Our traffic spikes hard during promotions. How do you know it will hold?

The platform was rebuilt specifically because the previous one collapsed under peak load, and it now handles roughly ten times the concurrent users. We load-test against your actual expected peak before launch rather than assuming, and we design the architecture so the checkout path degrades last if anything does.

Who handles PCI compliance — us or you?

We integrate payment through Stripe so card data never touches your servers, which keeps you in the lightest PCI scope rather than making you responsible for storing cardholder data. You still complete a self-assessment questionnaire, but the technical burden sits with the payment provider by design.

We rank well today. Will replatforming destroy our search rankings?

This is the single biggest risk in an ecommerce rebuild and it is entirely avoidable with planning. We map every existing URL to its new destination with permanent redirects before launch, preserve structured data and metadata, and monitor indexing closely for the first weeks so anything that slips is caught quickly.

How long does a rebuild like this take, and can we stay live during it?

A custom ecommerce build of this scope typically runs four to six months depending on catalogue complexity and how many systems it integrates with. Your existing store stays live throughout — we cut over in a planned window once the new platform has been tested with real catalogue and payment data.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most retailers we would genuinely recommend Shopify — it is the right answer when your requirements fit its model. Custom made sense here because the client needed deep inventory synchronisation and checkout behaviour that platform constraints made expensive or impossible, and at their traffic volume the per-transaction platform fees exceeded the build cost over a reasonable horizon.
