Frequently asked questions

: The name is a play on the JavaScript operator typeof. We chose this name because it reflects our identity as a team of developers. Just as the typeof operator helps developers understand the type of a value, we aim to help our clients understand the type of software solutions they need to achieve their business goals.
: If it runs on the web, we can build it. We build custom software solutions for large, medium, and small businesses. This includes Shopify Plus development, ecommerce migrations, workflow modernization with or without AI, fractional CTO services, and custom web applications.
: Two reasons; First, we place sustainability at the core of our software engineering. Second, typeof is founded by developers and is run by developers. When you engage with us, you're speaking to the people working on your project. We are not a sales organization or a front for middle managers who outsource your development overseas. We are a team of engineers who care about delivering business value by building dependable software.
: Yes, we have experience with BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Magento, and many other smaller and bespoke e-commerce platforms. Often we're migrating merchants from these platforms and upgrading them to Shopify.
: typeof aims to be part of the climate solution. We believe that one of our key differentiators is that we care about Low Carbon (Sustainable, Green) Software. This is why we consider ourselves a different type of agency. The business solutions we deliver take into account energy efficiency and environmental sustainability from the start. For example, we practice carbon efficiency by using low carbon hosting providers. We also minimize the amount of energy used per unit of work--meaning we write code that uses less CPU cycles--translating into less energy used. We run your websites and workloads on hardware that is more efficient too. Software developers can all make an impact by factoring in the environment into our software development practices. Building green is cheaper, more performant, more secure, and more resilient.
: One of our core values is transparency. We use a project management tool that allows us to share project timelines, tasks, and status updates with you in realtime. Weekly or bi-weekly check-ins can be arranged as needed. We focus on tasks based on estimated business value, and we work to surface issues early to avoid unnecessary and costly delays.
: We typically work best with merchants with a GMV between 1 million - 100 million. While we excel with merchants who have a dedicated e-commerce / IT team. We have completed successful projects working directly with business owners on Shopify. That said, we are not the right fit for anyone who cannot dedicate the time required to fully engage in the project.
: typeof consists of a team of senior developers with 30+ years experience in the web design, web development industry. We are based in Toronto, Canada. We do not outsource work to offshore teams. When you work with typeof, you are working directly with the developers working on your projects. Our team is proud to deliver high-quality results without outsourcing any part of our development process.
