Phase 4 of 4
Are we the right team?
An honest answer saves us both a call. Three questions, or read the lists.
We're a good fit if
- You've outgrown an off-the-shelf store and need a custom or headless platform
- Your store has to talk to an ERP, PIM, OMS or POS
- You're planning a replatform and can't afford to lose revenue or rankings
- You want to own your code and choose who works on it
A better fit elsewhere if
- You need a standard theme store launched in a few weeks
- You're looking for the lowest hourly rate
- You need a marketing or ads agency
- You want design only, without engineering

Questions buyers ask first
What does a project cost?
Every platform is different, so we start with paid discovery. It ends with a fixed estimate you can take elsewhere if you choose.
Who will work on our project?
Senior engineers who stay with you from discovery to launch. You meet the tech lead before you sign.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories, accounts and licences are in your name.
Where is the team based, and how do we work across time zones?
Our core team works with clients across several time zones. We agree overlap hours and a single point of contact at kickoff.
Do you support the platform after launch?
Yes. Managed services include monitoring, upgrades, security patches and a monthly improvement sprint, with response times in writing.
Do you only build on Medusa.js?
No. We recommend the platform that fits: Medusa, custom Node.js, or Shopify Plus. We specialise in Medusa because it gives many businesses enterprise flexibility without licence fees.
