Hire a Shopify developer
Get the right Shopify expert for the job in front of you.
Hiring for Shopify is harder than it looks. Plenty of people can install a theme. Far fewer can write clean Liquid, build a custom app, fix a slow store or plan a migration without breaking things. When you hire the wrong person, you pay twice: once for the work and again to have it fixed.
When you hire a Shopify expert from us, you work with senior people who do Shopify work every day. Our Shopify expert developers handle theme code, apps and integrations. Our Shopify design experts plan and design stores and product pages. Our SEO specialists handle search and conversion. You tell us the job, and we match you with the right person, not whoever happens to be free.
You also get the things freelancers often cannot offer: someone to cover when your expert is out, code review on every change, and a team behind the person you work with. Unlike a single Shopify expert freelancer, our team can take on a quick fix today and a full redesign next quarter, with the same people who already know your store.

How much does it cost to hire a Shopify expert?
It depends on the type of work and how you engage. A small fix costs far less than a dedicated developer for several months. We give you a fixed project price or an agreed rate in writing after a short call.
How do you vet your Shopify experts?
Every expert has a track record of real Shopify work. We review their code and design work, test their knowledge of Liquid, Shopify’s APIs and theme architecture, and have senior team members review their work on live projects.
Should I look for a certified Shopify expert?
Directory listings and badges can be a useful starting point, but they do not tell you how someone works. Ask to see live stores, code samples and how they handle testing and handover. We are happy to show you all three.
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency?
A freelancer can be a good fit for one small, well-defined task. An agency like ours gives you backup cover, code review and access to developers, designers and SEO specialists when the work grows.
How will we communicate?
You get a shared channel such as Slack or email, regular written updates and calls when they are useful. We work on US business hours, and you always know who is working on your store.
Who owns the work?
You do. All theme code, app code, designs and content belong to you. We work in your Shopify store and your repositories, so nothing is locked up with us.
