Why many online stores sell less than they should

Most companies that contact us about e-commerce already have a store. The problem is rarely that it is missing, but that it is not doing its job. Product pages are thin, checkout has one step too many, mobile payment is clumsy and nobody really knows where customers leave. The store was built as a project, launched, and has stood still ever since.

A store that works looks different. It loads fast on a phone, shows stock and delivery times clearly, lets customers pay the way they are used to, and passes each order on to inventory and accounting without anyone retyping it. And someone follows up on how it performs, every month.

Our e-commerce development process, step by step

We work in the same order whether you are building a store from scratch or handing over an existing one:

  1. Understand the business. We go through your range, margins, customer groups, how orders are handled today and which systems are already in place. That shapes every later decision.
  2. Choose the platform. Shopify, WooCommerce or custom code. We recommend what fits you, not what we prefer to build in. Our guide to choosing a website platform covers the trade-offs.
  3. Structure and product data. Categories, filters, variants and product pages that answer what buyers actually ask. This is where both conversion and search visibility are decided.
  4. Payments and shipping. Card, Swish, invoice and instalments through the providers you choose, plus shipping options with clear prices and delivery times in the checkout.
  5. Integrations. Connections to inventory, business systems, accounting and email, so an order flows all the way through without manual work.
  6. Test and launch. We test the purchase flow on real devices, with real payments, before the store goes live.
  7. Measure from day one. Behaviour analytics without cookies and without personal data, so we can see where in the flow visitors leave.

What drives cost and timeline in an online store build

We do not publish prices, because two stores are rarely alike. These are the factors that usually decide the scope:

FactorSimplerMore extensive
RangeDozens of products with few variantsThousands of items with sizes, colours and bundles
PlatformStandard theme on Shopify or WooCommerceCustom design or fully custom code
PaymentsOne provider with card and SwishSeveral methods, B2B invoicing, customer-specific prices
ShippingA few fixed optionsRules by zone or weight, or local home delivery
IntegrationsNone or oneInventory, ERP, accounting and marketplaces
ContentYou supply finished copy and imagesWe write, structure and translate

For the wider picture, we have written about what a website costs and what separates the different set-ups.

After launch: an online store that improves every month

Launch is the start, not the finish. Our model is a monthly cycle: build, measure, learn, improve. In practice, every month we:

  • review where visitors abandon checkout and which product pages lead nowhere
  • test and ship improvements, such as fewer checkout fields or clearer delivery information
  • keep the store fast, because a slow store loses buyers on mobile
  • handle platform, plugin and security updates
  • set up campaigns and seasonal flows well ahead of your peaks

Because we measure without cookies and without third-party trackers, the store needs no cookie banner for analytics, and you avoid collecting personal data you do not need.

Why choose Almano for e-commerce development?

There are several ways to get a store up and running. Honestly, we are not the right fit for everyone.

OptionFits whenDrawback
Do it yourself on ShopifySmall range and time to learnNobody follows up or improves
FreelancerA contained project with a clear specVulnerable if that person becomes unavailable
Traditional Swedish agencyLarge budget and an in-house e-commerce teamHigher cost, often a project that ends at launch
AlmanoYou want one partner that builds and keeps running itWe are a young agency, founded 2025

What sets us apart is the set-up. You get Swedish-speaking contact, development is done by our own team in Nha Trang, Vietnam, which keeps cost down, and the same partner can handle digital marketing, social media and support. One partner instead of five vendors. You own everything and can cancel any time.

An example: seasonal peaks at a garden centre

For nyaljusekulla.se, a garden centre in Helsingborg, we built an online store with same-day local delivery and pre-order flows around peaks like Mother’s Day. It shows why e-commerce is rarely off the shelf: the flows need to follow how your business actually sells.

FAQ

It depends mainly on the number of products and variants, the payment and shipping options you need, integrations with inventory or business systems, and whether the store runs on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom code. We send a proposal after a first call, and our cost level is lower than a typical Swedish agency because development is done by our own team in Vietnam.

A small store with a limited range and standard integrations is much faster than one with thousands of items, custom shipping rules and an ERP connection. The biggest time factor is usually product data: images, descriptions and prices that need to be ready and correct.

Yes. You own the site, the code, the content and the customer records. There is no lock-in, and you can end the arrangement whenever you like and take everything with you.

Your product range with prices, product images or access to them, your shipping and returns terms, and agreements with the payment and shipping providers you choose. We help structure the product data and set up the integrations technically.

The ongoing work starts. Every month we measure where visitors drop off, improve checkout, product pages and speed, and handle updates and security, so the store gets better instead of older.
