Questions

Before you hire

Developers coding side by side

How quickly can a developer start?

We agree a start date on our first call. You meet the developer first, and only start once you are happy.

Can I interview the developer?

Yes. We share a profile with past Shopify work, and you can run a short technical call before you commit.

What hours will they work?

Indian Standard Time, with at least 4 hours of overlap with your working day on the full-time plan.

Who owns the code?

You do. We sign an NDA before day one, and all code lives in your GitHub and your Shopify theme.

What if the developer is not the right fit?

Tell us and we replace them at no cost. The hand-over is on us.

Can I change plans or stop?

Yes. Move between hourly, part-time and full-time month to month, with 15 days’ notice to stop.
