eCommerce Development

Storefronts built to convert, on a backend that holds up when a campaign lands and orders arrive faster than anyone planned for.

  • $40M+ processed through stores we built
  • 2.1x median lift in conversion rate
  • 99.98% uptime through peak trading
OVERVIEW

What this actually involves

A store has two jobs: persuade someone to buy, and take the money without losing the order. Most builds do the first well and the second badly. We treat checkout, inventory and fulfilment as part of the design problem, not as plumbing.

Storefronts built to convert, with the backend to support real order volume.

  • Checkout that does not leak

    Every step measured, every field justified, abandonment tracked as a first-class metric.

  • Fast on a phone on cellular

    Core Web Vitals budgeted and enforced in CI, because most of your traffic is not on fiber.

  • Stock that stays honest

    Inventory synced with your ERP or POS, so the site cannot sell what the warehouse does not have.

  • Ready for peak

    Load-tested against your worst realistic day before that day arrives.

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

The things that usually go wrong

01

Carts filled, orders never placed

Checkout instrumented step by step, then rebuilt around wherever the drop actually happens.

02

The site crawls on mobile

Performance budgets, image strategy and edge caching, with Lighthouse in the build pipeline.

03

Overselling and manual stock fixes

Real-time sync between store, POS and ERP, with reconciliation alerts when they disagree.

04

Peak traffic takes the store down

Load testing and autoscaling ahead of the season, rehearsed rather than hoped for.

HOW WE WORK

From first call to handover, no surprises

  1. We look at where you lose sales

    Your checkout numbers, what people search for, and the exact steps where they give up.

  2. We plan the store

    What you sell, how people pay, what shipping costs, and how it all talks to your stock and your accounts.

  3. We build it and load your products

    Storefront built, catalog imported, and payment and tax tested with real transactions rather than demo ones.

  4. We test the whole path to checkout

    On phones, on desktop, on a slow connection, and with your own team placing real orders before launch.

  5. We launch and watch the first weeks

    Live and monitored, then tuned on what real customers actually do rather than what we expected.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

eCommerce Development — common questions

An MVP sprint runs six to ten weeks from kickoff to a live product. A full build is usually three to six months depending on integrations. Maintenance retainers are ongoing. We give a range at proposal stage and a fixed date once scope is agreed — and if something slips, you hear it in that week’s update rather than at the end.

Fixed price for defined scope, a fixed fee for an MVP sprint, and a monthly rate for dedicated teams and support retainers. We do not bill hourly for delivery work — it rewards the wrong thing. Estimates come with the assumptions written down, so when something changes you can see exactly what moved.

You do, in full, from the first commit. Repositories are in your organisation, infrastructure is in your accounts, and design files are shared with your team. There is no license to renew and no dependency on us to keep operating. If you want to take the work in-house, we will help with the handover.

Two weeks of hypercare is included with every build — the team that shipped it stays on call for bugs and adjustments. After that most clients move to a support retainer covering monitoring, updates and a monthly allowance for changes. Some take it in-house instead, which is a perfectly good outcome.

Yes, and often that is the better arrangement. We can embed alongside your developers, take one workstream while they take another, or pick up an existing codebase. For inherited code we start with a short audit so both sides know what we are dealing with before committing to a timeline.

Small changes are absorbed. Anything that moves the date or the price gets written up as a change note with both impacts stated, and nothing starts until you approve it. The point is that there are no surprises at invoicing — you should always know what a decision costs before you make it.

For anything beyond a small, well-defined piece, yes. A paid discovery phase of one to two weeks produces a scope, an architecture outline and a costed plan — which you own and are free to take to another supplier. Quoting a complex build without it produces a number that is wrong in one direction or the other.

We agree the success measures before starting and instrument for them during the build, so the data exists from launch day rather than being retrofitted. That might be conversion rate, time saved per week, support ticket volume or crash-free sessions. If a number cannot be named up front, that is usually a sign the scope is not clear yet.
