Custom e-commerce development services

We build online stores that are fast to load, simple to manage and designed to convert.

Skylooper develops custom e-commerce sites on WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce and fully custom platforms.

We pick the platform that fits your catalogue, your margins and how your team actually works — not the one we happen to prefer.

Everything is built to be managed by your team: adding products, running promotions and updating content shouldn’t need a developer.

Our e-commerce development process

Discovery and platform selection

We start with your catalogue, your customers and your margins, then recommend a platform and explain the trade-offs. Shopify gets you selling fastest. WooCommerce gives you the most control with no platform fees. Magento handles complexity nothing else does.

Design and conversion planning

Product, category and checkout pages designed around how people actually shop. Most stores lose more sales to a confusing checkout than to anything on the product page, so that’s where we focus first.

Development and integration

Custom build on your chosen platform, connected to the payment gateways, shipping providers, tax rules and any ERP or inventory systems you already run.

Testing, launch and support

Full QA across devices, browsers and live payment flows before anything goes live, then a managed launch with redirects, analytics and conversion tracking configured properly.

E-commerce platforms we build on

WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress, or anyone who wants full ownership of their store with no monthly platform fees. It’s strong when your store sits alongside content marketing. We build custom themes and extensions rather than stacking plugins that slow the site down.

Shopify is the fastest route to selling, with minimal infrastructure to worry about. We build custom themes and apps so your store doesn’t look like every other Shopify site.

Magento and Adobe Commerce handle large catalogues, complex pricing rules, multiple storefronts and B2B requirements. Heavier to run, but nothing else manages that complexity as well.

BigCommerce sits between the two — enterprise features without enterprise infrastructure, with strong multi-channel selling built in. For requirements no off-the-shelf platform covers, we build from scratch on X-Cart, Laravel or as a completely custom solution.

Migrating from another platform? This is where most stores lose traffic, usually because URLs change and nobody maps the redirects. We move products, categories, customers, order history and content, map every existing URL to its new destination, set up 301 redirects, and carry across page titles, meta descriptions and structured data so the rankings you’ve already earned come with you.

Every project is priced individually — cost depends mainly on catalogue size, custom functionality, integrations and the number of payment and shipping methods you need.

Frequently asked questions

01 Which e-commerce platform is right for my business?

It depends on catalogue size, how much you need to customise, and what you can absorb in ongoing costs. Shopify is fastest to launch and lowest maintenance. WooCommerce gives you the most control with no platform fees. Magento handles complexity — large catalogues, tiered pricing, multiple storefronts — better than anything else. We’ll recommend one after understanding your catalogue and how your team operates, and we’ll tell you if a platform you’re already committed to is the wrong fit.

02 Will my website work on mobile and tablets?

Absolutely. Every website and online store we build is mobile-first and fully responsive to deliver a seamless user experience on all devices.

03 How do you keep my e-commerce site secure?

We use industry best practices: secure payment gateways, regular updates, SSL certificates, and optional maintenance plans to keep your store protected.

04 Can you migrate my existing store to another platform?

Yes, and it’s a large part of what we do. We handle full migrations between WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce and custom platforms — products, categories, customers, order history and content. We map every URL, set up redirects and carry across your metadata, which is what protects the rankings you already have.

05 How long does it take to launch a new website or online store?

Most projects take between 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity and content. We’ll share a clear timeline at the start and keep you updated at every stage.
