Sound familiar?
Your store works. Running it does not.
Every new need means another app and another monthly fee. Orders live in one tool and students in another. Reports take a spreadsheet and an afternoon. Checkout looks like everyone else's. And when the platform changes its rules, you change your business.
Five or more paid apps holding the store together
Customers and orders split across tools
Fees that rise with every sale
A checkout you cannot change
What you get
A complete platform, not a theme on rented ground.
A storefront or portal designed for your customers
Payments with Stripe, in your own account
An admin your team can run from anywhere
Products, orders, customers, courses and content in one place.
Every record migrated with a script we can re-run
Automated tests and a release pipeline from week one
Hosting in your cloud account, with monitoring, documentation and access handed over
Search rankings carry over. We map every old URL before cutover.
How it runs
Twelve weeks from first call to cutover.
The usual shape of a web build. Yours may be shorter.
Map the store you have
Week one
Products, orders, customers, apps and fees, written down in one place.
Agree on the first release
Week two
A fixed scope and a fixed number. Usually the store and the admin together.
Build and migrate in parallel
Weeks three to ten
You use the new store in staging every week. The importer runs against real data the whole time.
Cut over on a quiet day
Weeks eleven and twelve
Old URLs redirect, payments switch, and the old platform stays on until you are sure.
Proof
Every order since the first sale, moved and checked.

A straight answer
When a custom build is the wrong call.
Your store is new
Under a few hundred orders a month, a hosted platform is cheaper and faster.
The apps you rent still fit
If nothing is held together with workarounds, keep what you have.
You need it live next month
A real platform takes about twelve weeks. Anything faster is a template.

Questions
What owners ask about leaving a hosted platform.
Will we lose our search rankings?
No, when it is done right. We map every old URL to its new home and set permanent redirects before cutover. Product and category pages keep their addresses where we can.
How do payments work, and who holds the money?
Payments run through Stripe in your own account. The money goes straight to you. Card data never touches our servers.
What happens to past orders and customer accounts?
They move with you. The importer brings over orders, customers and products, then we check totals against the old platform year by year.
Who hosts it after launch?
It runs in a cloud account in your name. Our team sets up monitoring and can look after it monthly, or hand it to yours.
How long does it take?
Most web builds take about twelve weeks from the first call to cutover. You use working software in staging from the first month.
Who owns the code?
You do, from the first commit. It lives in your repositories.
