Development timelines vary by complexity: Basic E-Commerce Store (2-3 months), Custom E-Commerce Platform (4-6 months), Marketplace or Omnichannel Platform (6-12 months). Our agile methodology delivers working software in bi-weekly sprints, so you see progress continuously. Timeline depends on feature requirements, design complexity, third-party integrations, and custom functionality. We provide detailed timelines during discovery phase.

Platform selection depends on your specific needs. We recommend Shopify for fast launches, ease of use, and moderate customization needs. Magento/Adobe Commerce for large catalogs, complex B2B requirements, and extensive customization. WooCommerce for WordPress integration and content-commerce hybrid approaches. Custom development for unique business models, proprietary workflows, or requirements that exceed platform capabilities. We analyze your requirements and recommend the optimal approach balancing functionality, budget, and time-to-market.

Mobile optimization is fundamental to our development process. We implement responsive design ensuring perfect display across all devices, progressive web app technology for app-like mobile experiences, image optimization and lazy loading for fast page loads, mobile-first navigation and thumb-friendly interfaces, one-tap checkout with mobile wallet integration, and performance optimization achieving sub-2-second load times. We conduct extensive mobile testing across devices and network conditions before launch.

Yes, integration is a core competency. We've integrated e-commerce platforms with ERPs (NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo), inventory management systems, accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero), CRM platforms, shipping carriers, and marketing automation tools. We implement robust API integrations with error handling, data validation, and real-time synchronization. Integration approach depends on systems involved—we conduct thorough analysis and provide integration recommendations during discovery.

We implement payment gateway integration following PCI-DSS best practices: using tokenization to minimize PCI scope by never storing card data, implementing PCI-compliant hosting infrastructure, integrating with PCI-certified payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.Net), using SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission, implementing 3D Secure for fraud prevention, and following secure coding practices. Most implementations use Level 1 PCI-compliant payment providers, significantly reducing compliance burden while maintaining security.

We implement comprehensive security including SSL/TLS certificates for encrypted transmission, secure payment processing through PCI-compliant gateways, protection against common vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, CSRF), regular security audits and penetration testing, GDPR and data privacy compliance, Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection, fraud detection and prevention systems, secure customer authentication with encryption, regular security patches and updates, and comprehensive backup and disaster recovery. Security is built into development from day one, not added afterward.

Yes, comprehensive post-launch support is included. We provide 24/7 technical monitoring, regular security updates and patches, performance optimization, bug fixes and troubleshooting, feature enhancements and improvements, platform updates and version upgrades, and conversion rate optimization. Support models include dedicated teams, incident-based support, or managed services. For mission-critical e-commerce platforms, premium support includes guaranteed response times, dedicated account management, and proactive monitoring.

SEO optimization is built into our development process: SEO-friendly URL structures, optimized meta tags and descriptions, structured data markup for rich snippets, fast page load speeds for ranking factors, mobile-responsive design for mobile-first indexing, optimized product images with alt text, XML sitemap generation, canonical URL management, internal linking optimization, and schema markup for products. We also provide SEO guidance for content optimization and integrate with SEO tools for ongoing optimization.

Absolutely. We implement comprehensive international commerce capabilities including multi-currency pricing and checkout, automatic currency conversion based on location, multi-language content management, geo-location detection and redirection, international payment method support, country-specific shipping and tax calculation, localized checkout experiences, and compliance with international e-commerce regulations. We help you expand globally while maintaining localized experiences for each market.

We implement comprehensive analytics including Google Analytics 4 integration for traffic and behavior, conversion tracking and funnel analysis, revenue and sales reporting dashboards, product performance metrics, customer acquisition cost tracking, cart abandonment analysis, customer lifetime value tracking, A/B testing for optimization, real-time inventory and order reporting, and custom business intelligence dashboards. Analytics implementation provides the insights needed to optimize marketing spend, product mix, and conversion rates for continuous improvement.
