  • App integrations, custom features, and ongoing development

Vetting for this role

What we check before we shortlist a store builders.

General vetting isn't enough. These are the checks specific to this role, on top of the skill tests every applicant takes.

  • Stores you can click through

    Live stores they built or rebuilt. Design files and screenshots alone don't count.

  • Speed on a real phone

    We open their stores on mobile. Slow themes don't make the shortlist.

  • Migrations done before

    For replatforming briefs, we only shortlist people who have moved a store and kept its rankings.

Typical engagements

The three briefs we see most.

Usually 4–10 weeks

New build or rebuild

A fixed project with a launch date. Often paired with a designer, or a builder who designs.

Usually 3–8 weeks

Replatforming

WooCommerce to Shopify, or the other way, with redirects and data migration planned up front.

Monthly, part-time

Ongoing development

A builder on call for speed fixes, new features and app changes, without hiring full-time.

Typical ranges, not quotes. Your brief decides the scope and the timeline.

Store builders: questions

Before you hire.

Shopify or WooCommerce: which builder do I need?

Tell us the platform you're on, or the one you're considering. Most builders in the network specialise in one, and we shortlist people who have shipped stores on yours.

Can they move my store without losing search rankings?

Yes, when it's planned: URL redirects, product data, customer accounts and order history. For migration briefs we only shortlist builders who have done it before.

Can I hire a builder for a few hours a month?

Yes. Ongoing, part-time arrangements are common for builders. Put the hours you expect in your brief.

Start a brief

Send a short brief — role, budget, timeline. We'll come back with two or three people we'd hire ourselves, usually within 48 hours.
