E-commerce development

Online shops that cost less to run.

Build and improve shops, catalogues, checkout flows and the integrations behind them. We first identify whether the problem is the platform, an integration, the storefront or the way the system is operated.

Development and technical consulting, not just “we make shops”

A shop can feel broken because of one slow integration, an inflexible theme, duplicated plugins or operating costs that have accumulated without review. None of those automatically requires a new platform.

The first piece of work identifies what the shop costs to run, which dependencies support revenue or operations, and what change addresses the actual complaint. The result may be a rebuild, a targeted repair or a decision to keep the current platform.

What that covers

  • E-commerce architecture

    How the shop is put together, and whether the shape still fits the business it serves.

  • Catalogue and product systems

    Product data, variants, categories, stock and the feeds that keep them in step.

  • Payment and checkout

    Checkout flow, payment providers, tax and shipping rules — the part where losses are expensive.

  • Feeds and APIs

    Marketplaces, accounting, ERP, courier and marketing integrations that stop breaking quietly.

  • Performance and technical SEO

    Page weight, indexation, structured data and the crawl paths a shop lives on.

  • Migration, when it is warranted

    Moving platforms is sometimes right. We say so when it is, and say the opposite when it isn't.

The first answer is often do less

A shop is a system with a bill attached. Before changing it we work out which parts of that bill are earning their place, because replacing a working checkout is an expensive way to fix a slow homepage.

  • We will tell you not to rebuild

    If the platform is fine and the problem is three plugins and a slow host, that is the answer you get.

  • Operating cost is part of the design

    Hosting, licences, transaction fees and the maintenance hours all count, not just the build price.

  • Advice on the platform you already run

    We work with what is there — including platforms we would not have chosen.

Before changing a shop

What do you need for an initial review?

The public URL, platform name, a list of important integrations and a rough monthly or annual operating cost. Access can follow after the scope and confidentiality terms are agreed.

Can you improve a shop without moving it?

Yes. Performance, catalogue structure, feeds, checkout friction and unnecessary extensions can often be addressed on the existing platform.

What makes a migration expensive?

Subscriptions, tax and shipping rules, fulfilment systems, product variants, customer accounts and undocumented integrations usually matter more than the number of content pages.

Will checkout be unavailable during a rebuild?

The existing shop remains live while the replacement is built and tested. The launch plan defines data synchronisation, order handling and a rollback point before any switch.
