E-commerce Websites
Selling online shouldn't feel like wrestling with a clunky platform. We build custom e-commerce sites that handle products, payments, and orders without the bloat of off-the-shelf solutions.
Why Custom E-commerce?
Shopify and WooCommerce work fine if you fit their mold. But the second you need something custom—special pricing logic, unique product configurations, or integration with your existing systems—you're hacking around limitations with plugins and workarounds.
We write your e-commerce platform from scratch using modern web tech. That means it does exactly what you need, nothing more, nothing less. No monthly platform fees, no paying for features you don't use, and no being stuck when you want to scale.
Core Features
Product Management
Full control over your catalog. Add products, set prices, manage inventory, organize by categories. Support for variants (size, color, etc.), digital products, subscriptions—whatever your business model needs.
We'll build you an admin dashboard where you can manage everything without touching code. Bulk uploads via CSV, image galleries, SEO fields per product.
Secure Payments
Integration with Stripe, PayPal, or whatever payment processor you prefer. We handle the security side properly—HTTPS everywhere, PCI compliance, proper token handling so card data never touches your server.
Support for one-time purchases, subscriptions, payment plans, whatever makes sense for your products. Customers can save payment methods for faster checkout.
Inventory Management
Track stock levels across multiple warehouses if needed. Automatic low-stock alerts, backorder handling, and SKU management. Set up rules for when products go out of stock—hide them, show "sold out," or allow pre-orders.
We can sync with your existing inventory system if you've already got one, or build you something clean and simple if you're starting fresh.
Smart Search & Filters
Nobody wants to scroll through 500 products. We implement fast, relevant search so customers find what they're looking for. Filtering by price, category, attributes, whatever makes sense for your catalog.
For larger catalogs, we can integrate Algolia or Typesense for instant search results with typo tolerance and smart ranking.
Order Management
Dashboard to track orders, update statuses, handle refunds, and communicate with customers. Customers get automatic email confirmations, shipping updates, and order history in their account.
Integration with shipping providers (USPS, UPS, FedEx) for automatic label generation and tracking. Or connect to whatever fulfillment service you use.
Customer Accounts
Let customers create accounts to save their info, track orders, and manage subscriptions. Or keep it simple with guest checkout—we're flexible.
Saved addresses, order history, wishlists, email preferences. Everything you'd expect from a polished e-commerce experience.
Custom Features
This is where custom development really shines. Need dynamic pricing based on customer type or volume? Easy. Product bundles? Sure. Custom shipping rules? No problem. Integration with your ERP or warehouse management system? We can handle that.
We've built stores with complex product configurators (think custom furniture or PC building), rental systems with availability calendars, wholesale portals with tiered pricing—basically, if you can describe how it should work, we can build it.
Performance Matters
Every 100ms of delay costs you sales. We use server-side rendering to get products on screen fast, lazy load images as you scroll, and optimize everything for mobile networks.
Caching strategies mean your product pages load instantly even with thousands of items. We balance real-time inventory updates with performance so your site stays fast without showing outdated stock levels.
Tech Stack
Next.js for the frontend and API routes. Database with PostgreSQL or MongoDB depending on your data structure. Stripe for payments (unless you need something else). Image hosting on Cloudinary or similar for automatic optimization.
Deploy on Vercel for global CDN performance, or AWS if you need more control. We set up staging environments so you can test changes before they go live.
What About Maintenance?
Running an online store means keeping things updated and secure. We offer ongoing maintenance plans that cover dependency updates, security patches, and adding new features as your business grows.
