Developer Connection is an open, UK based networking marketplace where experienced eCommerce professionals can connect.

eCommerce developers can list the services they offer, and clients can connect with these relevant and experienced developers.

Anyone who's looking to find, or is, an experienced eCommerce specific developer.

There's really no restrictions on who, so if you're looking for eCommerce developers, you could be:

• An eCommerce business running your own store
• A development agency looking to bolster your in house team
• A recruiter/employment agency on behalf of a client

If you're an experienced eCommerce developer yourself, you could be:

• A freelancer or contractor with your own development business
• An employed developer looking for a side hustle
• An established development agency looking for new clients

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

• Inexperienced developers leading to low quality work
• A significant markup imposed on developer rates
• A lack of selection of developers that meet the project requirements
• Developers being unavailable
• Being inundated with countless bad applicants
• Long lead time to finding the right hire

Developer Connection has none of these issues:

• We just do eCommerce - and we do it well
• We only list experienced developers
• There's zero markup on developer rates making it highly cost effective
• We have a wide selection of qualified, relevant developers
• We manage developer availability so everyone you connect with is available for your project
• We automatically and accurately show only relevant developers - so you get straight to the shortlist
• Our service presents you strong hiring prospects immediately

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
