01 / Custom or hosted platform

Four questions that decide it

A hosted platform such as Shopify or WooCommerce is the right answer for many shops, and I will say so. A custom store pays off when your business does not fit a template. Answer these four to see where you are.

  1. 01How standard is your checkout?

    A normal cart, normal shipping and one or two payment methods.

    Custom pricing rules, local payment methods, bundles or checkout steps a template cannot do.

  2. 02How big will the catalog get?

    A small, steady catalog that you can manage by hand.

    A large or fast-growing catalog that needs search, filters and bulk tools.

  3. 03What must it connect to?

    Mainstream tools that already have ready-made connectors.

    Your own ERP, CRM, accounting, courier or marketplace systems.

  4. 04Who should own the platform?

    You are happy to rent it and pay the platform its monthly fees.

    You want the code and the data, with no platform lock-in.

02 / The customer journey

06 / How I work

A clear path to launch

A structured, transparent process, so your store is delivered on time and within the budget we agreed.

  1.  

    01

    Requirement analysis

    We discuss your business goals, audience, products and the features you need, and I write a clear roadmap.

  2.  

    02

    Planning and wireframing

    I draw the sitemap and wireframes, so we agree the layout, navigation and user flow before any design.

  3.  

    03

    Design and development

    I design the store to fit your brand and build it on secure, scalable technology, sharing a running version early.

    04

    Testing and optimization

    I test function, responsiveness, speed and browsers, and tune performance and search basics before launch.

  5.  

    05

    Launch and support

    After final approval the store goes live, and I stay available for updates, fixes and new features.

07 / Why shoppers leave

Ten reasons shoppers abandon a cart, and what I build against each

Most online carts are never paid for. Some of that is people just looking around, but much of it comes from problems a store can fix. Here is what research found, and how I deal with each one.

Average cart abandonment
~70%
average documented cart abandonment, across 50 studies
Just browsing
42%
were simply browsing, which no store can fully prevent

  4. 18%

    Too many steps and form fields.

    No clear way to return or cancel.

    What I build: Returns and cancellations handled in order management, with a clear policy page.

  8. 12%

  9. 10%

    09The card was declined

    A failed payment with no way forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to what clients ask most before building an online store. Have a different question?

Ask me directly
Should I build a custom store or use Shopify or WooCommerce?

It depends on your checkout, catalog and the systems you need to connect. A hosted platform such as Shopify or WooCommerce is often enough for a small catalog with standard checkout. A custom store pays off when you need special pricing rules, local payment methods, your own integrations or full ownership of the code and data. I will tell you plainly which fits your project, and if WooCommerce is the better fit I will say so.

Which payment gateways can you integrate?

I integrate trusted providers such as PayPal, Stripe and Square, which support cards, wallets and local payment methods. I choose the gateways that suit your customers and your country, and I test the full payment flow before launch.

Can you redesign or improve my existing online store?

Yes. I can refresh the design, improve speed and add new functions to a store you already run. I start by reviewing what you have and listing the changes that matter most, so we fix the biggest problems first.

Can you build a multi-vendor marketplace?

Yes. In a marketplace each seller gets their own dashboard for products and orders, while you keep control of commissions, rules and the overall platform.

Will my store be fast, mobile friendly and SEO ready?

Yes. I build mobile first with clean code and fast-loading layouts, and I set up the structure that search engines need, such as clear categories, page titles and structured data. Speed and search basics are part of testing before launch.

Can the store connect to my ERP, CRM, courier or accounting software?

Yes. I connect stores to CRMs, ERPs, marketing tools, courier services and other third-party systems through their APIs, and I test each connection so orders, stock and customer data stay in step.

How much does a custom store cost, and how long does it take?

It depends on the number of products, the design, the payment methods, the integrations, and extras such as vendors, languages or currencies. A starter store takes less time than a marketplace. After we talk I send a quote and a timeline for a clear scope, and for larger stores I suggest phases so you can start selling early.

Do you offer support after launch?

Yes. I provide 6 to 12 months of support after launch, covering bug fixes and minor adjustments. I can also help with updates, new features and ongoing maintenance as your store grows.
