E-commerce development
A store built for your customers and your business.
The page your customer buys from, and the order that reaches your team afterwards — one project, built together.

Development routes
Three routes — the choice follows how you operate
None of these is better in the abstract. The difference is how much customisation you need and what your store has to connect to.
-
Shopify
When it fits Building on an established commerce platform
A commerce platform that handles many of the store fundamentals itself, while we work on the buying experience, the customisation and the integrations your business needs. It fits when you would rather focus on selling than on running the technical base.

WooCommerce
When it fits Building within the WordPress commerce ecosystem
Builds the store inside the WordPress ecosystem — a sensible route when you already run a site or content there, or when you want wider control over the store’s details and its environment.

Custom development
When it fits Building around project-specific commerce requirements
When your business has a selling, pricing or stock process that an off-the-shelf system does not fit, we build the interfaces and the logic around your requirements and connect them to what you already run.
Discuss custom development
Every project is quoted against its own scope, once we understand what you need.
From listing to order
A store does not end at the buy button
What the customer sees and what reaches your team are two sides of one project. We design them together, not one after the other.
-
Product presentation
Images, options, prices and the details that help a customer decide.
-
The purchase flow
From cart to completed order, with as few confusing steps as possible.
-
Orders
The order arrives with its status and details, ready to be processed.
-
Management
Screens for following orders, stock and the day-to-day updates.
Integrations
What a store can connect to
What can be connected depends on what each provider allows and on the project’s scope. We settle which integrations are needed when we scope the work, and we assume compatibility with no particular provider in advance.
E-commerce development
- Payment gateways
- Shipping providers
- Your business systems
Connecting to systems such as CRM, ERP or Odoo is considered within the project’s scope. Building those systems themselves belongs to the business-solutions family, not to this page.
Common questions
Questions before building a store
Which route should I choose — Shopify, WooCommerce or custom?
It depends on how much customisation you need, what the store must connect to, and what you already run. We ask how you sell and operate, then recommend a route and explain why. There is no single answer for everyone.
Can an existing store be moved or developed further?
We review the current store, what it runs on and what it connects to, then work out what can be developed in place and what warrants a fresh build. We explain that before quoting.
Do you support a particular payment gateway or shipping company?
That depends on what the provider exposes through its API and on its terms. Tell us which provider you use or intend to use, and we will check what can be connected within the project’s scope.
How do we start a store project?
With a conversation about your products, how you sell and what you need to connect. Then we recommend the route and send a quote with a clear scope.
