• We, laymen individuals to IT industry, cannot
  digest meanings of
• variables
• functions
• arguments
• etc.
• Unfortunately, these are required to generate
  customized Magento websites.
• Just think about the food that is prepared by
  non-chef, would it be tasty? Similarly, to render
  a user-friendly website that generates sales by

  Developer who has years of experience in related
  field.
• Hiring Magento Developer involves many
  uncertainties.
• For instance,
• from which country, would you hire dedicated
  Magento developer

• For the purpose, I have presented an image in
  this blog depicting pricing of Magento developers
  countrywise.
• Further, there are 4 different levels of
  expertise
• Magento certified developer
• Magento front-end developer
• Magento developer plus
• Magento certified solutions specialist
• From the image, it is clear that if you hire
  Magento Developer India or in Asian countries, it
  would go easy on pockets.
• On the flip side of the coin, remote Magento
  programmer should be authentic and technically
  competent. Not only that, you need to have
  continuous monitoring in ongoing work. Otherwise,
  reduced price would be wastage of money.
• To reduce strain on your mind, I am presenting
  here 9 MUST ASK questions.
• If you value your money and want no loopholes
  while making ecommerce website, beneficial is
  going through this text.

Question 1 How many years of experience? Just
know that developers who charge as less as USD
10 per hour also present their complete resume,
along with areas of specialization/USP(unique
selling point). As we know Practice makes the
man perfect. we ought to follow the same. More
experience, higher expertise. But wait. This is
to be seen from two diverse perspectives. In the
first and the most common case, recommended is to
select a developer with at least 5 years of
experiences that has better insights and can
guide you step by step. Since you are a veteran
of other than software field, you need support
for many things apart from getting functional
code snippets written, like

• what to build
• what others have done
• how many pages
• call-to-actions
• how particular business logic can be implemented
• etc.
• In another perspective, you might hire less
  experienced (lt5 years) professional that will
  design according to your instruction. In this
  case, you have pre-generated plan, that is,
  wireframing of the website is completed. Even if
  you know all the changes to implement to make an
  ecommerce website, and when you want to deduct
  the cost by hiring developers in the restricted
  budget, you still have to stress for whether
  Magento front end or back end developer to hire.
  Therefore, this option is mostly for IT companies
  seeking to outsource the work. Spending coins in
  this second case is deduced because hiring
  Magento certified solutions specialist is
  completely eradicated.

Question 3. What will be the final date for all
work completion This is an issue primarily
proving as an ache for non IT business owners,
for they dont know what to expect in what time.
And ecommerce developers can geek and prolong the
process by showing delay on insignificant or
minor tasks. Tighten your grip over website
creation initiative by requesting him to drop an
email that describes a timeline mentioning all
tasks/milestones and related completion dates, in
the beginning of project itself. From a
practical standpoint, its ok that results may
deviate 2-3 days maximum, more than that
indicates problems in delivery and punctuality
issues. Further, once they have sent break-up
tasks, you definitely know what are the
activities to be undertaken. You can match this
with quotes by other developers to cross check if
anyone is deliberately presenting over estimation
figures.

Question 4. Reliability in Communication Observe
simplicity and truthfulness in communication
from the first call itself. Check that developer
has a detail oriented approach and answers to all
aspects of business deals addressed by you. He
might request to call in particular time range,
but should be available for elaborate discussion
during that time. Avoid Magento programmers who
are excessively using technical words/jargons as
they probably possess an intent to charge more by
creating confusions.

• Question 5. Quality of work
• In ecommerce,
• attractive ambience
• pixel perfect photos and
• catchy content
• play a vital role.
• Since customers cannot touch or feel the product,
  the only way to convince is to present all angles
  of product, or videos that show fruitful results
  achieved after taking your services.
• Low quality work often involves non responsive
  website structure that clutters visitors eyes or
  does not present various sections of the logo,
  menu bar etc. on smaller screen sizes.
  Proportionally, things that cannot be easily
  accessed by website visitors cannot be added to
  cart or wishlist.
• All in all, gauge yourself, determine what should
  be right disbursement based on their sample work
  and then only sign the contract. It is good to
  pay for quality, but equally remember that
  ecommerce developers market is highly saturated,
  and the developer would be knowing the worth of
  the salt he sells.

Question 6. Online Reviews Ratings I have to
inform annoyingly that internet marketing
techniques are on the verge of losing all their
importance. These days when Instagram followers
and Facebook likes are highly sought after
services by SEO agencies worldwide, how much is
it trustworthy to select a Magento developer
based on customer ratings. Few sites like
Upwork.com does not allow to endorse or drop
negative reply by noncustomers who did not
purchase any e-commerce services from this
developer. Yet, all indicators cannot be wrong
together. If a developer has a good timeline of
reviews maintained over Yelp, over
Freelancer.com, on stackoverflow profile, and
also has positive feedbacks for his website,
shortlisting does not harm. Later on, you can
eliminate those with one or more bad reviews in
case.

Question 7. Would hired Magento Developer to
provide Daily Reports with break-up tasks? If
you hire in different state/country, you dont
get chance to talk about issues over a cup of
tea. Although there is no problem in keeping
distant developer(s), at least one video chat
daily is recommended. Today, when there are many
group conferencing softwares like SkyPe, Google
Hangouts etc. available, distance hardly
matters. But as we know, a chain is only as
strong as its weakest link, so never overlook
ongoing development regardless of how much stable
and trustable your developer is. Having a
discreet daily report that mentions minute basis
work gives you an opportunity to measure
developers efficiency. Further, Daily Reports
sheet shared on Google Drive gives you an idea
about factors which matter when hiring a Magento
or other type of developer. You can ask future
developers to adopt format of any existing report
sheet that is easy to understand by you.

• Question 8. Documentation and Post Development
  support
• It would be the mistake to collaborate with
  someone who simply runs away as soon as final
  delivery is complete. It is essential to have
  versatile documentation of ecommerce website that
  depicts all important
• data points
• related usernames
• passwords etc.
• Also ask, once store goes live,
• Will Magento developer resolve speed related
  issues?
• Did will hire Magento certified professional be
  ready to add any missing features? How many?
• Will he be able to push and pull data with any
  3rd party system without requiring a purchase of
  an extension?
• Before finalizing the deal, ensure terms and
  conditions for post-development support are met
  and if needed, discuss with the developer the
  extent of upholding that would be served by
  him/her as opposed to taking it fairly positive
  yourself.

Question 9. Guarantee for Safe Secure
Operations To develop a secure eCommerce web
store, all ingredients or components should be of
the updated version. Here, PHP code writing
skills have their take, for codebase should be
solid that doesnt allow any single crack. To
summarize, Magento developer need not be a cyber
security expert but he should be capable to
materialize all cutting-edge safety measures
specific to Magento eCommerce framework.

Conclusion The scope of eCommerce project finds
no limit. There are endless possibilities when we
want to hire a Magento developer, all having
unique pros and cons. No matter the size and
nature of an e-commerce project, we, in this
text, went through top 9 aspects or questions to
consider whose answers highly touch upon the
boundaries of business success for anyone who
wants to make income by establishing an
e-commerce website. It all ultimately drills down
to the productivity of your developer who will
design/develop contour of your eCommerce venture.
Once all above 9 questions are settled down, a
final piece of advice from my side is to ensure

exclusive access and an alternative power backup
in case.
