Placing Shopify + AI developers, see open talent

Shopify Development

Shopify builds that hold up past launch day.

Themes, Hydrogen storefronts, Plus migrations, and custom apps, built by engineers who've shipped real stores under real Black Friday traffic, not just staging environments.

Same vetting bar either way, whether we staff the project or fill the seat. See the rubric

Questions

Answered before you ask.

Most stores are best served by a custom theme. It's faster to ship and every Shopify app works with it out of the box. Headless (Hydrogen) earns its cost when your storefront needs application logic a theme can't express, like a configurator or deep personalization.

A custom theme typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on catalog complexity and how much merchandising flexibility you need. A Plus migration or headless rebuild usually runs 8–16 weeks.

Yes. We audit your current app stack as part of scoping and keep what's working, the goal is a faster, cleaner store, not a rip-and-replace of tools your team already relies on.

Yes. Load and stress testing against realistic Black Friday traffic patterns is a standard part of any storefront engagement launching near peak season.

Yes. Completely, from day one. You get the repository, documentation, and full access. Nothing is locked to a proprietary template or held back.
