Comprehensive E-Commerce Development – Built Around Your Business

We don’t just customise platforms. We create complete e-commerce solutions that fit your goals and help your business grow:

  • Platform Customisation and Integration – We adapt your e-commerce platform to suit your business model and connect it smoothly with your existing systems, so everything works together without a hitch.
  • User Experience and Engagement – Great design isn’t just about looks; it’s about making your store easy and enjoyable to use. We focus on intuitive navigation, clear layouts, and features that encourage customers to stay longer and return more often. With most shopping now done on mobile devices, we design with a mobile-first mindset – but your site will work beautifully on any screen.
  • Scalable Infrastructure and Cloud Hosting – Using platforms like Microsoft Azure and AWS, we give you hosting that grows with your business. You get the benefits of powerful cloud infrastructure without the headache of managing servers.
  • Ongoing Support and Optimisation – We keep your online store running smoothly, securely, and in step with the latest digital trends. Our flexible support packages helps you to always have a partner ready to help you improve and adapt.

Partnering for E-Commerce Success

Whether you’re aiming to reach new markets or strengthen your online presence, we’re here to help you make it happen. We start by understanding your business in depth, then create a strategic plan for a customised e-commerce solution that sets you up for lasting success.

With Gislen Software, your move into the digital marketplace becomes more than just a project – it’s a transformation. We combine technology, design, and strategy to turn your vision into a thriving online store that drives both growth and customer loyalty.

Strategic Framework for E-commerce Development

At Gislen Software, our approach to building e-commerce solutions is rooted in collaboration and consultation. We start by listening – really listening – to understand what makes your business unique and what you want to achieve online.

If you already have an e-commerce platform, we carry out a thorough review of your current systems and workflows. This helps us spot what’s working well, where there’s room for improvement, and any technical or financial hurdles that might be holding you back. With this insight, we create a strategy tailored precisely to your goals and the realities of online retail. We know how to make customers click “add to cart,” head to checkout, and complete the purchase.

When building a new e-commerce platform – or giving an existing one a major upgrade – we work closely with you from the very start. From shaping the initial vision to launching the finished site, we’re by your side to ensure the process is smooth and the end result matches your ambitions.

Our services cover every aspect of design and development, from integrating a powerful content management system to ensuring your site is search engine optimised for visibility and performance. Experienced project managers keep everything on track, so your e-commerce project is delivered without stress.

Choosing the Right E-Commerce Platform

If you are a smaller business looking to start or grow your business online, there are plenty of great platforms you can use. Each of these platforms have their own advantage, so it’s important to match the right one to your needs:

  • ShopifyOne of the most popular platforms, easy to use and packed with features. It offers extensive customisation through themes and apps, and handles everything from payments to marketing tools.
  • WooCommerce – A flexible, open-source plugin for WordPress. Great if you’re already on WordPress or want full control, though you’ll need to manage hosting and security yourself.
  • BigCommerce – Known for scalability, SEO-friendly features, and multi-channel selling. Ideal if you’re planning to grow quickly.
  • Squarespace – Beautiful design templates with integrated e-commerce, perfect for creative brands and those who prefer simplicity.
  • Wix – A beginner-friendly website builder with e-commerce capabilities. Ideal for start-ups and small shops with modest needs.
  • Magento Open Source – (Now Adobe Commerce) Highly customisable and feature-rich. Great for businesses with specific requirements and technical know-how.
  • Etsy – Best for handmade, vintage, or niche products. Works well as a complement to your main e-commerce site or as your primary sales channel.

When deciding, think about usability, scalability, integrations, support, and cost. Consider your product range, expected traffic, and any special features you’ll need.
