Why use Developer Connection?

Other options to connect eCommerce clients and developers can have a number of drawbacks:

How much does Developer Connection Cost?

It's free!

You can create a project to connect with developers entirely for free. This will connect you with 5 individual, experienced, professional eCommerce developers.

If you're a developer you can create an account for free to list your development services.

You can find out more about what you can optionally choose to pay for on our pricing page.

How do I know a developer has availability to work on my project?

We automatically manage all developers visibility according to the available hours they've said they have to work, and any projects they're currently working on.

So if you see a developer, they have availability to work on your project.

The only thing we ask here is that at the end of a project, both parties come back to Developer Connection and click to end that project, as this plays into accurately knowing a developers availability.

Am I locked in to working through Developer Connection?

Unlike some other services where you are locked in to working through them for development work, that's not the case the with Developer Connection.

All that you need is to make that contact with the other party - so once you've exchanged contact details and clicked on hire, you're entirely free to work wherever and however you like.

Does Developer Connection take any commission or markup on work done by Developers?

Absolutely not. Unlike many other methods for connecting eCommerce clients with developers, we take zero commission, and don't add any markup to developer rates.

If I create a project will I get flooded with requests from developers?

Absolutely not. When you create a project, you will immediately get shown a list of developers who very closely match the requirements you put in the project detail.

At this point, none of the developers have any visibility of you or your project, but you are able to view the complete profiles of all developers who were matched.

If you decide that you want to learn more about a particular developer, you can choose to exchange contact details. Only after this point can the developer see your project or contact details.

How does Developer Connection match me with the right eCommerce developers?

When a project is created, we run intelligent matching logic which looks at the requirements specified in your project, and skills and experience from developer profiles, to find those developers who are the very best fit for the work you need doing.

What happens if I'm not happy with the developer I'm matched to?

Please get in touch and we will be happy to give you an additional 5 matches for free.

We are also happy to offer you first hand, personal assistance in selecting the right developer(s) for your project.

Where will the eCommerce developers be located?

We guarantee that every developer you find on our service will be from the UK. We use both IP and VPN checks to accurately determine the location of every developer who lists with us.

Is Developer Connection only for individual developers?

No! We fully support development teams as well as individual developers.

When creating a project to find developers you can select whether you are looking for an individual developer, or a development team.

When joining as a developer, you have the opportunity to optionally form a development team with colleagues.

Why do you ask for my postcode when I create an account?

Your postcode is always private just to you.

The only thing we use it for is to calculate the distance and travel time between you and the developer or client you've connected with.

This is designed to help both parties to make the best decision on who to work with.

Can I see reviews from professionals who have previously worked with a contact?

Absolutely. Full reviews and ratings can be left by both developers and clients, and are fully visible to both parties when you connect.

Do the developers use AI for their work?

AI development tools are becoming more sophisticated all the time, and while they can't replace an experienced developer, they are a powerful complimentary tool in a developers kit to accelerate and improve development work.

Because of this, many of the developers who list with us are likely to use AI to compliment and speed up the work they do.

They'll still deliver the high quality you expect, and often in a shorter timescale, making for a more cost effective hire.
