluable resource, shockingly accessable, always friendly, dedicated, hard-working and willing to go the “extra mile” regarding all aspects of developing and perfecting the code.
