  1. Just visited the site with FF, and got no such error. It's a Shopify site, and I'm sceptical.
  2. If it's a typical Shopify SBO, it could easily be a single person - the owner - working out of their house. There is no developer, except those employed by Shopify.

The owner probably populated the store themselves; the entirety rest of their computer experience brobably consists of browsing Wiccan forums, Instagram, and Twitter. And yet, they figured out how to open an online shop and start a business doing something they're passionate about.

Educated guesses, but poking around a bit on the site & following links gives good evidence this person is a person, not a company, and doesn't employ anyone, much less programmers.

And I've never had a Shopify site pop up a message like this. I think OP hit a fluke, or a MITM, or (most likely) has a virus.

I remember thinking "hah, business majors, don't they know everything is gonna be ruled by tech?" And then it turns out the tech nerds just work for the business majors still.

@tocopherol Reminds me of the Northwestern University football cheer, “We don’t cry, we don’t fuss. Someday you’ll all work for us!”
