Hire a WooCommerce developer
Hire a WooCommerce developer, from a small fix to a full rebuild of what's underneath.
For WooCommerce store owners whose developer stopped answering, who need something fixed without hiring someone full-time, or who want one team to look after the store for good. We look first, quote a fixed price, and the people who quote are the people who do the work.
The fixes we're asked for most
Most calls are about a store that worked yesterday. These are the kinds of jobs owners bring us:
- Checkout or payment stopped working after a plugin or WordPress update.
- A "critical error" or blank page on the store or in the admin.
- Order emails not reaching customers, or landing in spam.
- Two plugins fighting each other, or a plugin abandoned by its author.
- Wrong shipping rates or taxes at checkout.
- A slow store, or an admin that takes seconds to open an order.
- An old PHP version the host is about to switch off.
- Malware, spam orders or a Google "hacked" warning.
- A product import, a new payment method or a small custom feature.

How working with us works
Free store review
You give us access (we send a short checklist: hosting panel, store admin, FTP or SSH). We make a copy and go through the store from the inside. Within 3 business days you get a written list of what's wrong, ranked by what it costs you.
A fixed quote
The review comes with one price for the work it found: a Speed Fix when the store is slow, a Store Rescue when it needs an upgrade and a clean-up. The price doesn't change after you say yes. Half when we start, half when it's done.
Store Care
The store runs on a server we manage. A person does every update on a copy first and places a test order before it goes live. Small fixes are estimated before we start and billed at $150 an hour in 15-minute steps. Month to month.
Bigger stores that want a developer's time every month take Managed Engineering, from $950/month, with the hours included and their requests handled first.
In writing
80 or more on a phone, or the next month is free.
Every Speed Fix and Store Rescue comes with this: if your store doesn't reach a Google phone speed score (Lighthouse) of 80 or more within 30 days of the work being finished, the next month is free. You can run the same test yourself, any time.
How exactly we measure it
We test as a phone, through Google's PageSpeed Insights from a US test location. We take the middle result of three runs in a row, on your home page, your top category page and your top product page. Before we change anything we measure the same way.
Scripts added after we hand the store back (analytics, chat, ad pixels, review widgets, testing tools) don't count, because they run outside our control.
A store we put right
Kozelj.net runs on PrestaShop, not WooCommerce, and it's the speed case we can show in full: we upgraded it and now run it on our server. The old store is still online next to the new one. Both stores and the numbers.
What we don't do
- Magento, BigCommerce, or theme work on Shopify.
- Design-only projects and redesigns.
- Open-ended work billed by the hour with no estimate.
- Changes straight on the live store without a copy and a backup first.

Questions people ask
How much does a WooCommerce developer cost with you?
Bigger work has one fixed price, set in the free review: a Speed Fix is from $2,500, a Store Rescue (upgrade and clean-up) from $4,500. Small fixes are done for stores on a plan: Store Care is from $395/month and extra time is $150 an hour in 15-minute steps, estimated before we start. Managed Engineering, from $950/month, includes engineering hours every month.
Can you do just one small fix?
Yes, after the free review. We do not change a store we have never looked at, because a one-line fix on an unknown store is how checkouts break. The review takes 3 business days and also tells you what else is close to breaking.
How fast do you respond?
When the store is down, hacked or not taking orders, we start within 4 business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 US Eastern; on Managed Engineering you go first. Planned work gets a date in writing before we start.
Who actually does the work?
A small senior team. Aleš Gaber leads the engineering and works on client stores together with the team. You talk to the people who change your store, not to an account manager.
Do I have to host the store with you?
For ongoing work, yes. Store Care runs the store on a dedicated server we manage, because we cannot test every update and keep the store fast on a server we do not control. There is no minimum term, and your code and logins stay yours.
Do you build new WooCommerce stores from scratch?
We put existing stores right, up to a full rebuild of what lies underneath: the upgrade, the plugins, custom code and the server. We do not do design-only projects, and we do not work on Magento, BigCommerce or Shopify themes.
