What are the key skills I should look for in a Shopify developer?
Look for developers who know how to build with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They should also understand Shopify's Liquid templating and be good at customizing themes. Ask about their experience with Shopify integrations and API development.
How can I ensure the developer understands my project requirements?
Clearly write out your project goals and what you want to achieve. Make sure to have conversations about these goals with the developer. Ask for a proposal or plan from them to see if they understood your needs.
How do I determine if a Shopify developer has a good track record?
Check their portfolio or past projects to see their work quality. Look for feedback or reviews from previous clients. This helps you know if they deliver projects on time and meet expectations.
What is the best way to establish a timeline for the project?
Discuss with the developer about each step needed for the project. Create milestones with deadlines for each phase of the work. This helps both you and the developer stay on track.
What should I include in the project scope to avoid misunderstandings?
List all the tasks and features you want in the project. Be specific about the design and functionality you expect. This helps the developer know exactly what needs to be done.
