E-commerce clients need changes this week, not next sprint

Promotions, product launches, and app problems don't wait. If store changes sit in a queue, clients lose sales and notice. A Shopify developer handles theme work, apps, and landing pages as they come in.

Media buyers wait on landing pages
Apps are installed and nobody knows what each one does

What your shopify developer takes off your plate

Set up products, collections, and checkout settings
Install and configure apps
Build landing pages for campaigns
Fix bugs and speed issues on live stores

Every hire starts with our Delegation Blueprint, so the exact task list is built around your agency before we recruit.

The AgencyReady System

The hire is one event. The system around it is the product.

Most firms hand you a hire and disappear. We stay. You get support as the owner, and your hire gets support of their own.

Delegation Blueprint: Before we recruit anyone, we map what to hand off first and turn it into a written role you approve.
Client Success Manager: One person who stays with you after the hire starts, not just until they do.
VA Mentor: Your hire has their own mentor, so you aren't the only one coaching them.
Quarterly calls: Every quarter we get on a call to see how the hire is working out and what to adjust.
