Ecommerce experience

An online store is not a corporate website with a checkout button

Most online stores we see in consultancy share the same problem: they were built like a corporate site with a cart plugin bolted on top. But ecommerce is a sales operating system — payment gateway, stock management, taxation, shipping, returns, marketing automation, cart recovery, multi-currency support, accounting integration. Skipping any of these layers gets paid in lost orders every month.

At Gecko Studio we have been launching online stores for tourism, hospitality, retail, gourmet food and B2B clients since 2017. We know which architecture survives a Black Friday spike, which templates convert at 3% and which at 0.4%, which ERP integration saves 20 hours a week and which one creates chaos.

Every proposal starts by understanding your business — not by showing you templates. We recommend the platform that fits your volume, your team and your strategy, not the one that pays us the highest commission. And if the store you need is not one we know how to build well, we will tell you before charging a single euro.

-- PLATFORMS

Which technology we use to build your store

We work with the most mature platforms on the market. The choice depends on your volume, your in-house team and your business model — not on our preferences.

WooCommerce

Recommended for medium catalogues

The most flexible option if you already run WordPress. Full SEO control, no per-sale commission and thousands of plugins. Ideal for medium catalogues (50-2,000 products) and businesses that need real customisation.

Shopify

Recommended for dropshipping & D2C

Cloud platform ready to start selling in under 4 weeks. Low maintenance, native integrations with marketplaces and excellent for international expansion. Monthly fee + per-sale commission depending on the plan.

PrestaShop

Recommended for physical retail

Open source with modules built for stores with many product variants (size, colour, material). A solid choice for brick-and-mortar retail opening an online channel that needs advanced stock management.

Custom-built stores

Recommended for B2B projects

When no off-the-shelf platform fits: marketplaces, complex product configurators, B2B integrations with supplier catalogues. Headless development with Next.js or Astro plus a commerce engine.

-- SECTORS

Stores we have launched by sector

Each sector has different challenges. A fashion ecommerce is not designed the same way as a tourism activity store or a B2B wholesaler. These are the sectors where we have live cases and consolidated experience.

Tourism and experiences

Activity stores, holiday rentals, yacht charter, boutique hotels. Booking engine integration, availability calendars, multi-currency payment gateways and ES/EN/DE translation.

Hospitality and catering

Online ordering, take away, table reservation with deposit, seasonal menu management and event handling. POS integration (Glop, Lightspeed) so stock updates by itself.

Fashion and accessories

Catalogues with variants (size, colour), seasonal collection management, integrated lookbooks, automatic upsell and cart recovery. Heavy focus on load speed and mobile experience.

Food and local produce

Local producers, wineries, gourmet and delicatessen. Refrigerated shipping calculation by zone, available delivery dates, bundle products and recurring subscriptions.

Professional services

Bookable services with calendar and partial payments: clinics, training, consulting, on-site or remote sessions. Integration with Calendly or in-house systems.

B2B and wholesale

Private catalogues with login, customer-specific pricing, volume discounts, fast SKU ordering and invoice export. ERP connection (Odoo, Sage, SAP Business One).

-- METHODOLOGY

How we launch your online store (no surprises)

Free initial consultation

We analyse your business model, your projected volume, your in-house team and your current stack (ERP, POS, marketplaces). You leave with a clear platform recommendation and a closed quote.

Conversion-focused UX/UI design

Wireframes and a navigable prototype before we touch any code. We work on information architecture, checkout flows, product pages and filters so visitors find and buy fast.

Development with technical SEO from day 1

Hreflang, Product/Offer schema, dynamic sitemap, clean URLs, optimised Core Web Vitals. The store goes live ranking-ready, not as a later patch.

Integration with your operations

We connect the store with your ERP, payment gateway, shipping carrier and email platform. If you sell on Amazon, eBay or Glovo, we sync stock so you never sell what you do not have.

Launch + monthly SEO plan

Migration without losing traffic, redirects mapped in detail, validated schema and GSC enrolment. From here on, monthly SEO plan: content, link building and ongoing optimisation.

What sets us apart from other ecommerce agencies

Honest platform recommendation

We have no exclusive partnership with anyone. If your case fits Shopify, we recommend Shopify. If it fits Woo, we recommend Woo. This should be obvious, but most agencies sell whatever pays them more.

Technical SEO from the code itself

We do not design first and then "add SEO". Architecture, URLs, schema and performance are designed from the wireframe. It makes a huge difference in the first 12 months.

Real integrations, not pretty ones

If your ERP is Odoo, Holded, Sage or A3, we have integrated. If your gateway is Redsys, Stripe, PayPal or Bizum, we have set it up. We do not experiment on you.

Code and data ownership

We hand over full access to the code, the server and the data. If you decide to switch agency tomorrow, you take everything. We do not use proprietary lock-in systems.

Real post-launch support

We do not disappear on day 31. Optional monthly maintenance plan, Slack/email support with SLA and proactive uptime and 500-error monitoring. If something breaks, we know before you do.

Verifiable real cases

We show you stores in production, not mockups. You can talk to our clients before signing if you want. 8 years, +40 stores and not a single client lost due to bad delivery.

Frequently asked questions about online stores

What companies considering launching or migrating their ecommerce ask us most.

How much does a professional online store cost?

A working basic ecommerce on WooCommerce or Shopify starts at around €3,500-5,000. A store with a wide catalogue (500+ products), complex variants and ERP connection can range €8,000-18,000. Custom-built or B2B stores with specific developments: closed quote after consultancy. In every case, no per-sale commission and full code ownership.

Which platform should I choose between WooCommerce, Shopify and PrestaShop?

It depends on your model. WooCommerce is the most flexible option if you value SEO and full control. Shopify is the fastest to launch and the lowest maintenance, but you pay per-sale commission. PrestaShop fits retail with many variants. In the first meeting we analyse your specific case and give you an honest recommendation — we do not sell what you do not need.

How long does it take to have an online store ready?

For a Shopify or WooCommerce store with a customised professional template: 4-6 weeks. For tailored UX/UI design and complex catalogue: 8-12 weeks. B2B stores with ERP integrations or custom development: 12-16 weeks. We give you a detailed calendar in the initial proposal, with measurable weekly milestones.

Do you handle migrations without losing Google rankings?

Yes — it is one of the things we do best. We audit your current site with Ahrefs and Search Console, map every old URL to the new one with server-side 301 redirects, and monitor positions for 8 weeks after launch. A well-executed migration should not cause a traffic drop greater than 5% (and recovers in 4-8 weeks).

Will my store rank well on Google from launch?

Technical SEO comes by default: clean structure, Product/Offer schema markup, hreflang if you sell in several languages, dynamic sitemap, optimised Core Web Vitals and mobile speed. What is not included: content SEO. If you want to rank for competitive keywords, you need a monthly editorial plan afterwards — we can propose that as a separate service.

Do you integrate the store with my ERP or in-house system?

We work with Odoo, Holded, Sage, A3, SAP Business One and custom developments. We sync stock, products, prices and orders in real time or in batches as appropriate. If your ERP has no standard API, we evaluate cost and integration feasibility during the initial consultancy.

What about maintenance after launch?

We offer a monthly maintenance plan that includes platform and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, security patches and incident support. It is not mandatory, but without it a WordPress store usually has problems within 6-12 months. From €90/month.

Do you work with clients outside Ibiza?

Yes. The studio is in Ibiza, but 70% of our ecommerce clients are in mainland Spain — Madrid, Barcelona — and the Balearics. Video meetings and Slack/email coordination work just as well as sharing an office. For larger projects we travel for the kickoff.

Complementary services for your ecommerce

An online store with no acquisition strategy is an empty shop window. We pair design with the services that move the needle from month one.
