Several months ago, your site listed store developers outside (for pay). I have searched for the last 15 minutes but need help finding such help. I need real help to set up a theme for my store. I need a consultation to discuss what I need. How do I get someone to help me create my store?

I’m in the USA (Atlanta). I’m a digital artist, have my files, and know who I want my POD partner to be. I have many upfront questions and need a short phone consultation.

Hi @AlanBennington ,

I’m happy to provide you with help myself right here in the forums if you like! However, if you’d like to hire someone’s services you could also consult with a Shopify Expert.

Experts are a team of third-party developers who can make custom changes to your store on a contracted basis. As with all Expert contracts, requirements, and prices are agreed upon before any work commences, so you can always check in with a few different Experts to ensure you’re getting what you want for a competitive price.

Let me know if I can help at all!

Andrew, A lady, responded to me. I reached out, and I am awaiting her response.

I appreciate your email.

Regards,

Alan Bennington

Hi @AlanBennington - I have a new program going on where I’m offering some free help with your Shopify store. If you are curious you can see the whole context in this Linkedin post.

TLDR - I created form where people can apply to get their whole Shopify store be built for free. If you want, you can submit it here: https://forms.gle/xE2eay8dRx1n4HhJ6
