System at a glance

  1. 01 Understand

    Start from the requirements of an already operating ecommerce business.

  2. 02 Build

    Create the replacement Shopware store from the ground up.

  3. 03 Migrate

    Move the live business onto the new platform.

  4. 04 Continue

    Put the new store into real revenue-producing operation.

The situation

This was not a new shop with no customers and no operational history. The existing ecommerce business was already generating more than €100,000 per month.

It needed an entirely new Shopware store and then needed the live business moved onto it successfully. That changes the nature of the work: a decision that would be a minor inconvenience on a test project can affect real orders and real revenue here.

The work

I built the new Shopware store from scratch and handled the migration of the operating business onto it.

The detailed client implementation remains private, but the important proof point does not: this was both a ground-up ecommerce build and a production migration. The replacement had to be ready for the reality of an existing commercial operation, not just look finished in a demo.

The outcome

The business moved successfully onto the new Shopware store.

For a prospective client, the useful signal is the consequence attached to the work. A company trusted me to replace the platform underneath an ecommerce operation doing more than €100,000 per month — and put the replacement into live use.
