:: Services / Ecommerce development
An ecommerce development company focused on more orders
Online stores lose sales to slow pages, clumsy checkouts and stock that is wrong. We build and improve stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and headless stacks, connect them to your ERP and marketing tools, and fix the things that cost you orders.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento
Headless when it pays off
ERP and marketplace integrations

:: Choosing a platform
Shopify vs WooCommerce vs Magento vs headless
There is no best platform, only the best fit for your catalogue, team and growth plans.
Most brands
Shopify
Fast to launch, reliable hosting, a large app store and good checkout. Best for most direct-to-consumer and many B2B brands.
WordPress teams
WooCommerce
Flexible and low-cost to start, ideal if your site already runs on WordPress. Needs more care with hosting and plugins.
Complex catalogues
Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Powerful for large catalogues, multiple stores and complex B2B rules, with higher build and running costs.
Custom experiences
Headless commerce
A custom front end, such as Next.js, on top of Shopify or another engine. Best for speed, content-rich stores and many channels.
:: How it works
How an ecommerce project runs
A new store typically launches in 6 to 12 weeks.
Week 1
Plan
Platform choice, catalogue structure, integrations and a fixed quote.
Weeks 2 to 4
Design
Home, collection, product and checkout designs approved before build.
Weeks 4 to 10
Build
Theme, features, data import and integrations on a staging store.
Launch
Go live
Redirects, payment and shipping tests, analytics and a month of support.
:: B2B ecommerce
What a B2B ecommerce store needs
Trade buyers order differently from consumers. These are the features that decide whether they order online or keep emailing your sales team.
Must-haves for B2B
Company accounts with several buyers
Customer-specific price lists and discounts
Quotes, approvals and purchase orders
Payment on terms and credit limits
Quick reorder and bulk order forms
Live stock and delivery dates from the ERP
Where B2B stores fall short
One price for everyone
No way to reorder past orders
Card payment as the only option
Stock levels that are out of date
Sales reps cut out of the process
