What to look for in a BigCommerce freelancer
A strong BigCommerce developer should know both the platform's built-in tools and its API surface, not just click through the admin. Look for:
- Stencil theme experience, the framework behind BigCommerce storefronts.
- Comfort with the APIs, for integrations, custom apps, or headless builds.
- Front-end skill: clean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that keeps pages fast.
- Migration know-how, so product and customer data lands intact.
- A focus on conversion, not just how the store looks but how well it sells.
If you are considering a headless build, ask how they would split the storefront from the backend. The answer separates true BigCommerce depth from surface familiarity.
