A new ecommerce store, built around how you sell

Every online store starts with the same question: what does your business actually need to sell more? Before writing a line of code we map your catalog, your customers and your order flow — then choose the platform and architecture that fit. For most projects that means Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) for larger catalogs and multi-market retail, or Shopware 6 when speed to launch and a modern, API-first foundation matter most.

You get a custom-built store, not a template with your logo on it: an interface designed for your brand, a checkout tuned for conversion, and a codebase your team can maintain and extend for years.

Rebuilding an existing store

If your current shop is slow, hard to manage or simply outgrown, a rebuild is often cheaper than patching it indefinitely. We migrate your products, customers, orders and SEO structure carefully — keeping your rankings intact — and rebuild the storefront on a modern foundation. Common reasons clients come to us:

  • The store loads slowly and conversion keeps dropping
  • Magento 1 has reached end of life and needs migrating to Magento 2
  • The previous developer left the codebase unmaintainable
  • Growth into new markets or languages the current setup can’t handle
  • Manual work that should be automated through ERP integration

What’s included

One team covers the whole build, so nothing falls between design, development and launch.

01

Strategy & platform choice

Catalog, audience and integration analysis, then an honest recommendation: Magento 2, Shopware, or something else entirely.

02

UX & interface design

Category and product page design, mobile-first layouts, and a checkout flow built to reduce cart abandonment.

03

Custom development

Clean, tested, upgrade-safe code — custom themes, modules and the features standard platforms don’t cover.

04

Integrations

ERP, PIM, payments and shipping connected: Pantheon, SAOP, Navision, SAP, Akeneo, Pošta Slovenije, GLS, DHL.

05

Data migration & SEO

Products, customers, orders and URL structure moved across without losing search rankings.

06

Launch & ongoing support

Load testing, monitoring and an SLA-backed support agreement so the store keeps performing after go-live.

07

AI-powered webshop features

AI search and product recommendations, automated product descriptions and translations, and chatbots that answer buyer questions and reduce support load.

Why build on Magento 2 or Shopware

Magento 2
Adobe Commerce & Open Source

The strongest choice for larger retail catalogs, multi-store and multi-language shops, and promotions or loyalty rules that go beyond the basics. It handles seasonal traffic peaks and integrates deeply with ERP systems.

→Large catalogs with complex product data
→Multi-store, multi-language and multi-currency
→Advanced promotions, pricing rules and loyalty
Shopware 6
Cloud & self-hosted

A modern, API-first platform that launches faster and stays flexible — a strong fit for growing D2C and retail brands that want headless options without enterprise overhead.

→Faster time to launch for a first or second store
→Clean admin your marketing team can run
→Headless and API-first when you need it

We work with both, so the recommendation starts with your business case rather than the platform we happen to prefer.

Built to convert consumer traffic

A retail store lives or dies on how quickly shoppers find a product and how few obstacles stand between them and checkout. Every build focuses on the things that move revenue:

  • Fast page loads and strong Core Web Vitals on mobile
  • Faceted search and filtering that surfaces the right products
  • Product pages that answer buyer questions and drive add-to-cart
  • A short, tested checkout with the payment methods your customers expect
  • Promotions, discounts and loyalty rules you can run yourself
  • AI search, recommendations and chatbots that help shoppers find products faster and answer their questions instantly

FAQ Common questions

Questions we get asked

Straight answers on cost, timelines, platform choice, migrations and support.

How much does it cost to build an ecommerce store?

Cost depends on catalog size, integrations and how much custom functionality you need. A straightforward Shopware storefront sits at the lower end; a Magento 2 build with ERP integration and B2B logic at the higher end. We give a fixed scope and estimate after a discovery call, so you know the number before development starts.

How long does it take to build an online store?

Most projects take approximately three to six months. A focused storefront sits at the shorter end; a replatform with data migration and ERP integration adds testing time and lands nearer six months. We run the build in sprints with a staging store visible throughout, and commit to a firm timeline once scope is agreed in discovery.

Which platform is best for an ecommerce store — Magento or Shopware?

Magento 2 (Adobe Commerce) suits larger catalogs, multi-store and multi-language shops, and advanced pricing or loyalty rules. Shopware 6 launches faster and stays flexible, which fits growing D2C and retail brands. We build on both and recommend based on your catalog, team and roadmap rather than a house preference.

Should I rebuild my store or fix the existing one?

If the codebase is unmaintainable, the platform is end-of-life, or performance problems keep coming back, a rebuild usually costs less than patching indefinitely. If the foundation is solid, fixing the existing store is the better option — we improve what needs improving instead of starting over. We always audit the store first and tell you honestly which of the two makes more sense.

Can you migrate my store from Magento 1 to Magento 2?

Yes. Magento 1 reached end of life and no longer receives security patches. We migrate products, customers, orders and your URL structure to Magento 2, keeping SEO rankings intact and rebuilding the storefront on a supported foundation.

Will a rebuild hurt my Google rankings?

Not if the migration is handled properly. We map old URLs to new ones with redirects, preserve metadata and structured data, and keep the content hierarchy intact. SEO is part of the migration plan, not an afterthought.

Can you integrate the store with our ERP?

Yes. We connect stores to ERP, PIM, payment and shipping systems — including Pantheon, SAOP, Navision, SAP, Akeneo, Pošta Slovenije, GLS and DHL — so stock, pricing, orders and shipping labels sync automatically instead of being handled manually.

Can you add AI features to an ecommerce store?

Yes. We implement AI search and product recommendations, automated product descriptions and translations, SEO content generation, and chatbots that answer buyer questions and reduce support load. These can be added to a new build or to an existing store.

Do you support the store after launch?

Yes. We offer tailor-made SLA agreements with 24/7 support, priority response times, monitoring, security patching and continuous improvement, so the store keeps performing after go-live.
