At a glance
What we build
We build and run online stores: product pages, checkout, payments, stock, shipping, and the systems behind them.
Problems we solve
The store is hard to manage, orders and stock are re-typed between systems, checkout loses customers, or the platform no longer fits the business.
Who we serve
Businesses starting to sell online, and stores that have outgrown their platform or drown in manual order handling.
How to choose
Choose the platform by your products, your team, and your growth plans. A hosted platform suits most stores, and a custom build suits unusual products or processes.

Our approach
A store built to convert, and the systems that fulfill every order
We build online stores together with the systems behind them: payment, stock, packing, shipping, tax, and support. The shopfront is the easy part. What makes a store grow is the work that happens after a customer pays.
Stores succeed or struggle on the work behind the scenes. If every order must be re-typed into three systems, growth makes things worse, not better.
We design the whole path, from the first visit to the delivered parcel and the repeat purchase, so the store can grow without a bigger back office.
Choosing a platform
Which platform fits your business?
There is no single best platform. The right choice depends on what you sell and how you work.
Shopify and Shopify Plus
Fits best
Most product stores, from small to large, that want a dependable hosted platform.
- Keep in mind
- Monthly fees and platform rules, but little to maintain.
Fits best
Stores already on WordPress, or those that want more control and a lower platform fee.
- Keep in mind
- You, or we, look after hosting, updates, and security.
Fits best
Growing stores with many products and complex catalogs.
- Keep in mind
- Fewer ready-made themes and add-ons.
Adobe Commerce (Magento)
Fits best
Large or complex stores with special business rules.
- Keep in mind
- A bigger build and more upkeep.
Wix, Squarespace, and Webflow
Fits best
Small stores and design-led brands with a modest catalog.
- Keep in mind
- Limited flexibility as needs grow.
Fits best
Unusual products, subscriptions, marketplaces, or rules that platforms cannot handle.
- Keep in mind
- The largest build, and a long-term duty to maintain it.
Platform features and prices change often. We confirm current details before you commit.
Connections
An online store and the systems around it
A store works when payments, stock, shipping, accounting, and messages are connected to it, not handled by hand.

How it works
What happens to one order
A good store handles each order the same way every time. Here is the path of one sale.
What happens to one order
A sequence of 6 steps. A customer pays: The payment is confirmed by the payment provider.; The order is recorded: Details are saved in the store.; Stock is reserved: Quantities drop so you do not oversell.; The parcel is prepared: A packing slip and shipping label are made.; The customer is kept informed: Confirmation, tracking, and follow-up are sent.; The books are updated: Sale, tax, and fees are recorded in accounting..

Choosing the right approach
How we pick the right approach
Most stores do best on a well-set-up hosted platform such as Shopify or WooCommerce, which keeps running costs low. We go custom when you need features no platform offers, such as complex pricing, marketplaces, or headless storefronts.
You get a clear recommendation and a fixed quote for the route that sells best for your budget.
Technology
The platforms and technology we build on
What we settle early: platform connections, payments, and reliability, so nothing surprises your team later.
We build on platform APIs (the ways programs share information) such as the Shopify and WooCommerce APIs, and extend platforms with custom apps or plug-ins when needed.
- Stock updates that avoid overselling.
- Duplicate protection on orders and payments.
- Monitoring and alerts for checkout problems.
- Staging copies for safe testing of changes.
Ongoing costs
What running a store costs after launch
The build is only part of the cost. Plan for the running costs too, so there are no surprises.
| Cost | What it covers | Who usually pays |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fees | The monthly or yearly charge for the store software, if it is a hosted platform. | You, directly to the platform. |
| Payment fees | A small share of each sale taken by the payment provider. | You, taken from each sale. |
| Hosting and security | Keeping the store online, fast, and protected. | You, or included in the platform fee. |
| Updates and fixes | Keeping the store working as browsers, payment rules, and add-ons change. | You, with our help if you want it. |
| Marketing | Bringing buyers to the store. | You, at the level you choose. |
Fees differ by provider and change over time. We confirm the current figures when we plan.
Small things that matter
The details that decide whether people buy
Shoppers decide quickly. They want to see the price, the delivery cost, and the return rules before they commit, and they will leave if they are surprised at the last step. We put that information where people look for it.
We also plan for the unglamorous cases: an item that is out of stock, an address that does not fit the form, a payment that is declined, and a customer who writes to ask where an order is. A store that handles these well earns trust, and trust brings people back.

Common questions
Questions about online stores
How much does an online store cost?
Most online stores cost $2,500 to $15,000. A Shopify or WooCommerce store with your products, payments, and shipping costs $2,500 to $6,000, and a custom store with integrations $6,000 to $15,000. Marketplaces start from $20,000. We also show the running costs, such as platform and payment fees, before you start.
Can you move our store to a new platform?
Yes. We move products, customers, and orders, set up redirects so you keep your search visibility, and test before switching over.
Which payment methods should we offer?
Offer the ones your customers already use in each market. We help you choose and connect them, including local methods where relevant.
Can the store connect to our accounting and stock systems?
Usually, yes. This is some of the most useful work, because it removes re-typing. See our integration service.
Can you set up subscriptions?
Yes. We build regular deliveries, memberships, and renewals, with clear billing and easy cancellation.
Will the store appear in search?
We build stores that search engines can read, with clear product pages and structured details. Rankings depend on many factors and cannot be promised. See our search and AI visibility service.
