Your eCommerce store doesn’t work alone. We effortlessly connect it to the CRMs, ERPs, warehouse and fulfilment systems, and marketing tools like Klaviyo your business runs on. By joining everything together, data flows automatically, providing a connected operational system where you no longer have to rekey the same information across multiple platforms.

Seamless Partner API Integrations

Our Proven eCommerce Development Process

  1. Discover

    We start by getting to know your business, products, and current systems to determine what is working, what isn’t, and where to improve. It also gives us a chance to map out key user journeys, ensuring the final site is designed around how your customers browse and buy.

  2. Strategy

    After our discovery session, we then establish the right platform, features, integrations, and priorities needed for us to develop a successful store, with clear deliverables in place so everything stays on track.

  3. Design

    Our in-house eCommerce website designers get cracking on creating a shopping experience that your customers will love from the get-go. Working to your brand guidelines, every colour, font, and image is considered to produce a fully rendered, high fidelity design.

  4. Develop

    Your eCommerce site design is then handed over to our developers, turning it into a proper platform. We wire in payment gateways, functionalities, and API Integrations, making sure it all works together behind the scenes.

  5. Test

    Now it’s time to put your store through its paces. Across various devices, browsers, and real case scenarios, we rigorously test to identify and resolve any issues or defects before a single customer finds them.

  6. Launch

    Once all the pre-live checks have been done, your eCommerce platform is ready to go. We’ll monitor the transition, coordinate the final steps and keep your site updated post-launch for maximum performance.

Don’t take our word for it..

We had a fantastic experience working with the Pixel team on developing our new website. As a family-run business, it was important that our website reflected our heritage whilst bringing our brand into the modern digital world. We’re extremely pleased with the final result and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to build or improve their online presence.
Laksh ManjaniaHead of Operations - Sanjeev Jewellers
My experience of working with Pixel has been exemplary from start to finish. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Pixel was the ability to immediately understand my needs. This was particularly remarkable given the complexity of the project. As the new portal has evolved, new features have been introduced, including an AI element. Adding this was quite effortless and will improve the final product incrementally.
