    What's our process

    Understanding Your Requirement

Our founders & partners have experience in operating large businesses and we believe that engineering an eCommerce solution is not only about technology but its also about understanding your business model, industry sector, the target customers, and growth objectives objectives.

    Discovery and Planning

    This step is crucial since you may have your staff interface with your website back-end to provide customer support, tweak inventory & shipping logistics and more. You can't automate everything , and understanding your you requirement is crucial to make the correct recommendations for your BigCommerce build & most importantly knowing how much time we need to spend in creating the correct architecture for an eCommerce solution that can scale.

    Architecture and Blueprint

    The final blueprint/proposal will outline in detail how our engineers will approach the software development, blending functionality, creativity and functional features. The goal is to design a customer experience that satisfies your requirement, helps you scale, and fits your budget. On large projects multiple build phases are common to deliver the MVP, then gather usage data to properly implement additional features.

    Development

    Once the design phase is approved our BigCommerce developers get to work carefully coding and implementing any custom elements. All integration & customization of third party plugins are included in this stage. Project management and communication protocols are set up to make this process as smooth as possible. If there is scope change request, no problem, our eCommerce engineers will outline the impact to the project and we pivot accordingly.

    Quality Assurance

    Quality assurance is a practice that separates us from our competition. Depending on the project QA test cases are developed before implementation even starts. We have trained QA engineers that identify bugs in the customer experience before your customers do. From working closely with marketing teams to carefully A/B test product pages to testing data flows on complex ERP integration our engineers are experienced to assure the most successful outcome.

    Launch

    Once developed, our team precisely tests your eCommerce site for bugs and any issues with performance, usability, appearance, accessibility and customer-friendliness. We even provide 24 hour support during deployment for large projects that require a narrow specific time frame to go offline and update to minimize revenue, conversion, and traffic loss. Our team will always have a specific execution plan for your live launch to assure all compliance is met and live functionality provides a great experience to your customers.

      BigCommerce is a website builder while WooCommerce is a free, open-source plugin for WordPress. Ideally, BigCommerce is great for building purely eCommerce websites with robust and scalable functionality. On the other hand, WooCommerce is an easier choice for many businesses that want to offer merchandise in addition to other online experiences when the initial website is properly built out on WordPress.

      Important aspects to consider about going with WooCommerce:

      • Heavy dependence on developer/designer
      • Total cost of ownership is unclear due to app and developer costs
      • Hard to scale without slowing down live store
      • Most stores require a large number of both paid and free apps
      • Limited admin tools to manage store
      • No complex catalog support out of the box
