Buyer's Guide


Tips for Choosing the Best Shopify Developers

With the number of Shopify stores soaring to six figures the competition has really stiffened. And, amidst such intense competition chances are high that your Shopify store would get lost like a needle in a haystack unless you take the help of a professional Shopify website development company.

Here are some qualities you should bear in mind before selecting your ideal Shopify development agency

Related experience

There are many kinds of Shopify stores, from the ones selling green tea to ones selling automobiles, each store is different and has to be designed accordingly. Hunt for a Shopify developer having experience in developing a similar eCommerce store as what you are aspiring to build for your business. They will add significantly more value to your project than the one who doesn’t possess such experience.

Communication

Shopify website development is a two-way process and there would be lots of communication to and fro. Before signing on the dotted line always clarify the mode and time of communication and how frequent communication is going to be.

Keep in mind that you are going to work with a team and it is absolutely necessary that you gauge the abilities of your team by asking for their credentials before allocating the project to the Shopify development agency. Knowing each member of the team will help you in communicating directly with the concerned team member. This will remove unnecessary bottlenecks and the process will flow smoothly toward completion.

Migration to Shopify

In case you already have an eCommerce website ask your developer whether they will be able to seamlessly migrate it to Shopify. It will save considerable time as compared to creating a Shopify website from scratch. Make sure that your website does not lose traffic in the process, an expert Shopify developer will be aware of these common problems and would work accordingly bearing that in mind.

Maintenance support

You do not want your website to break during the Black Friday sale, do you? A good Shopify developer will offer you maintenance support upfront as they know that online eCommerce businesses will require support in maintaining the website. A professional Shopify programmer will do stress testing of the website to check its performance and promptly fix the bugs as and when they are detected.

Support in the selection of Shopify apps

With more than 3000 Shopify apps to choose from you are bound to get confused as to which Shopify app will help you and which won’t. Your Shopify developer can pitch in here with their knowledge and let you know which are the most essential ones and which ones you can skip for the time being.

Budget

The budget is of utmost importance in any project. Going gung-ho and adding all the possible features in your Shopify store will escalate the costs with the velocity of a rocket.

Again simply going for a low-cost service provider also won’t be of much use as the quality of their work might not be up to the mark and won’t guarantee success in your business. Remember your main objective is to build a Shopify eCommerce website that actually entertains all your website visitors and supports in actually selling your products.

Ask for a breakup of the costs involved make a comparison by asking for a similar breakup from other companies on Topdevelopers.co. In this way, you will figure out a price range on which to negotiate.

We hope that these suggestions will help you in zeroing in on your perfect Shopify development partner. Selecting the correct partner will benefit your business by making your website stand out amongst the competition. The Shopify development companies provided in our list happen to be some of the top eCommerce development companies in the industry. We at Topdevelopers.co go to great lengths in order to hire the perfect Shopify developers for you so that you can concentrate on your business while the Shopify development company concentrates on your Shopify website.

In case you need more help, we would be glad to aid you.


Questions To Ask Shopify Development Companies Before You Make Your Choice

Can you give me some references of clients for whom you have developed a Shopify website?
Referrals are important as they allow you to gauge a company’s ability is a much clearer manner, take the contact details of their clients and ask the clients about how the entire experience of development was with the Shopify developer.

Can you develop a website optimized for mobile?
With more people using mobile sites as their preferred mode of communication with the brand, designing your Shopify website such that it is mobile friendly is imperative. Ask your Shopify programmer whether they have optimized the websites, to work on mobile devices, for their previous clients or not.

Are you going to hand over the code and the content to me?
Always clarify whether the developer will give you the code and content once the website is finished.

Do you offer Shopify plus development service?
Shopify plus is a premium service from Shopify in case you want it, ask your developer whether they can offer the same.

Are you going to provide a warranty?
A proficient Shopify developer will always offer warranty for a definite period of time, check the time and conditions of the warranty.

What is the time window for approving the final product?
Normally every Shopify developer will have a definite time window in which if you do not raise any issues the work is considered completed. This time window can be sometimes too small to identify the plaguing issues. Hence it is better to keep a reasonably long time window before you approve the work and release the payment.

Between Shopify and Magento, Popular e-commerce development platforms, which one is better for my online eCommerce store development?

There are many pros and cons of both leading platforms for your e-commerce store development. Read our blog on Magento vs Shopify to have a clear idea.
