5I have outsourced web dev work to Tim since I began my role managing 3 branded shopify plus websites. In that time Tim has consistently solved problems or escalated issues to shopify. He is always responsive to questions & in general I'd say we've had no problems & some big wins.

5I can only say best words for Tim Donaldson (The Suburbs), he really helped me a lot to set up Shopify stores accross many countries, I simply couldn't make project work without him. He is really dedicated, responsible, professional, always ready to help and to give advice. If I could rate his work from 1 to 10 it would definitely be 10:)

5A great contractor, only good words. Very intuitive, great design skills and they keep their promises. I am going to turn to them in future 100%. Our shop is still in its final steps of completion, but that's only because of our own decisions. The Suburbs guys have done everything we'd agreed upon (thumbs up!).
