Use it for

A monthly seat, not a transaction.

USE DEDICATED MONTHLY WHEN
  • You'll need 80+ hours/month, three months running
  • You want the same person every week — context compounds
  • The work is a continuous backlog, not a brief
  • You're effectively building an in-house seat — without payroll
USE HOURLY INSTEAD WHEN
  • You have a one-off fix or sprint
  • You need <40 hrs/month
  • It's a discrete project with a defined end
  • You want to test the relationship first — start hourly

§ 06
FAQ

Dedicated monthly questions.

What is a dedicated monthly Shopify developer?+

A dedicated monthly developer is a Shopify specialist embedded with your team for a fixed number of hours each month (typically 80–160). Same person, same Slack channel, same dedicated PM working in UK hours, billed at a flat monthly rate from £2,200/month.

How fast can a dedicated developer start?+

48 hours to match a developer, then a 7-day paid trial inside the same week. Steady-state work begins from day 8 with a kickoff plan documented in your project tooling.

What if the first match isn't right?+

Replacement in 72 hours, no questions asked. We have replaced 4 developers across 60+ engagements — the bar is "would I rehire this person", not "did they technically meet scope".

Do I get the same developer every month?+

Yes. The point of dedicated is continuity — the same developer, same Slack channel, same dedicated PM, every month. Holiday cover is provided by a familiar developer from the same bench.

What's included beyond the developer?+

Dedicated PM oversight on every engagement, weekly Loom updates from the developer, monthly invoice with time tracking, NDA + IP transfer in the contract, and replacement guarantee.

Can I scale developer capacity up or down?+

Yes. 30 days notice to add or remove a developer. We do not do annual lock-ins. Mid-month overage hours are flagged before they bill, never after.

Hourly vs dedicated monthly — when do I switch?+

If you are using more than 80 hours per month for three months running, dedicated is cheaper per hour. We flag it on your monthly invoice rather than waiting for you to ask.

How much does a dedicated monthly Shopify developer cost?+

Junior specialists from £2,200/month, mid-level experts from £3,500/month, senior developers from £4,800/month, and lead architects from £6,500/month. All rates include dedicated PM oversight in UK working hours, NDA, and replacement guarantee.

Are dedicated developers based in the UK?+

The bench is UK-based or EU-based with a minimum four-hour UK overlap guaranteed. PM is always UK-based. Some specialist developers are India-based remote — every engagement makes the location transparent before contract.

Can my agency use dedicated developers white-label?+

Yes — see our white-label programme. NDA + brand suppression are standard. The developer represents themselves as part of your team in client Slack and stand-ups.
