Ecommerce development

Shops that sell.
And hold up.

We design and build custom ecommerce: new shops, rebuilds and migrations from one platform to another. We start from your catalogue, volumes and processes, and choose with you the platform you actually need.

What we do

From the first product
to the thousandth order.

An ecommerce site isn’t just a catalogue with a cart. It’s stock, payments, shipping, emails and an admin someone uses every day.

  1. 01

    New ecommerce.

    Design, development and launch. Categories and filters built around your catalogue, clear product pages, a checkout without friction.

    • UX/UI
    • Catalogue
    • Checkout
  2. 02

    Rebuilds and migrations.

    An old, slow shop, or one stuck on an unsupported version? We rebuild it or move it to another platform, bringing products, customers, orders and Google rankings along.

    • Migrations
    • 301 redirects
    • SEO
  3. 03

    Integrations.

    We connect the shop to what you already use: ERP or management software, warehouse, couriers, payment methods, marketplaces and email marketing tools.

    Custom or headless ecommerce.

    When your pricing rules, configurator or order flow don’t fit any platform, we write the missing piece or the whole shop, with a separate React frontend.

    • Headless
    • React
    • Node.js

Which platform

There’s no best one.
There’s yours.

It depends on how many products you have, who will run the shop and how much it needs to talk to other systems. Here’s how we think about it.

  1. 01

    Shopify.

    If you want to start quickly and not think about servers and updates. Great for brands and mid-sized catalogues, with a custom theme and the right apps.

    • Hosted
    • Quick to launch
  2. 02

    WooCommerce.

    If you already have a WordPress site or want content and shop in the same admin. Flexible, but it needs care: plugins, updates and hosting make the difference.

    • WordPress
    • Content + shop
  3. 03

    PrestaShop.

    If you want open source ecommerce built purely for selling, with plenty of ready-made modules and full control over code and data.

    • Open source
    • Modules
  4. 04

    Magento and Shopware.

    If you have very large catalogues, B2B price lists, several stores or languages to run together. More powerful, but they need infrastructure to match.

    • B2B
    • Multi-store
  5. 05

    Custom.

    If the way you sell is truly your own: unusual subscriptions, configurators, complex pricing logic. It costs more upfront, then it never holds you back.

    • React
    • Node.js
    • Payload CMS
Migrations and rebuilds

Switching platform.
Losing nothing.

The risk in a migration isn’t the new shop. It’s what gets lost along the way. So we prepare everything beforehand, and check it afterwards. The details are on the ecommerce migration page.

What we bring along

  • Products, variants and images
  • Customers and order history
  • URLs and Google rankings
  • Content, reviews and pages

What we check

  • 301 redirects, page by page
  • Prices, taxes and shipping
  • Payments and order emails
  • Speed, before and after
How we work

Numbers first.
Then code.

  1. 01

    Analysis.

    Catalogue, volumes, warehouse and shipping processes, systems to connect. This is where the platform choice and a clear quote come from.

  2. 02

    Design and development.

    We design the pages that sell, from category to checkout, and build them on staging. You test and comment, we fix.

  3. 03

    Launch and maintenance.

    Go-live, checks on payments and tracking and, if needed, training on the admin. Then, if you like, we keep looking after it.

FAQ

Before you open
an online shop.

Which ecommerce platform should I choose?

It depends on catalogue, volumes, integrations and who will run the shop day to day. Shopify is the easiest to manage, WooCommerce and PrestaShop give more control, Magento and Shopware are for large catalogues and B2B. We’ll tell you once we’ve seen how you work, not before.

How much does it cost to build an ecommerce site?

It depends on the project’s specs: platform, number of products, design and integrations. After a first chat we send you a quote with scope, timing and price, with no surprise extras. We explain the figures you find around in the note on how much an online shop costs.

Can the shop be connected to my ERP?

Yes. We connect shops to ERPs and management software to sync products, stock, prices and orders. If your software has an API we use it, otherwise we find another way, such as a scheduled file exchange.

Will I lose my Google rankings if I switch platform?

Not if the migration is done properly. We map the old URLs and redirect them one by one to the new ones, keep titles and content, and check Search Console after launch.

Can I run the shop myself after launch?

Yes, that’s the goal. You manage products, orders, promotions and content from the admin, and we show you how. For updates, security and new features you can rely on us with an hours bundle or a maintenance plan.

Do you work on existing ecommerce sites too?

Yes. We start by reviewing code, modules and server, then tell you what’s worth fixing, what to rebuild and what to leave as it is.
