Stores Built to Convert, Not Just Sell.

It depends on catalog size, timeline, and budget. Custom Next.js is best for brands that need speed and unique UX. Shopify is best when you need to start selling immediately with a proven checkout. Headless is best for scaling brands that want both. We recommend during the strategy call — honest fit analysis, no upsell pressure.

Yes — we migrate products, categories, customers, orders, and reviews. We implement 301 redirects for every changed URL so your Google rankings don't drop. Post-launch we monitor Search Console for 30 days to catch any unexpected ranking changes.

We start by studying your drop-off data. Common wins: single-page checkout, guest checkout always available, Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile, trust signals near the payment button, and minimal required fields. Our checkout builds average 3–8% higher conversion than the stores we replace.

Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and BNPL providers (Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm). We recommend Stripe for most stores — best developer experience, fraud tools, and global coverage.

A Shopify custom theme with 5–10 product types takes 4–6 weeks. A custom Next.js storefront with up to 200 SKUs takes 8–12 weeks. Large catalogs, complex shipping logic, or multi-currency storefronts take longer — scoped explicitly in the strategy session.

A custom Shopify theme typically runs $8k–$20k. A custom Next.js or headless storefront with up to 200 SKUs usually falls between $25k and $60k, scaling with catalog size, integrations, and checkout complexity. We send a fixed-price quote after the strategy session — and because custom builds carry no monthly SaaS platform fee, the total cost of ownership is often lower over two to three years.

Yes. We build fast faceted search and filtering that stays sub-second even across thousands of SKUs using indexed queries and tools like Algolia or Meilisearch. To recover lost sales we add abandoned-cart email and SMS flows, exit-intent offers, one-page guest checkout, and Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile — the combination typically recovers 10–15% of otherwise-lost carts.
