An online store built to sell.

Because a brochure site has pages and a store has systems. Payments have to pass 3D Secure, stock has to decrement correctly when two customers buy the last item in the same second, labels have to generate, invoices have to file, and returns have to work. Each integration is built and tested separately. A cheap store is not a smaller store, it is one where you do by hand what it should have done for you.

Four to eight weeks from design approval, depending on product count and integrations. Migrating an existing catalogue of several thousand products can add one or two weeks. You get a dated schedule at the start, not a vague estimate.

It depends on volume and on who administers it. WooCommerce suits you if you want full control and low monthly cost, but it needs maintenance. Shopify is simpler to run and steadier under heavy traffic, though you pay a subscription plus commission. Custom on Next.js makes sense at high volume or where business logic the platforms do not cover. We recommend after seeing your numbers, not before.

Yes, if the migration is done properly. We keep the URL structure where it makes sense, and where it does not we put a 301 redirect from every old address to its new equivalent. Reviews and product descriptions come across too. Traffic usually dips for a few days after a migration and then recovers. A permanent drop means the redirects were done badly.

Hosting scales with traffic, a domain is roughly sixty RON a year, and card processing is typically one to two percent per transaction. If we choose Shopify, their subscription is on top. We put every cost in writing before starting, so you know the monthly figure and not just the build price.

Packages include thirty days of priority support after launch. For high-volume periods we offer monthly maintenance with a guaranteed response time and active monitoring. A store down for one peak day costs more than a year of maintenance.
