Website, eCommerce & Software development, fixes & ongoing support

Keep your Business moving.

I help growing businesses improve their software, fix stubborn bugs, and keep the day-to-day development backlog under control.

Built for ongoing work

How I can help

Development support that fits the work in front of you.

Start with one clearly defined fix, bundle a group of improvements into a sprint, or keep a developer available month after month.

  1. Shopify theme development

    Custom sections, product and collection templates, navigation updates, responsive polish, and practical improvements to the theme you already use.

  2. Bug fixes & troubleshooting

    I trace storefront problems to the source—whether the issue lives in Liquid, JavaScript, CSS, theme settings, or a third-party app integration.

  3. Monthly maintenance

    Reserved development support for the small fixes, content changes, theme updates, and improvements that keep piling up between larger projects.

  4. Accessibility improvements

    Source-level ADA and WCAG remediation informed by experience improving nearly 150 websites—without relying on overlay widgets.

Monthly maintenance

Stop letting the small stuff slow the store down.

A monthly arrangement gives your team dependable access to development help without starting a new hiring process for every theme change or bug.

Representative work

Deep ecommerce experience, applied to the details.

I have worked across Shopify, Miva, WordPress, BigCommerce, Magento, Drupal, and custom platforms—so I know how storefront decisions affect the wider business.

Miva ecommerce redesign

College Hills Honda

One of two developers who rebuilt the storefront from designer mockups using Miva, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, SCSS, PHP, and custom libraries.

Accessibility remediation

Nearly 150 websites improved

Source-level accessibility work across ecommerce, hospitality, retail, and technology websites, with testing and clear handoff documentation.

Accessibility is part of good development

Fix barriers in the website—not with a layer on top of it.

I also provide focused accessibility audits, source-code remediation, validation, and ongoing support for businesses responding to an issue or improving proactively.

A clear process

From “something is broken” to a clean handoff.

You will know what I am reviewing, what I am changing, and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Share the problem

    Send the store link, what you want changed, and any examples or screenshots that help explain the goal.

  2. 02

    Confirm the scope

    I review the theme and requirements, flag dependencies, and turn the request into a practical plan.

  3. 03

    Build & test

    I make the change in the appropriate development environment and test the relevant storefront paths.

  4. 04

    Launch & support

    You receive a clear handoff, and I stay available for follow-up work or ongoing maintenance.

Independent, experienced, direct

Hi, I’m Caine Barber.

I’m the developer behind Creative Signals. I have been building software since 2011 and working independently with clients since 2018.

When you hire me, you work directly with the person investigating the issue, changing the code, and explaining the result. I’m based in Ohio, work in Eastern Time, and communicate clearly throughout the project.

Good questions

Before we get started.

Can you work with my existing Shopify theme?

Yes. Most of my work is about improving an existing storefront rather than replacing it. I will review the theme, apps, and request before confirming the safest approach.

Do you take one-time bug-fix projects?

Yes. A focused fix is often the best place to start. If the issue uncovers a larger dependency, I will explain it before expanding the scope.

How does monthly maintenance work?

We agree on a recurring level of support, prioritize the backlog together, and use the available time for fixes, small features, QA, and storefront improvements. Availability and scope are confirmed before the month begins.

Can accessibility be included in regular development?

Yes. Accessibility can be part of theme work and maintenance, or handled as a separate audit and remediation project when a deeper review is needed.
