Shopify stores
I've worked as a Shopify developer and consultant for over 8 years. New stores, theme customisation, theme updates, and setting stores up to sell overseas.
Websites, content, and AI support for small businesses.
I'm Eduard Fastovski, a web developer from Sydney. I've been making websites since 2013, and I teach what I learn on YouTube, where over 30,000 people follow my Shopify, SEO and AI tutorials.

What I do
I work with small businesses as a freelancer, and I'm open to part-time roles. Most of my work falls into these six areas.
Fast websites with Astro
For businesses that don't sell online, I build websites with Astro. They load fast, cost little to run, and you can edit them through a simple CMS like Sveltia.
SEO and AIO
Technical SEO, content strategy, and multilingual sites. Also AIO, which means getting your business mentioned by ChatGPT and in Google's AI Overviews.
Content and copywriting
Blog posts, guides and website copy in natural English. I also rewrite translated websites so they make sense to readers from another culture.
Video tutorials
I've made over 100 tutorials that teach people to use software and write code. I can make them for your product too.
AI and automation
I use n8n or Claude and other AI tools to automate repetitive work, like turning my videos into blog posts. I can set up the same kind of thing for your business.

What people say
I've had over 80 reviews of my code snippets and ebook, all five stars. These are a few of them, mixed with comments from my YouTube channel.
“I watched a video tutorial from Ed Codes for the first time. 15 minutes into the video, I immediately bought the handbook. The style of teaching is unmatched.”
YouTube comment
“These tutorials are BY FAR the best ones I’ve come across. You’re extremely clear, knowledgeable and amazing at explaining to help others understand code (especially as a beginner).”
“Works perfect - very light-clean code. Thank you for saving me hours and hours of work.”
YouTube comment
“When I don’t know how to do something I first search in your channel, then the rest of YouTube.”
YouTube comment
“This is my first time commenting on a Youtube video, but I had to because your videos are THE BEST. Your tutorials helped create our store. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Sending lots of gratitude from Japan!”
“Ed was super responsive to my question and his knowledge of Shopify coding is up there with the very best.”
“This is just what I needed. I'm building a new site for one client, and updating another. I thought I was a pretty good Shopify guy, but I'm learning to do things I didn't know were possible.”
“This is the perfect solution for breadcrumbs. I've been looking for something like this for months now. … Before purchasing this product I spoke with developers from several companies who were quoting hundreds … Ed has ticked every box.”
YouTube comment

Life outside work
I grew up in Sydney. For the past few years I've been living as a digital nomad, which means working online while moving from country to country. I've spent many months in Taiwan, Korea and most of all Japan.
These days I split my time between Sydney and Fukuoka. In July 2027 I'm moving to Fukuoka to study Japanese, and I plan to stay there. I speak English and Russian, and my Japanese is getting better.
I share the personal side on my second YouTube channel, @edonomado, and on my blog, edonomado.com. It's about travel, life in Asia and martial arts.
