E-commerce development that fits your business – not the other way around
Most online shop projects fail not because of bad development work, but because the wrong platform was chosen at the start – or because the shop was built for features rather than for the actual buying journey of real customers. We start every e-commerce project with a structured briefing: What do you sell? How complex is your product data? Who manages the shop day to day? What systems need to connect?
From this we recommend the platform that fits – WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento – and implement it in a way that your team can operate without continuous agency dependency. We build for handover, not for lock-in.
Shop migration
Moving from an old shop system – or an ageing version of your current one? We migrate products, customers, orders, and content, and protect your Google rankings throughout.
- Full data migration with structure review
- 301 redirects for all changed URLs
- SEO audit before and after launch
ERP & system integration
Connecting your shop to existing business systems so product data, stock, and orders stay in sync without manual double-entry.
- ERP: SAP, Sage, Dynamics, Lexware, custom
- PIM: Akeneo, Pimcore, custom
- Shipping: DHL, DPD, UPS, GLS
Performance & conversion optimisation
A slow shop loses customers before they reach the cart. We audit Core Web Vitals, identify the specific bottlenecks, and implement targeted fixes – not generic "speed improvements".
- Core Web Vitals audit (LCP, CLS, INP)
- Checkout flow analysis and UX optimisation
- Mobile conversion audit
German legal compliance
Selling in Germany requires correct implementation of Fernabsatzrecht, GDPR, and current case law. We configure every shop specifically for the German legal environment.
- AGB, Widerrufsbelehrung, Impressum integration
- GDPR-compliant cookie consent & tracking
- Tax and invoice configuration (§ 14 UStG)
Ongoing maintenance & support
An unmaintained shop accumulates security vulnerabilities and compatibility problems. We keep your platform, plugins, and server environment current – with tested update processes and daily backups.
- WooCommerce maintenance from €49/month
- Shopify support from €79/month
- Magento maintenance from €149/month
WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento – which platform fits your project?
There is no universally best shop platform – only the one that fits your specific catalogue, team, and business model. Each of the three platforms has genuine strengths and real limitations. We work with all three and recommend based on your requirements, not on which platform we prefer.

E-commerce agency for Weinheim, Rhine-Neckar, and the DACH market
We are based in Weinheim, Baden-Württemberg – in the heart of the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region between Mannheim, Heidelberg, and the Bergstraße. This gives us direct access to businesses in Weinheim, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen, Viernheim, Bensheim, Heppenheim, Lampertheim, and across the Odenwald and Bergstraße districts.
E-commerce development is remote-capable by nature – we work with clients across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. If you prefer in-person workshops and project meetings, we are available locally in the Rhine-Neckar region. If remote-first suits you, we work that way just as effectively with structured video calls, shared documentation, and regular async updates.

The most common e-commerce problems we fix
Most shop problems are not platform problems – they are configuration, performance, or integration problems.
Problem
The shop is slow on mobile – and conversion rate has dropped
Google ranks mobile page speed as a ranking factor. A shop that scores below 50 on PageSpeed Insights mobile loses both organic visibility and customers who abandon before the product page loads. Unoptimised plugin stacks and heavy third-party scripts are the most common causes – affecting all three platforms.
Solution
Platform-specific performance audit with targeted fixes
We run a full Core Web Vitals audit against CrUX field data and Lighthouse lab results, identify the specific bottlenecks for your shop and platform, and implement targeted fixes. For Magento shops, this often means a Hyvä migration. For WooCommerce, plugin stack reduction and caching configuration. For Shopify, app audit and theme code optimisation.
Problem
Product data and stock levels differ between shop and ERP
Manual synchronisation between two systems always fails eventually. Customers order products that are shown as in stock but have actually sold out in the warehouse. Price changes in the ERP take days to appear in the shop. New products require data entry in multiple places. The resulting errors damage customer trust and create operational overhead.
Solution
Defined bidirectional integration with a single source of truth
We implement a defined data flow between your shop and ERP or PIM: product data, pricing, and stock flow from ERP into the shop; orders flow from the shop into the ERP. The data flow is documented, tested, and monitored. Errors in the sync trigger alerts before they become customer-facing problems.
Problem
The checkout abandonment rate is high – especially on mobile
Industry average cart abandonment sits around 70%. On mobile, the number is higher. Common causes: too many checkout steps, forced account creation, unexpected shipping costs revealed late in the process, a payment method mix that does not match buyer expectations in the German market, and form fields that do not autocomplete correctly on mobile.
Solution
Checkout audit with German market focus and platform-specific optimisation
We audit your checkout funnel step by step – abandonment rates per step, mobile vs. desktop split, device-specific issues – and implement the highest-impact changes first. For the German market this typically includes: guest checkout as the default path, shipping costs visible before checkout, correct payment method priority (PayPal, Klarna, credit card, SEPA), and mobile-optimised address forms.

Request free platform adviceFrequently Asked Questions about online shop development
What does an online shop development project cost?
Costs depend primarily on platform and project scope. A WooCommerce shop starts at €2,500 for a focused scope. Shopify from €3,500. Magento Open Source from €8,000 – and typically makes no economic sense below €6,000 budget.
The main cost drivers across all platforms are: product catalogue complexity (simple vs. configurable products, number of variants), required integrations (ERP, PIM, CRM, shipping APIs), custom checkout logic, and the extent of design work needed. After a structured briefing, you receive a transparent fixed-price offer.
How long does an online shop project take?
A focused WooCommerce or Shopify shop takes 4 to 7 weeks from briefing to go-live. Magento projects start at 8 to 14 weeks. The main variables that extend timelines are: ERP integration (requires data mapping and testing on both sides), large product catalogue migration (data cleaning and import), and custom extension development.
The fastest phase is usually development. The slowest is getting complete, correctly structured product data delivered and validated. Projects that arrive with clean product data and a defined ERP data flow consistently launch on time.
Do you only work with clients in Weinheim and Rhine-Neckar?
No. We are based in Weinheim and work locally with businesses in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region – Mannheim, Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen, Bensheim, Heppenheim, and surrounding areas. But e-commerce development is fully remote-capable, and we work with clients across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
If you prefer in-person workshops or kick-off meetings, we are available locally. If remote-first works better for your team, we have structured workflows for fully remote projects with video calls, shared project documentation, and regular async updates. The quality of the output does not depend on location.
Do you handle German legal compliance (AGB, Widerrufsrecht, DSGVO)?
We configure every shop specifically for the German legal environment: correct integration points for AGB, Widerrufsbelehrung, and Impressum; GDPR-compliant cookie consent management; no third-party tracking scripts loaded without explicit consent; and correct tax and invoice configuration (§ 14 UStG).
We are not lawyers and do not write your AGB or Widerrufsbelehrung – these need to come from a qualified legal source (e.g. IT-Recht Kanzlei, Händlerbund, or your own lawyer). We integrate them correctly into the shop and ensure the technical implementation matches the legal requirements. We flag potential compliance issues we notice during development.
Can you migrate our existing shop to a new platform?
Yes. We handle shop migrations between all major platforms – from Shopware, Magento 1, OXID, xt:Commerce, or any other system to WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento 2. Products, categories, customer data, and order history are migrated where technically possible. All old URLs are covered by 301 redirects to protect Google rankings.
Before committing to a migration, we assess whether changing platforms is actually the right move or whether the problems you are experiencing can be solved on your current platform. We tell you this honestly in the initial consultation.
Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance after launch?
Yes. We offer maintenance packages for all three platforms: WooCommerce from €49/month, Shopify support from €79/month, and Magento from €149/month. Maintenance includes regular platform and plugin/extension updates, security patch management, daily backups with tested restore processes, and uptime monitoring.
We also offer on-demand development hours for ongoing editorial support, feature additions, and integration work after launch – without requiring a long-term retainer commitment if that does not suit you.
