FAQs

Got questions? We've got answers.

Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level Shopify developer now exceeds $160,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). Aside from that, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy at all times, so you're stuck paying for time you aren't able to utilize.

With the monthly plan, you can pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you're only paying for development when you have work that needs doing.

Believe it or not, we're an agency of one, which means you get to work directly with me. My name is (can you guess?) John Detlefs, and I'm the ex-technical-director of Acidgreen, one of Australia's premiere e-commerce agencies.

I have extensive experience both working with and managing high-end Shopify stores, and an excited to bring my expertise to you!

No problem! You can submit as many tasks as you'd like, and we'll work through them in the order they're received.

Nope! Once you've subscribed you can submit as many tasks as you'd like, and we'll work through them in the order they're received.

On average, most tasks are completed within 48 hours, but more complex tasks may take longer.

We understand you may not have enough design work to fill up entire month. Perhaps you only have one or two work requests at the moment. That's where pausing your subscription comes in handy

Billing cycles are based on 31 day period. Let's say you sign up and use the service for 21 days, and then decide to pause your subscription. This means that the billing cycle will be paused and you'll have 10 days of service remaining to be used anytime in the future.

We offer a ton of flexibility in how you request designs using Trello. Some common ways clients request work is directly via Trello, sharing Google docs or wireframes, or even recording a brief Loom video (for those who prefer not to write their briefs out). Basically, if it can be linked to or shared in Trello, we'll check it out.

No worries at all! We'll continue to revise until you're 100% happy with the work.

Absolutely. We want you to be totally thrilled with the code we've delivered. If you're not happy with the service, we'll refund you the current month, even on day 30, no questions asked.

See if our Shopify development subscription is right for you. (We promise... it totally is.)
