Magento and PWA stores for brands in about 70 markets

e-com.house is a software house that concentrates on online shops. It says it has spent nearly ten years building stores for brands that sell in around 70 markets across five continents, and it describes its work as agile e-commerce development. Magento 2 and progressive web apps are its core technologies, and it builds for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer clients. The firm says it chooses the technology only after it understands the client's business, rather than starting from a preferred product.

Balancing business, design and technology

The firm describes each project as a balance between three things: the business case, the design and the technology. It says that when one of these outweighs the others, the shop suffers, so it treats that balance as a basic standard for every engagement. The firm also says it runs online shops itself, which it presents as the reason it knows what matters after launch, such as price differences between markets, returns logistics, product feeds and content in many languages.

Consulting before any build

The consulting service covers analysis before implementation, IT architecture, business processes and integrations. The design service covers product design, UX and UI work, and workshops on both. Development covers PWA and Magento 2 stores, B2B and B2C builds, integrations and composable commerce, in which a shop is assembled from separate services rather than from one fixed system. Maintenance covers keeping servers and applications administered, plus devops work and agile development once a store is live. The firm says it does not stop at implementation, and that it keeps developing a platform that works and grows.

Code and modules that belong to the client

The firm says the code, modules and documentation for a project belong to the client from the first day. It says its standard contract includes the transfer of copyright and an explicit buy-out clause, so that a client can change supplier without the shop going offline. It also builds its own modules and tools, which it reuses across projects, and it says its architecture is designed for the client's platform rather than for a generic template.

Projects across markets

The site lists a range of past work. Examples include a Magento 2 integration for a games store that sells through Steam and GOG, a link between a legacy ERP and a large marketplace, a headless PWA with a middleware layer, and a geo configurator for more than thirty countries. Another example is a premium migration to Magento 2 with a rich content management system. The firm presents these as the kinds of project it takes on for start-ups as well as multinational companies.

Growth support as a partner

Beyond the build, the firm describes a partnership role. Its site says it advises, reacts, analyses and integrates, and that a client can choose a package matched to its business. Its e-commerce strategy and growth marketing sit alongside the technical work, and the firm says that content should be monetised as well as produced. It says its team supports and adjusts the IT side of a business as that business grows.
