E-commerce storefronts

Selling online without a checkout that loses people

Most e-commerce problems are not design problems. They are catalogue problems — products modelled wrongly so filtering cannot work — or checkout problems, where each additional field costs a measurable share of completions, or operational problems where the store and the system that actually ships things disagree about stock. A beautiful storefront on top of a catalogue nobody can search is a well-photographed dead end.

What the work involves

  • Catalogue and taxonomy modelled so that search, filtering and merchandising are possible at all
  • Checkout designed for completion, with every field justified
  • Payment and tax integration, including the parts that vary by jurisdiction
  • Integration with inventory, fulfilment and accounting so figures reconcile
  • Structured data for products, so listings appear correctly in search results
  • Performance on mobile, where most of the traffic and most of the abandonment lives

Why we are credible at this

The platform maintains integrations across e-commerce and payment providers, and we operate the order, invoicing and billing services behind our own subscription business — including the unglamorous part where a published price must be verifiable against the catalogue before a page is allowed to render it.

What moves the price

We quote after discovery and the number is fixed before anything starts. These are the things that move it, so you can see roughly where your project sits before you talk to us.

  • Catalogue size and complexity — variants and configurable products dominate the work
  • Whether you are building on an existing platform or something custom
  • How many operational systems must reconcile with the store
  • Tax and shipping rules, which are simple in one jurisdiction and not in several
