What these samples show

These pages describe project goals, completed training tasks, and links to the demo storefronts. They are not representations of client contracts, revenue results, sales conversion changes or real customer outcomes.

Both demo case studies include genuine Shopify Admin before-and-after evidence. Gerardo Electronic Demo documents five title and description edits; Gerardo Home Design documents five structured description refinements with visible record checks. Supplier verification remains pending. A narrated seven-slide Shopify training walkthrough is now available on the linked video page; it is not a live client screen recording.
