Launching a DTC retail brand soon, building on shopify. Have you worked with any up-and-coming (read: budget-friendly, we are self-funding) site designers and developers that you’d recommend? Both of us co-founders come from ad agencies so we’re knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Highly recommend checking out upwork and source internationally. It may be trial and error, but the cost difference is more forgiving. More importantly, just start with an out of the box theme, build up revenue then customize your store from there. Just start. Don’t wait. Good luck!

I worked with thom foolery design co. on a Shopify website and branding buildout: https://www.thomfoolerydesign.com/. She did a great job in our opinion. You can view the custom Shopify website here to get a feel for the design/branding we came up with: https://www.loveshack-vintage.com/. I built the site custom because it was a fun side project for me. But I agree with the other comment that it would be best to start with an out of the box theme that you think would fit the brand. That way you can get up and running in a matter of days! Shopify is great!

I have ADD and occasionally make small mistakes in my work, like leaving a word missing when editing sentences, small formatting errors or leaving an internal comment in drafts sent to clients. All partners have been very understanding and care about the quality of my work, and no client has ever complained. Partners and clients praise my work.

But now, one partner has become super mad and when I explained ADD, he said:

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;

For FAR, what do most people think is a realistic number of modules to get through per day/week while working full time. For me, the hour lectures generally take up to 2-3 weekdays to get through lecture, MCQ, Skills, and Sims. By the time the weekend comes, I’m exhausted and need a break, but this seems too slow.
