How can I make sure the Shopify expert I hire has the right skills?
First, check their Contra profile to see their past work with Shopify stores. Look for reviews and ratings from other clients. You can also ask for samples of stores they've set up.
What should I include in my project brief?
A brief should have details about your store's products, target audience, and any design ideas you like. Mention any specific features you want, like payment methods or custom pages. The clearer your brief, the easier it will be for the expert to understand your needs.
How do I set project milestones for a Shopify store build?
First, decide on key stages like design mockup, store setup, and launch. Set deadlines for each stage so work stays on track. Milestones help you see progress and the expert knows when to deliver.
How do I ensure good communication with the Shopify expert?
Agree on how often you'll check in, like weekly meetings. Use a chat tool that both you and the expert are comfortable with. Good communication helps keep the project on track and builds a strong working relationship.
How do I decide on deliverables for my Shopify project?
List what you want at the end of the project, like a live online store or a custom theme. Break it down into smaller steps, like setting up payment methods or adding products. Clear deliverables help the expert know what you expect.
What should I do if I have new ideas after the project starts?
Share your new ideas with the Shopify expert as soon as you can. They can tell you how it might fit into the current project. Sometimes adding new ideas can change the timeline or cost, so talk it over.
How can I check the Shopify expert's understanding of the project?
Ask them to explain back to you what they plan to do. This shows if they understand your needs. Sometimes, a quick chat helps clear up any confusion.
