Question 1

Platform or custom build?

Accepted Answer

Start with a platform. Hosted commerce covers catalogue, checkout, payments, tax, and compliance for a predictable fee, and it is the right answer for most retailers. Custom or headless becomes worthwhile when your merchandising, pricing, or fulfilment logic cannot be expressed on the platform, or when the storefront must be part of a wider system. We assess that during scoping and recommend the cheaper option when it fits, which is often.

Question 2

Can you migrate without losing SEO?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with planning. Before launch we inventory existing URLs, map every one to its new destination, and preserve titles, descriptions, and structured data for pages that keep earning traffic. Redirects are tested as part of release, and we monitor indexing and crawl errors afterwards so anything missed is corrected quickly. Rankings can move during any migration; disciplined mapping is what keeps the movement small and recoverable.

Question 3

How do you localise for the Gulf?

Accepted Answer

By treating local payment and delivery behaviour as core requirements. That means regional gateways and card schemes, cash on delivery where your customers expect it, Arabic content and right-to-left layouts done properly rather than mirrored, VAT and invoicing handled correctly, and integration with the couriers you actually use. Localisation is agreed in the written scope, because retrofitting right-to-left support or a payment method later is considerably more expensive.

Question 4

Do you support growth after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trading support is where most of the return sits: monitoring checkout completion, fixing friction, improving page speed, running structured experiments on the journeys that carry revenue, and adding features as the catalogue grows. It runs as an agreed ongoing arrangement with prioritised work and regular reporting. You keep ownership of the store, the data, and the analytics accounts throughout.
