E-Commerce Development
in London
Storefronts that convert and checkouts that don't break at scale.
We build e-commerce storefronts for founders in London — headless Shopify Hydrogen when you need custom UX, a hardened Shopify Plus theme when speed matters more, custom carts when the platform gets in the way. One senior engineer owns checkout, inventory sync, and the storefront, so launch day isn't held together by three unrelated apps.

How this works
One AI-native engineer.
The output of a team.
One senior engineer plus AI agents now ships e-commerce development that used to need a four-person team. Same code quality, half the cost, three-week timelines instead of three months. Built for pre-seed to Series A founders in London who need to ship before the next round closes.
The local read
Why e-commerce development is hard in London
London founders have access to deep fintech and gov-tech talent but the hiring cycle is brutal. Senior offers in the City clear £100K base plus equity that competes with Revolut and Wise. Local dev shops mostly serve enterprise — slow procurement, multi-quarter contracts, agency-of-record billing.
Different model: one senior engineer ships your build in two weeks, four-to-five-hour overlap with our working hours, billed in USD. Open Banking via TrueLayer or GoCardless for fintech. Next.js + NestJS + Postgres for SaaS. Flat-price quote in 24 hours. Code in your GitHub from commit one.
Hiring one senior engineer here is a ~$200K year-one outlay and a 60–90 day search. Our e-commerce development engagement starts at $3,000 with a first deploy in 2–3 weeks.

What you actually get
Concrete deliverables.
Live in 2–3 weeks.
No discovery phase that bills for itself. No Figma-only delivery. Every item below is something you can open, click, and ship to a user.
Storefront live — headless Hydrogen build or a hardened Shopify Plus theme, whichever fits your timeline and design ambition
Checkout wired correctly: discounts, bundles, subscriptions via Shopify's native checkout, no third-party checkout hacks that break at scale
Inventory and order sync with your fulfillment provider or 3PL — no manual CSV exports
Email/SMS flows wired (Klaviyo or Postscript) for abandoned cart, post-purchase, win-back
Performance budget held — Core Web Vitals green on the product and collection pages that actually drive conversion
