What you get

How Ecommerce website development in Vancouver actually works

Concrete deliverables — no vague SaaS jargon. Each engagement is sized to your business and reviewed monthly.

Catalog structure

Attributes, variations, and URL strategy that stay maintainable as the catalog grows.

Payments & tax

Stripe, PayPal, Moneris-style flows scoped with test transactions and refund paths.

Checkout UX

Guest checkout, address validation, and error states that do not silently lose carts.

Performance

Caching strategy, image pipelines, and server fit for traffic spikes — especially on WooCommerce.

PCI hygiene

No card data on your server, TLS everywhere, and admin access locked down.

Analytics

Ecommerce events, funnels, and server-side tagging options when you need cleaner data.

From experience

Stores we have actually worked on

Our team has supported Magento and other storefronts for years — checkout, tax, catalog integrations, and admin recoveries. We do not publish ticket counts from that era.

The work is rarely “install a theme.” It is a Magento admin that fatal-errors on compiled files, catalog pages that stall on custom pricing queries, checkout tax that must differ by location (Avalara and similar), and product names overwritten by a sync from another system. Alongside Magento we have worked on WooCommerce and Shopify storefronts, and on payment rails including PayPal and Stripe.

  • Checkout and payments

    Carts, gateways, and the mail that proves an order happened.

  • Tax and location rules

    Prove them with real addresses, not a single happy-path order.

  • Catalog and integrations

    A sync that silently overwrites names is still an incident.

  • Admin recoveries

    A dead Magento backend is an emergency repair, not a redesign.

From experience

Situations our team has handled

Anonymized examples from recent support work (2025–2026). Incomplete outcomes stay incomplete — we do not invent a clean ending.

2026

Magento admin showed a fatal error

What they saw
Administrators hit a fatal error as soon as they opened the backend.
What we found
Generated metadata and compiled application files were in a bad state. The ticket never named a single initiating change.
What we did
We rebuilt the generated files and confirmed the backend loaded again.
What stayed open
The original trigger was not recorded.

2026

Catalog pages slowed by disk pressure and custom pricing queries

What they saw
Product and category pages were loading slowly.
What we found
The discussion identified disk pressure and expensive custom pricing queries.
What we did
Those queries and the disk constraint were addressed.
What stayed open
Independent before-and-after measurements were not retained in the notes.

2026

Checkout tax had to differ by location

What they saw
Checkout needed location-dependent tax calculation configured and verified.
What we found
The tax integration was connected but had not been proven against real location cases.
What we did
Different locations were tested until they produced the expected differing tax rates.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you support Magento?
Yes — we also offer Magento hosting tuned for checkout. Development scope depends on your edition and customizations.
Can you speed up an existing WooCommerce store?
Yes — profiling, plugin hygiene, caching, and image pipelines are the usual first wins.
Who owns PCI compliance?
You remain responsible for your merchant agreement; we implement technical practices that keep card data off your servers and reduce scope.
Do you work on Magento, or only WordPress stores?
Both. Our team has recovered Magento admin fatals, tuned catalog queries, and proven location-based tax. WooCommerce and Shopify storefronts, plus PayPal, Stripe, Avalara, Salesforce, and HubSpot, are in the same experience — without published ticket counts from that era.
