Frequently Asked Questions

This page covers the most common questions from teams hiring for Shopify contractor support and ongoing Shopify development delivery.

What is the difference between project delivery and retainer support?

Project delivery is usually scoped around fixed milestones and implementation windows. Retainer support is structured for ongoing roadmap execution and continuous iteration.

Do you work on existing Shopify themes?

Yes. Most projects are delivered within existing Shopify 2.0 themes, with maintainable updates to sections, templates, and frontend logic.

Can you support both ecommerce and in-house product teams?

Yes. Support is available for in-house ecommerce and product teams that need senior Shopify implementation ownership.

Can support start as a short project and move into a retainer?

Yes. If delivery priorities continue after an initial scope, support can move into a retainer model for ongoing implementation.

Do you support Shopify Plus implementation?

Yes. Shopify Plus support is available for implementation, theme architecture, and technical delivery planning where larger operational requirements are involved.

Do you only work with UK-based teams?

No. I work with both UK and international teams. Engagements are managed with clear communication, practical scope definition, and direct delivery ownership.
