We've built 40+ e-commerce stores over the past 8 years. Some small (50 products). Some huge (10,000+ products). Every single one taught us something about what makes people buy online. Here's the truth: most e-commerce sites are slow, confusing, and leak sales. Ours aren't.
Our clients see an average 27% increase in conversion rate after switching to our custom-built stores. One client went from $12k/month to $47k/month in six months — not because of marketing, but because their new site actually worked.

We build on three platforms — each with different tradeoffs
Best for: Unique requirements, complex product logic, B2B, multi-vendor marketplaces.
You get 100% ownership. No monthly fees except hosting. Unlimited customization. Built from scratch with Laravel + MySQL/Vue.js. Takes 3-5 months. Costs $8k-25k. But you'll never outgrow it.
Best for: Fast setup, non-technical owners, dropshipping, standard product catalogs.
We build custom Shopify themes and apps. You pay Shopify monthly ($29-299). Takes 4-8 weeks. Costs $3k-10k plus monthly fees. Perfect for most small to medium stores.
Best for: WordPress users, content-heavy stores, tight budgets.
We build custom WooCommerce stores with optimized performance. You own everything. Hosting costs $20-100/month. Takes 3-6 weeks. Costs $3k-8k. Good for stores under 1,000 products.
Not sure which one? We've helped dozens of clients choose. Here's our honest advice: If you have under 500 products and don't need complex custom features, Shopify or WooCommerce is fine. If you have custom pricing rules, subscriptions, multi-vendor, or complex inventory — go custom Laravel. We'll tell you which makes sense for your budget. No upsells.

One of our favorite stories: A client came to us with a Shopify store doing $47k/month. But their platform couldn't handle their custom pricing rules (different prices for different customer groups). We migrated them to a custom Laravel store. Six months later? They hit $283k in a single month. Not because of more traffic — because the new store could finally do what their business needed.

WooCommerce has the lowest monthly costs (just hosting ~$20-50/month). But you need to manage updates and security yourself. Shopify is $29-299/month but handles everything. Custom Laravel has highest upfront cost but lowest marginal cost for new features. We'll run the numbers for your specific case.
WooCommerce/Shopify: 4-8 weeks. Custom Laravel: 3-5 months. Complex B2B or multi-vendor: 5-7 months. We give firm deadlines and hit them.
