What to look for in a Shopify freelancer
A strong Shopify developer should know Liquid and the platform's limits, not just swap themes in the editor. Look for:
- Real Liquid and theme architecture skills, not just drag-and-drop editing.
- Experience with your setup: Shopify Plus, checkout extensions, the Storefront API, and headless builds.
- A focus on conversion and speed: mobile-first design and a checkout that does not drop customers.
- Comfort with apps and integrations and knowing when a custom app beats a paid one.
- A portfolio of stores you can shop, not just mockups.
Ask to see two or three live stores and how they lifted speed or conversion on one of them. Real numbers tell you more than any checklist.
