Stores engineered to sell, load fast and rank
E-commerce Website Development
An online store is three systems pretending to be one: a catalogue, a checkout and a search-visible content layer. Most builds get the first two right and treat the third as an afterthought. I build stores where product architecture, performance and technical SEO are decided together, on Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom Laravel stack.
What's Included
Comprehensive solutions tailored to your specific needs
Platform selection
An evidence-based recommendation between Shopify, WooCommerce and custom Laravel for your catalogue and commercial rules.
Catalogue and URL architecture
Variants, collections, facets and canonical paths designed before build.
Conversion-focused templates
Fast, accessible category and product pages with clear commercial hierarchy.
Payments and integrations
Gateways, ERP/stock sync, shipping rules and webhooks wired reliably.
SEO-ready markup
Product, Offer, Breadcrumb and Organization schema generated from real data.
Analytics you can trust
Server-side friendly tracking with deduplicated purchase events.
Problems I Solve
Symptoms this engagement is built to fix
Product and collection URLs that duplicate the same item across several crawlable paths.
Faceted filters generating unlimited indexable combinations and burning crawl budget.
Checkouts that lose conversions to slow third-party scripts and layout shift.
Product schema that contradicts the price and availability shown on the page.
Replatform projects that drop rankings because URLs were never mapped.
Catalogues that become unmanageable past a few thousand SKUs.
Choosing the right platform, honestly
Shopify is the fastest path to a reliable store when your catalogue fits its data model and you can live with its URL conventions. WooCommerce wins when you already run WordPress content and need deep customisation of pricing, bundles or B2B rules. A custom Laravel build makes sense when your commercial logic — quoting, contracts, ERP-driven stock, multi-tenant pricing — is the product itself and no plugin ecosystem models it cleanly. I will tell you which of the three fits before we scope anything, including when the honest answer is that your current platform is fine and only needs work.
Catalogue architecture decides your SEO ceiling
Before any template is built, the catalogue structure is designed: which attributes become variants and which become separate products, which filter combinations deserve real indexable landing pages, how collections nest, and what the canonical path of every product is. This one decision determines whether you can rank for category and attribute-level queries later, or whether you will spend years fighting duplication. It also determines how internal links flow — from collections to products, from products to related items, and from content pages into commercial pages.
Performance where it converts
Store speed matters most on the two templates that carry revenue: category listings and product detail pages. I build them with server-rendered content, correctly sized and lazily loaded imagery, deferred third-party scripts, and reserved space for anything that loads late. Apps and pixels are audited for what they cost, and tracking is consolidated so analytics does not become the heaviest thing on the page. Targets are set against real-user field data, not a lab score taken once on a fast connection.
Migrations without losing rankings
Replatforming is where most e-commerce traffic disappears. Every existing URL — products, collections, blog posts, filtered views that earned links — is inventoried and mapped to its replacement before launch. Redirects are one-hop, structured data and internal links are updated to the new canonical paths, and the launch is followed by a crawl-and-monitor period so anything unmapped is caught in days rather than quarters.

Illustrative Engagement
A representative scenario
The problem
A mid-size retailer's replatform proposal kept the old filter URLs, which had produced tens of thousands of indexable combinations on the previous store.
The approach
Facet policy was decided first: a small set of commercially valuable filter views became real landing pages, the rest were made non-indexable and non-crawlable, and internal links pointed only at canonical paths.
The outcome
The new store launched with a crawlable URL set close to the real product count, and category pages stopped competing with parameterised duplicates.
Composite scenario based on typical engagements. Replace with a real, attributed case study once published.
