Ecommerce Staff Augmentation Services

Staff augmentation is a hiring model where a company adds external specialists to its own team for a set period. The specialists work under the client’s managers, and the provider handles hiring, contracts and payroll. In Europe the same model is often called outstaffing.

With staff augmentation, you manage the specialists and own the result. With managed services, the provider takes responsibility for an outcome, such as keeping your store updated and working. SPLIT Development offers both, with Shopify maintenance and support as the managed option.

With outsourcing, you hand over a project and the agency delivers it with its own team and process. With staff augmentation, the specialists join your team and take tasks from your managers. Outsourcing suits companies without a technical manager, and staff augmentation suits companies that have one.

SPLIT Development provides Shopify developers, WordPress and WooCommerce developers and UX/UI designers. We only place specialists in the ecommerce stack our own team works with every day.

At SPLIT Development, staff augmentation starts at $35 per hour per specialist. Hiring, payroll, a backup specialist and tech lead support are included in the rate.

Yes. You can add specialists when the backlog grows and reduce the team when it gets smaller. Notice periods are agreed in the contract before the start.
