Eighteen years. Ecommerce. Priced as a product.

We priced our work as a product, not by the hour, because the hour is ending as a useful unit.

Time-and-materials billing made sense when hours spent and value delivered tracked together. That parity is diminishing because augmented engineering allows operators to work faster. A fix that took three days in 2020 might take three hours now. It's the same fix, with the same value. We've decided to stop pricing against a disappearing unit.

Our rates reflect what the work is worth. Published tiers, fixed prices, no discovery retainers, no hourly invoices. You see the price before you open a ticket. We confirm fit, we do the work, we stand behind it.

That's the bet. We made it early, and we think it's the future.

Fixed pricing only works if the team behind it can estimate honestly.

What the bet means in practice — not philosophy, day-to-day decisions about who's on the team, how the work gets priced, and what a buyer can expect.

Fixed pricing only works if the team behind it can estimate honestly and execute cleanly. That's why we built the team we did, and it's why the prices on the tier cards aren't naive.

We have a dedicated database engineer and sysadmin on a six-person team. Most ecommerce shops don't. They have a lead developer who also does ops when nothing else is on fire, which is fine until it isn't. A dedicated infrastructure person means bot rule misfires get caught instead of lived with, Redis drops get root-caused instead of papered over, and database bloat gets diagnosed instead of, "Just add more RAM." It's the difference between fixing things once and managing the same problem forever.

We publish tier prices and a ticket ceiling because serious buyers shouldn't have to extract a number through a discovery call. If a fix fits Quick, Standard, or Complex, you see what it costs. If it doesn't — multi-week builds, full theme rebuilds, greenfield migrations — we price it fixed up front, not on the back of a discovery retainer. Tailored Engagement is the honest exception, not a primary offering. The tier ceiling is the claim.

We work fast by default. Check-ins happen when they're useful, not as ritual. We stand behind the work we ship until a subsequent paid engagement touches the same area — a Standard Fix on your checkout in April doesn't become a maintenance conversation in October. It's fixed. We said it was. That's the commitment.

Six operators. Credentials on record.

Density is our positioning. An experienced team of experts. No photos. No hobbies. Just Facts.

Eighteen years of learning

We've been running sites since 2008. Myriadcore is the legal operating entity; ecommerce.dev is how we work now. Myriadcore built the practice — nearly two decades of client work across WooCommerce, Magento 2, Shopify, BigCommerce, and custom stacks. ecommerce.dev is the practice, without the agency packaging.

We've served clients across the country; some are small, some enormous. Usually we keep them anonymous, but feel free to ask. Either way, the work is the work.

Two paths out. Plainly stated.
