Hourly Shopify developers.
For surgical work. £85–£140/hr.

Send a brief, we match a developer from our UK + EU bench within 24–48 hours, kick off on a 30-minute call, and the developer ships against an 8-hour minimum block. No retainer, no monthly commitment — pay only for the hours used.

Yes. There is no retainer, no notice period, and no minimum month. You pay for the hours used; if you don't need more, we close out.

Eight hours. We have found anything below that doesn't get useful work done — there is onboarding overhead on every brief, including reading the codebase, understanding the stack, and aligning on conventions.

Mid-level Shopify developers start at £85/hour, senior developers at £105/hour, Plus architects at £140/hour, and CRO specialists at £120/hour. All rates include dedicated PM oversight in UK working hours.

Each platform fits different jobs. Upwork suits self-managed scopes at low rates and Toptal is strong for senior generalists. We sit in a different niche: Shopify-only at £85–£140/hr with a dedicated PM working in UK hours — best fit when Shopify specialism plus UK-hours coverage matters.

It usually does. If you exceed your block, we ask before continuing. If it is heading past 80 hours per month for several months, we will suggest moving to dedicated monthly — it is cheaper per hour.

You do. All code is client-owned and transferred on completion. NDAs are signed before work begins and IP-transfer language is in every engagement contract.

Yes. Our bench is UK-based or EU-based with a minimum four-hour UK overlap guaranteed. Daily Slack stand-ups happen in your working hours.

Within 5 working days for most briefs. Day 1 we send a matched developer profile, day 2–3 you do a kickoff call, day 4–5 work begins. Urgent briefs can start same-week if our bench has open capacity.
