What does your ecommerce agency handle?

We define the project with you, then handle the services selected: catalog organization, design, copywriting, development, integrations, testing and launch support. You bring your product knowledge and approve the commercial information. The quote specifies the deliverables, your vendors’ involvement and the follow-up after launch.

Shopify, PrestaShop or WooCommerce: how do you choose?

We work with Shopify, PrestaShop and WooCommerce and help you choose based on your catalog, your sales rules, the tools to connect and how much autonomy you want. We compare customization options, useful extensions and recurring costs. When the needs justify it, we build specific features or a custom ecommerce website. The technical choice follows from your project and from how your team will run the store.

What budget should you plan for an ecommerce website?

The budget depends on the design, the page templates, the data to migrate and the features to build. A store with a simple catalog and a project connected to several tools require different work. The quote separates the build, options, licenses, hosting and maintenance. Payment provider fees also need to be factored in according to their terms.

How long does it take to launch the store?

The timeline is set after reviewing the catalog, the integrations and the content available. We plan the design, approval, development and testing stages, along with the work expected from your team. If you have a campaign date or a peak season, we look at what must be ready and which improvements can follow the launch.

Can you migrate our store without losing useful data?

We start by taking stock of the products, customers, orders and content to migrate. Feasibility depends on the exports available from the current solution and the capabilities of the new platform. A test migration lets us check the mappings and volumes. Some items, such as customer account passwords, may need special handling, which we specify before the switchover.

Who prepares the product pages, copy and photos?

We review your resources at kickoff. Copywriting and import preparation can be part of the project, based on the specifications and information you approve. We define the images needed for categories and product pages. Additional photography, if selected, comes with a clearly defined scope and budget.

Can you connect our inventory, CRM or ERP?

We check what data exchanges your tools support before defining the connection. The CRM manages customer relationships; the ERP centralizes things like sales management or inventory. We specify the data to transfer, which way it flows and how often it updates. Access, licenses and your vendors’ involvement are factored into the project.

Can we sell to businesses with specific pricing?

Yes, this setup can be studied based on your organization and the platform. The project can include business accounts, customer-specific prices, minimum quantities, quote requests or approval before ordering. We separate the features available out of the box from those that need an extension or development, then test the rules with your sales team.

Can we sell in several countries and languages?

We define the markets to open, the languages, the currencies and the services offered in each country. Content, payments and shipping must match this offer. Your team and its advisors approve the applicable commercial and tax terms. We then organize the website versions and their administration to make updates easier.

How do you work on conversion rate?

Conversion rate optimization means helping more visitors complete their purchase. We review the product pages, the cart and the checkout flow to spot friction: missing information, shipping costs revealed too late or a complicated form. Available data and customer feedback guide the improvements. An A/B test can be considered when traffic allows; we measure the effects on orders and cart abandonment.

Is SEO on Google included?

The work listed in the quote is built into the design: category structure, titles, links, content accessibility and redirects in the case of a redesign, among others. Growing visibility over time is part of a separate SEO engagement. We can set it up from the start so the store and its customer acquisition move forward together.

Will we be able to manage the store and evolve it?

We set up the admin and onboarding around your team’s day-to-day tasks: adding a product, changing a price or tracking an order, depending on the features selected. Access rights are defined with you. The contract specifies the access handed over, licenses, maintenance, support and data portability options, to give a clear framework for what comes next.

Building a store around your business

Ecommerce website design: a project built with you

Your store needs to show what makes your products worth a look and let people order with confidence. Before we design any pages, we get to know your brand, your catalog and the way you sell. We also talk with the people who handle orders to understand what the new website needs to simplify, for your customers and for your team alike.

The project can support a brand launch, a manufacturer selling direct or a retailer’s next stage of growth. Based on your needs, we define the pages, features and connections required. You receive a proposal that explains the choices made, the content to prepare and the approval steps. Scope and running costs are spelled out before development begins.

Our ecommerce agency works with Shopify, PrestaShop and WooCommerce, and also builds custom ecommerce websites. We advise you on the right solution for your catalog, your sales rules and your organization. You understand the customization options, the connections to your tools and the running costs before you choose.

Ecommerce web design: a shopping experience true to your brand

We create a design that showcases your products while staying true to your identity. Our team includes Awwwards-winning designers; their work covers the visual world as much as ease of use. You review the proposals on pages representative of your catalog, with your images and your content, then we refine them with you.

The product page supports the buying decision. We organize photos, specifications, variants and useful advice so visitors understand what they are ordering. Availability, shipping and return information is placed where it informs their choice. The design makes room for these explanations without making browsing a chore.

On mobile, we pay close attention to navigation and the checkout flow, from picking a size to paying. Filters and on-site search help people find the right product; forms stay easy to fill in. We also work on page and image load speed. The shopping experience has to stay smooth at every step, including when an item is out of stock or a payment is declined.

Shared decisions at every step

Your project with our ecommerce agency, step by step

1
Understand and prepare
We study your catalog, your sales rules and the tools that manage inventory, orders and customer relationships. This scoping lets us recommend Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce or a custom build based on your needs. You approve the scope, the data migration, the timeline and the split of work with your technical vendors.
2
Design the pages and flows
We organize the categories and design mockups of the key pages in Figma: product listing, product page, cart and checkout. The prototypes let us review variant selection, shipping information and the path to purchase. Your feedback refines the copy and the web design, with special attention to browsing and ordering on mobile.
3
Build and test orders
We build the store and the planned connections, then run test orders with your team. The tests cover accepted and declined payments, shipping costs, inventory updates and notifications. Cases specific to your business, such as business accounts or international sales, are checked when they are part of the project.
4
Launch and support your team
We prepare the catalog migration, redirects and go-live checks. Your team takes over products, promotions and orders according to the features selected. After launch, we check data exchanges with your tools and purchase tracking; maintenance and future improvements are defined with you.

Let’s discuss your project

Ecommerce development on Shopify, PrestaShop, WooCommerce or custom

We build and evolve your store on Shopify, PrestaShop or WooCommerce, adapting the design and features to your business. We also handle custom ecommerce development when your project calls for specific flows, sales rules or connections. Together we decide what relies on the platform, what needs an extension and what we build for your needs.

Catalog, categories and product pages

We organize your catalog structure: categories, subcategories and product pages. Variants, such as size or color, and filters are adapted to your product lines. Before the import, we check the available information and flag missing data. Your team can then enrich the catalog and add new products while keeping a consistent presentation.

Our ecommerce development expertise

Cart, payment and shipping

We integrate the payment solutions and shipping methods chosen for your store. The checkout flow clearly shows the fees, delivery times and information needed to buy. We set up the exchanges with the providers involved, then test the flow through to order confirmation, along with the cancellations and refunds planned in the project.

Let’s talk about your purchase flows

Connecting inventory, CRM and ERP

We look at the exchanges with your business management software (ERP), your customer relationship tool (CRM) or your product information database (PIM). We define where data is updated and how prices, inventory and orders flow between tools. These connections aim to reduce re-entry and errors. We also test the transfers so your team can spot issues and fix them.

Let’s review your integrations

B2B ecommerce and in-store sales

For selling to businesses, we design customer accounts, negotiated pricing and quote requests based on your sales rules. If you have physical stores, click and collect lets customers order online and pick up in store. We connect these flows to your inventory and order management, within the capabilities of your tools.

Preparing the switch and the life of your store

Ecommerce website redesign and migration

A redesign can improve how your products are presented, simplify management or let you switch platforms. We start by reviewing the current store: useful pages, product data, orders, customer accounts and connections. The migration plan specifies what will be kept and how to check it, taking into account what each solution can actually export and reimport.

During an ecommerce migration, we prepare the catalog transfer and the mapping between old and new URLs. Redirects and content that matter for your SEO on Google are checked before launch. We then test the purchase flows and data exchanges. The launch takes your campaigns and sales seasons into account, with checks planned after the switchover.

After launch, our ecommerce agency helps your team get up to speed and can provide the maintenance set out in the contract: updates, fixes and checks of the ordering features. We then look at useful improvements, such as adding a product line or improving the cart. You keep a single point of contact to evolve your store, with priorities discussed based on feedback from your customers and your team.

Preparing product discovery from the design stage

SEO for your ecommerce website on Google

Our SEO consultants work with the designers and developers from the moment the catalog is organized. Your future customers’ searches guide the categories, titles and links between pages. We also plan how filters and variants are handled to make products easy to find without multiplying useless pages.

For a redesign, we identify the pages that already contribute to your visibility on Google and plan their migration. After launch, ongoing SEO support can continue the work on categories, product pages and buying guide content. Website build and SEO follow-up services are listed separately in the quote, with a GEO component if you also want to work on your presence in AI answers.
