Performance Engineering
$2,500–$4,000
Usually 2–4 weeks
For performance constraints affecting conversion, paid acquisition efficiency or storefront reliability.
- Comparable baseline
- Root-cause map
- Staged implementation
- Before-and-after validation
Pricing and engagement models
Three fixed-scope entry projects establish a baseline, implement the responsible change and validate the result. Ongoing capacity is recommended only when the work creates a real roadmap.
How pricing works
The written scope defines deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timing, acceptance criteria and a fixed project price. New requirements are estimated and approved before implementation.
Retainers reserve senior capacity and an agreed operating cadence. They are continuity models, not anonymous blocks of billable hours.
Step 1 · Start here
Defined entry projects
Choose the closest starting point. We correct the route during fit review and issue a written scope with exact boundaries and price.
$2,500–$4,000
Usually 2–4 weeks
For performance constraints affecting conversion, paid acquisition efficiency or storefront reliability.
$3,000–$5,000
Usually 2–4 weeks
For stores with qualified traffic and measurable conversion or search-system constraints.
From $5,000
Usually 4–24 weeks
For themes, migrations, B2B, applications and integrations requiring architecture and controlled release work.
After validation
If the constraint is resolved, we document the evidence and stop. If further work is justified, we recommend the smallest ongoing model that fits the dependency and cadence.
Step 2 · Continue only when justified
Ongoing senior capacity
These are continuity models, not four additional ways to start. Starter cannot be used to purchase a complete fixed-scope project at a lower monthly price.
$1,495 / month
Maximum 6 months
Temporary capacity for a small, understood Shopify backlog after the initial problem is already bounded.
Does not include an intensive diagnostic, a complete performance project, Plus engineering, migrations, redesigns, custom applications or ERP/PIM/WMS work.
$2,795 / month
Ongoing
Incremental delivery for one primary Shopify workstream and a prioritized backlog.
Excludes dedicated technical leadership, complex migrations, Plus architecture and enterprise integrations.
From $5,000 / month
3-month minimum
Senior multidisciplinary capacity for established brands improving revenue and technical operations.
From $9,000 / month
3–6 month minimum
Engineering leadership for complex Shopify Plus operations, integrations and releases.
How buying works
Select the entry project that most closely matches the business constraint. We correct the route when needed.
We request only the evidence and access required to define deliverables, assumptions, exclusions, timing and price.
The work moves through staging, QA, controlled release and comparable before-and-after review.
The engagement ends with documentation or a justified recommendation for the smallest ongoing model.
Share what is not working and the decision your team needs to make. We will route it to the responsible entry project and define the scope.
