How to Find A Reliable a Magento Developer
Be honest with yourself. You can't run a Magento Store without a reliable skillful Magento developer as the backbone of your site. There will always be something that you need to be fixed, changed, added or removed.
And thus, many clients struggle with choosing a reliable developer for their needs. So here we'll give you a quick guideline on how to find a good developer to start your Magento store.
Know what kind of developer you need?
It's important to know which kind of developer you need in order to find the right one for your project.
1. One time vs. ongoing project
This is a vital consideration. You need to determine whether the developer can work on an ongoing project or only do minor tweaking on the store. You need someone that you can rely on. The best solution here is to test a developer on a small project first and if you liked it, you can sign the contract and work full time with them. The developer you'll choose will undoubtedly become your partner in your Magento store.
2. Agency vs. freelancer
These two options have its own pros and cons.
Freelancer
Freelancers are often than not just one person and a person can only do so much. Keep in mind that despite Magento being powerful as an eCommerce platform, it's also one of the most complex platforms. In order to really maximise its use, you need thorough customisation and one person can't do it all. However, they are cheaper and perfect for small projects. You can also opt to choose multiple freelancers but this means you need to manage the team.
Agency
They are far expensive than freelancers. But if you have a larger project and more complex store you want to be developed then an agency is the best choice. They already have a team of developers to work on your project and you don't have to micromanage them.
Make sure to be careful when choosing a Magento developer. Don't opt to a cheaper developer only to find out that they can’t deliver thus you have to hire new ones and you ended up spending twice or more than saving. Evaluate the size of your store or project so you can choose the best option.
