There is no certified amount that can be quoted for your project. It depends on various factors such as the expertise of the developer, the complexity of your project, and the location. The rates for the three levels of developers: front-end, back-end, and full-stack; vary due to their subsequent level of advanced expertise. Furthermore, it depends on the compartments of your store like design, marketing, development, or maintenance. The prices can start from $20/hour and vary with the level of customization. We keep all costing transparent to ensure a professional and long-term relationships with the clients.

You can explore freelancers on online platforms like LinkedIn, Upwork, and more to contact Shopify developers. Additionally, you can go through the websites of organizations that provide Shopify services such as OnlyGrowth. Another means of finding a certified Shopify developer is through the Shopify developer agency- Codal. Similarly, the Toptal platform works as a “matching service” between you and the appropriate Shopify developer for your business.

Due to the diversity of our functionalities, we do work on other ecommerce technologies. The platforms included in this category are Shopify developers, WooCommerce developers, Sitefinity developers, and Opencart developers. 

Hire Shopify Developers with Folio3 enables flexibility in the functionalities of the process. We offer flexible engagement options including fixed pricing, value based, or time-based pricing. A fixed pricing plan should be chosen if your project goals are predetermined, and the development budget is tailored to fit the existing expenses. Moreover, it gives broader scope for improvement of the business.  

Value based pricing is based on the delivered quality instead of quantity and thus choosing this pricing model guarantees higher quality content. It is best suited for freelancers with many years of experience who will deliver efficiently.

Time-based pricing is the easiest model to deploy as it focuses on the hours of work put in rather than critically analyzing quality or the budget. It can be used by small firms starting out who have little experience in the market and want to choose the easiest and most convenient option.

Our expert Shopify developers follow an agile web development process to understand their clients better and set goals to minimize risks. Shopify developers break down the development process to build much faster solutions that effectively suit your business. The development process is as follows:

1) Research and planning: This inculcates the idea generation and screening and clearly defines the business goals.

2) Design (SEO inclusive): The developers and owners coordinate to bring forth an appropriate and catchy web design that includes SEOs in the form of keywords and other tools.

3) Development (including prototype testing): Production takes place and prototypes are tested in the market to gauge the consumer response.

4) Launch: If step 3 is successful then the website is launched in the market formally.

5) Maintenance: Once the website is launched, there is customer support available to attend to issues and carry out continuous updates. Maintenance enables constant improvement and development. 

After careful consideration of your project requirements, we will assign a skilled and seasoned programmer to undertake your project under a renowned IT set-up. You will be required to read reviews and conduct interviews to choose a developer to your budget and liking. If the developer fails to meet your needs, then we will assist you in choosing a better fit for your business. We offer a delightful customer experience with a 100% success rate.

Like Shopify 1, Shopify 2 is also a platform and a majorly contributing factor to its success is its tech stack. Its tech stack consists of the following web technologies:

• CSS3 (and the Less CSS preprocessor)
• HTML5
• JavaScript (and jQuery, its primary JavaScript library)
• Knockout.js (which simplifies JavaScript UIs with the model-view-view model pattern)

• Ruby
• Third-party core libraries (Zend Framework 1, Zend Framework 2, Laminas, and Symfony)

To find a suitable Shopify developer, you must look for one with a certification, a minimum of three year long experience, and compliance to the regular web coding. Besides having sound knowledge of the technology stack mentioned earlier, one of the first things to look at is Shopify certifications. Following are the main certifications to look for while hiring a Shopify developer:

Shopify 2 Professional Developer Plus

Note: There is also an equivalent Shopify 1 Professional Developer Plus certification.

This certification qualifies for the developers to be referred to as Shopify senior developers. They are intended to be your project leads and solve complex problems on your project.

Shopify 2 Professional JavaScript Developer

Becoming a JavaScript developer enables the developers to take on the tasks of front end and back-end developers. It adds on to the developer’s potential. JavaScript is mainly used in the Shopify checkout process. Companies that aim for checkout customization should choose a developer with JavaScript certification.
