Can the store handle a sudden spike in traffic, like a big sale day?

That is exactly the kind of scalability question worth asking before launch, not after your site falls over during a Black Friday campaign. We load-test against realistic peak scenarios, use caching and a CDN so most traffic never touches your origin server, and choose hosting that can scale horizontally when it needs to. If your growth plans include a specific big moment — a product drop, a seasonal spike — tell us the numbers you are expecting and we will build and test against them specifically, rather than a generic "should be fine."

Should we sell on Shopify or WooCommerce?

It comes down to how unusual your operation is and how much control you want. Shopify wins on simplicity — hosting, security, and PCI compliance are handled for you — at the cost of a transaction fee on every sale and less flexibility to do something genuinely custom. WooCommerce wins when you need custom logic (unusual shipping rules, a wholesale tier, a subscription model that does not fit a standard app) or your volume makes those Shopify fees add up to real money. We look at your actual product catalogue and order volume before recommending either, rather than defaulting to whichever we prefer building.

Why do so many customers abandon their cart at checkout?

Nearly always the same handful of reasons, in roughly this order of damage: forced account creation before they can even see the total, a shipping cost that only appears on the final step, and a long form that is painful to fill on a phone. Each one is fixable — guest checkout, upfront shipping estimates, and a form that autofills what it can — and checkout optimisation usually returns more revenue per hour of work than almost anything else we could spend that budget on.

Can the store connect to our existing stock or accounting system?

Yes — that is one of the more common reasons people call us in the first place. Where the system has a documented API (most modern accounting and inventory platforms do), we integrate directly. Where it does not, we build the middleware ourselves rather than telling you it cannot be done. The goal is always one accurate source of truth, so your storefront, your warehouse, and your finance team stop disagreeing about what is actually in stock.
