E-commerce

We work on the platform you already have.

68 stores and websites across 5 platforms. The platform is the client's call; the code on top of it is mine. Where the platform is the wrong one, a migration comes with the data intact.

  • MerchantProThe platform I know best. New stores, migrations onto it, and custom code written on top of what the platform gives you: themes, product attributes, catalogue search, API extensions.
  • WordPressPresentation sites and WooCommerce stores, built with code rather than a stack of plugins. Custom landing pages, product-level SEO, and merges of separate sites into one.
  • GomagRedesigns and builds written straight into the Gomag theme, with custom integrations and crawlers where suppliers offer no API.
  • WixPresentation projects where the platform was the right call for the budget and for how often the client needed to change things.
  • CS-CartPicked up both for redesigns and for migrations away from it.

Migration routes

Where migrated stores came from. Products, customers and orders moved with a repeatable script that dry-runs before it writes.

Development · Integrations · Automation

The store is the visible part.

Behind a storefront there are suppliers without APIs, an ERP, an invoicing tool, a courier and a marketplace or two. Most of my code lives there.

    E-commerce development

    Custom storefronts, modules and migrations built around real catalogues and the way people actually buy.

  2. 02

    API integrations

    Product, customer and order migrations. ERP, invoicing, courier and marketplace connections that keep stock and prices in sync.

  3. 03

    Automation

    Stock and price sync, back-office tools, chatbots and content on autopilot: whatever removes a repeated manual step, built so the client's team can run it themselves.

    Web scraping and product data

    Supplier stock and catalogue crawlers for sources that offer no usable API, with validation before anything reaches the store.

    LLM content workflows

    Product-aware pipelines that turn a store's real catalogue into relevant article drafts, starting from data rather than a keyword.

How I work

Thought through together, then built.

With most clients the work starts long before the build: the business, the range, the pricing, the way orders should flow. This is the shape it usually takes.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    → A written scope you can react to

  2. 02

    Scope and quote

    → Quote, milestones, start date

  3. 03

    Build and migrate

    → Weekly updates, staging link, dry-run report

  4. 04

    Launch and support

    → Launch checklist, access hand-over, support

  1. 01

    A call and a few honest questions: what sells, what does not, who the suppliers are, what the current store gets wrong. If a platform change is the wrong idea, I say so here.

  2. 02

    A fixed quote against that scope, split into milestones. What is included is listed; what is not is listed too, so nothing is discovered halfway.

  3. 03

    A staging link from the first week and a short written update every week. Migrations run dry first, so you see every planned change before a single record is written.

  4. 04

    A launch checklist, the hand-over of every access, and a support window after go-live. Most clients stay on for integrations and automation once the store is running.

Ways to work together

Project
A store built, migrated or redesigned end to end, on a fixed quote with milestones.
Retainer
Ongoing development, integrations and automation for a store that is already trading.
Strategy
A few sessions on the business side: range, pricing, platform choice, what to automate first.
