Seattle, WA • 🇺🇸 United States
Shopify Developers for Seattle Brands
Outdoor gear, coffee and subscription commerce. Seattle brands tend to sell considered purchases to informed buyers, and the store has to carry a lot more product information than a template allows.
The Seattle Market
The Seattle Market
Seattle commerce skews toward outdoor and technical gear, specialty coffee, and subscription products, with a large pool of ecommerce-literate operators thanks to the city's broader tech employment. The buying behaviour is distinctive: Seattle brands sell high-consideration products to customers who read specifications, compare models and expect sizing guidance before they commit.
Practically, that means product pages carrying real depth. Comparison tables across models, technical specifications, fit and sizing tools, care instructions, warranty terms. All of it structured rather than dumped into a description field, so it stays maintainable across a few hundred SKUs and shows up properly in search.
The subscription side brings its own work. Coffee in particular lives or dies on frequency management and the ability to swap a roast without cancelling.

Engagement Models
Three Ways to Work With Us
Dedicated Monthly
Your specialist, full-time, on your tools and in your standups. Best for continuous roadmaps and brands shipping every week.
From $2,400 / month
- 160 hours per month
- Direct Slack access and daily standups
- Mid-level, senior and lead tiers available
- Monthly rolling, 30 days notice
Part-Time Retainer
A fixed block of hours each month for maintenance, improvements and the small jobs that pile up. Best for stores that are stable but not static.
From $800 / month
- 40 or 80 hours per month
- Prioritised task queue
- Unused hours roll over one month
- Upgrade to dedicated at any time
Project-Based
Fixed scope, fixed price, fixed deadline. Best for migrations, rebuilds and anything with a clear finish line.
From $3,500
- Written scope agreed before work starts
- Milestone billing, not full payment upfront
- 30 days post-launch support included
- Blended rate $25 to $45 per hour
A dedicated seat costs roughly a fifth of the loaded cost of a comparable US hire, with no recruitment fee, no benefits and no notice period. Most brands start on a part-time retainer and move to dedicated once the roadmap outgrows the hours. We will tell you honestly if a project quote serves you better than a monthly commitment.
Strategically Located
Strategically Located for Seattle Brands
We are strategically located to serve US brands, with team members based in the US and senior specialists available live during your business hours, not an offshore queue that replies while you sleep.
US-based team members
We have resources based in the United States who understand your market and handle your region directly, not a remote team guessing at local context.
Available in US business hours
Your specialist is live in your Slack, on your calls and in your standup during US working hours. You are not posting tickets into a void overnight.
Live, not asynchronous
Inside those hours you get the specialist in real time. Outside them, every ticket gets a written handover note so your morning starts with progress rather than questions.
