Ecommerce Developers is a specialist service from eplatforms, a UK software and web development company established in 2000 and based in Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex.

A small team working together at a table in a bright office

eplatforms

eplatforms has built commercial web systems for its clients since 2000: ecommerce platforms, integrations, custom software and databases. It builds systems and then runs them, which means living with the consequences of every technical decision for years afterwards.

You work directly with the engineers who design, build and support your platform. There are no account managers between you and the work.

Ecommerce Developers exists so that businesses with serious ecommerce requirements can go straight to the part of eplatforms that does this work, and see the evidence for it in one place.

How we work

  1. 01

    Understand

    How the business sells and fulfils orders, which systems are involved and who relies on them. We talk to the people who use the platform daily as well as those who commissioned it.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    We read the existing code, data and integrations before proposing anything, and put what we find in writing: what’s sound, what’s fragile, what the work involves.

  3. 03

    Build

    In small pieces you can review, on a staging copy, using the platform’s supported extension points so upgrades stay possible.

  4. 04

    Launch

    A planned release with a way back, redirects and monitoring in place, at a time that suits your trading calendar.

  5. 05

    Support

    Monitoring, updates, fixes and planned improvements for as long as the platform is useful to you.

What we don’t do

  • We don’t build template stores or install themes for businesses that don’t need engineering.
  • We don’t take commission for recommending a platform, app or payment provider.
  • We don’t recommend a migration when fixing the current platform is the better answer.
  • We don’t hand over and disappear, or keep your code and accounts in our name.
  • We don’t claim badges, awards or figures we can’t show you. The partnership we mention – eplatforms is an official Checkout.com partner – is one we hold.
