When a standard store stops fitting
Standard store tools work until you sell in a way they did not plan for: cash on delivery, phone orders, two languages or local couriers.
The usual way
- Plugins stacked to fake missing features
- Orders copied between tools
- Monthly app fees for things you could own
How I do it
- A checkout built for your rules
- Orders, stock and delivery in one dashboard
- A store you own and can keep extending
What an ecommerce build includes
Storefront and checkout
Product pages, cart and checkout designed for phones first, in your languages. Mayabee runs in English and Bangla.
Orders and delivery
Phone orders, invoices, cash on delivery and courier handoff in the dashboard.
Products and stock
Catalogue, variations, stock and discounts managed in screens your team uses daily.
Payments that work
Gateways connected and tested end to end. I also wrote the payment gateway plugin for Moneybag.
Reports and team roles
Sales reports and roles for owner, manager and order staff, so people see only what they should.

WooCommerce or a custom store?
WooCommerce
Right for a standard store where your team edits products and pages. Many extensions exist.
A custom store
Right when orders, delivery, roles or stock need logic a plugin cannot give you. Mayabee is built this way.
What an online store build does not include
Product data and photos
Products, prices and photos come from you.
Payment provider and hosting fees
You pay your payment provider and host directly. I set them up.
Ongoing upkeep
Updates, backups and monitoring are a website care plan.
How a store project runs
- Step 01
Study your competitors
I look at what competitors do well and where they leave gaps, before a single screen is drawn.
- Step 02
Design the UI and UX
I design the screens myself, so what you approve is what gets built.
- Step 03
Build frontend to backend
Pages, accounts, orders, payments and the admin dashboard, built as one job.
- Step 04
Launch and look after it
Speed checked on a phone, then backups, monitoring and changes through website care.

Your questions about Ecommerce website development
Ask something else on WhatsAppHow much does an ecommerce website cost?
Custom online stores with a dashboard start at $800, usually $800 to $2,500. You get a written quote after I read your brief.
Custom store or a platform like WooCommerce?
A platform suits stores that fit what plugins already do. A custom store suits unusual rules, two languages, cash on delivery or heavy traffic. I build both and will say which fits after reading your brief.
Can you connect my payment gateway?
Yes. I connect gateways on custom stores and wrote a custom payment gateway plugin for Moneybag.
Who looks after the store after launch?
I do, on a care plan from $149 a month, or you can take it over. You own the code and the logins.
