Ecommerce development, hired from one person.

Magento and Adobe Commerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, a CMS, or software that fits no platform at all. Underneath the platforms sit the languages: PHP and Laravel, Python and Django, JavaScript and TypeScript with Next.js. SaaS products are designed on paper before a line of code is written, so the expensive decisions are made while they are still cheap to change.

Stock that disagrees between the warehouse and the website, orders keyed in twice, marketplaces selling what you no longer have, an email platform that only knows what a plugin tells it, a payment gateway to add or switch. Integrations are organised by the kind of system being connected: ERP, order management, PIM, warehouse and fulfilment, marketplaces, email and payments.

The job is to find out what is really finished, what only looks finished, and the shortest route to something customers can use. I once spent twelve months inside a failing two-year project, then rebuilt it myself in under four months once it was clear that patching it would not get it over the line.

Not a chatbot bolted to the home page. The work starts with a task your team does by hand every day, such as reconciling orders, rewriting product copy or chasing the same data between systems, and decides whether AI, a plain script or an existing app is the right tool. Sometimes the answer is an app you can buy today, and I’ll say so.

For a business with no senior technical person, or one whose technical lead has just left: architecture decisions, platform choices, roadmaps, hiring and vendor calls. Fractional means a few days a month, ongoing. Interim means full-time cover for a known period. I’ll tell you if what you actually need is a lead developer.
