Ben at Fat Buddha Web Design - Shopify Designer

About Us

We're a Shopify agency based in Lincolnshire, creating custom, high-performance ecommerce stores for brands across the UK and internationally, from small start-ups to established national brands and independent shops closer to home. 

Fat Buddha Web Design was started by Ben Dame. After several marketing management roles, where he ended up building the websites for the companies he worked for, Ben set up his own web design business. He has now been designing websites since 2010, has been a Shopify Partner since 2017, and has built a portfolio of notable clients along the way.

Ben now leads a small team of creatives and developers. From the first conversation through to launch, Ben remains your main point of contact and project lead- shaping the creative direction, overseeing development, and ensuring every detail aligns with your brand and commercial goals.
