Seattle Ecommerce Developer

Connect, write a plan, then stay in the work

You are not hiring a vendor who vanishes after a kickoff. You get us as an embedded partner who learns the business, then ships against the plan.

Connect

Thirty minutes. We learn how the business actually runs: who buys, what is broken, what a good month looks like after launch.

Write a plan

What to build, what to skip, an honest range, and whether we are the right fit. You leave with a path, not a pitch deck.

Embed

You work with the people who ship it. We stay in the work after launch so the site does not rot the week after deploy.

Ecommerce Development for Growing Brands

Whether you sell DTC, B2B, or hybrid, we build commerce experiences that match your catalog, pricing rules, and fulfillment reality.

Custom Storefronts

Product storytelling, merchandising flexibility, and UX that converts. Beyond what a stock theme can express.

Checkout & Payments

Friction-light checkout, tax/shipping logic, and payment providers wired cleanly with proper failure handling.

Inventory & Fulfillment Sync

Connect storefronts to warehouses, ERPs, or 3PLs so stock and orders stay accurate without spreadsheet babysitting.

CRM & Marketing Integration

Push orders and customers into HubSpot or your stack for lifecycle marketing that knows real purchase history.

B2B Commerce Features

Account pricing, quote-to-order, net terms, and buyer portals for wholesale or hybrid models.

Local Seattle Partnership

Pacific-hours collaboration for launches, flash sales, and peak-season fixes when downtime actually hurts.

Ecommerce when themes and app stacks fight your business

If a stock Shopify theme and a pile of apps still match how you sell, keep them. I am not here to upsell custom for its own sake. That same filter shows up in making technology decisions for small business. Hire a Seattle ecommerce developer when pricing rules, B2B accounts, multi-warehouse inventory, or brand experience will not fit another generic theme.

I build and modernize online stores for Puget Sound brands: storefronts, checkout, fulfillment sync, and the CRM/ops glue so a sale does not become three manual jobs. Solo senior operator, Pacific hours, fixed-price after a real commerce audit.

Who this is for

DTC and hybrid brands outgrowing theme limits and app conflicts.

B2B sellers who need account pricing, quote-to-order, net terms, or buyer portals, not just a cart.

Teams migrating platforms who cannot afford lost rankings, broken redirects, or a dark year of order history. Treat cutover as a migration project: data migration strategies for switching systems.

Operators who need HubSpot, ERP, or warehouse data in the same customer journey as the storefront.

Who this is not for

A first store with twenty SKUs and no ops complexity. Use Shopify (or similar), a good theme, and a designer. Come back when the tools are the bottleneck.

Pure catalog brochure sites with no real commerce. That is website development, not ecommerce engineering.

"Make us the next Amazon." Scope the store that sells your actual products this year. Fantasy scale architecture is a great way to burn budget.

What I ship

Custom storefronts. Merchandising and product storytelling that a stock theme cannot express, without a performance-killing app soup.

Checkout and payments. Tax, shipping, deposits, subscriptions, failure handling. Stripe and major processors wired cleanly.

Inventory and fulfillment. Warehouse, ERP, or 3PL sync so stock is not a spreadsheet ritual.

CRM and marketing. Orders and customers into HubSpot or your stack with real purchase history. See HubSpot integration.

B2B features. Account pricing, buyer roles, quote flows when wholesale is how you make money.

Cost, stack, and process

Commerce builds vary hard. A focused storefront modernization can sit in the lower five figures. Integrated commerce with multi-system ops often lands in the same $30K–$100K range as other custom software; larger multi-warehouse platforms can push higher. For the broader cost conversation, see understanding custom software costs. I quote fixed-price after a commerce audit: catalog, checkout, ops, analytics.

Stack is pragmatic: platform extension when Shopify or similar can carry the load; headless or custom when it cannot. I recommend the least complex option that meets the rules. Related: API development. Peak-season readiness is part of launch, not an afterthought.

Next step

Schedule a free consultation or request a quote. Bring your catalog quirks and peak-season constraints. I will say build, extend, or stay on the theme, with a straight number either way.

FAQs

When do I need a custom Seattle ecommerce developer vs Shopify?

If a stock theme and apps match how you sell, stay on Shopify or similar. Hire custom when pricing rules, B2B accounts, multi-warehouse inventory, or brand experience will not fit another generic theme without constant fights.

How much does custom ecommerce development cost?

Storefront and checkout work for SMBs often lands between $30,000 and $100,000 depending on integrations and custom flows. Full platform replacements can sit higher. I quote after mapping your catalog, checkout rules, and systems of record.

How long does an ecommerce project take?

Focused customizations or a solid storefront slice often run 6–12 weeks. Complex B2B, multi-warehouse, or ERP-deep projects push 12–16 weeks. We phase so catalog and checkout can be tested early.

Can you integrate inventory, CRM, and fulfillment?

Yes. Integration is usually the point: inventory, HubSpot or another CRM, shipping, and accounting. If you only need a theme tweak, you do not need this service.
