Example Engagement: Faster Store Before a Festival Sale
An illustrative example based on the pattern we see most often. Client details are kept confidential.
The situation: A fashion brand's Shopify store took over 5 seconds to load on phones and slowed down during its last sale.
What we did:
Removed unused apps and compressed product images
Fixed layout shifts and delayed non-essential scripts
Load tested key pages and checkout before the sale
The result: Mobile load time dropped under 2 seconds, the store stayed fast through the sale and conversion improved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ecommerce development include?
Building and improving online stores and marketplaces: storefronts, product catalogs, checkout and payments, inventory and order management, integrations with ERP, shipping and marketing tools, mobile apps, performance and security.
Should we use Shopify or build a custom store?
Shopify suits most direct-to-consumer brands. Custom or headless builds suit complex catalogs, marketplaces, B2B pricing or unique experiences that platforms can't support well.
What is headless commerce?
An architecture where the storefront is built separately, often with Next.js, and connects to a commerce backend such as Shopify, BigCommerce or commercetools through APIs, giving more design and performance control.
Can you migrate our store to another platform?
Yes, including products, customers, orders, redirects and SEO, planned so traffic and rankings are protected.
How much does ecommerce development cost?
Small fixed-price tasks start at $29. A custom Shopify store typically costs $5,000 to $30,000; a custom or headless store $30,000 to $150,000; a multi-vendor marketplace $40,000 or more.
Can you fix a slow store?
Yes. We fix images, apps, scripts, caching and Core Web Vitals, measured before and after.
Do you support stores after launch?
Yes, through monthly maintenance, prepaid hours or a managed service.
