Build · Ecommerce Development
Online stores that are built right, then actually looked after.
Cloudstruct builds and migrates Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and nopCommerce stores, with custom themes, apps, and integrations with the systems behind the store. When the store is live, the same team can keep it running.
Who it’s for
- Store owners who have outgrown a template and need custom functionality
- Businesses whose store, inventory, accounting, and fulfillment systems don’t talk to each other
- Merchants planning a move between Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and nopCommerce
- Retailers connecting an ERP such as Acumatica to their online store
Problems we fix
What usually brings people to us
- Orders, inventory, and accounting entered twice because the store isn’t connected to them
- A theme so customized by previous agencies that every update breaks something
- Too many apps slowing the store down and adding monthly cost
- Fear of losing search rankings or order history in a migration

How it works
From first call to ongoing care
01
Audit the current store and stack
Theme, apps or plugins, integrations, and data, so we know what we are working with.
02
Recommend and scope
A specific platform recommendation and a written, fixed quote.
03
Build, migrate, or extend
With redirects mapped and data migrated, tested before launch.
04
Launch and hand over
Go-live in a quiet window, with 30 days of fixes covered and an option for monthly management.
How we charge
Fixed written quote
A fixed, written quote for the build or migration, with any contingency shown up front.
What the cost depends on
- Catalogue size and product data complexity
- Custom theme and checkout work
- The number of integrations (ERP, POS, shipping, accounting)
- Data migration and redirect mapping from the current store
Every engagement
- A written quote before any work starts
- Changes approved in writing before they’re made
- You own your accounts, code, and content
Who you’ll work with
One point of contact, a team behind it
You get one point of contact from the first call through to ongoing care, with a small, senior team behind them doing the work. We have been building and supporting client systems since 2014, including a franchise’s operations platform and a corporate yoga company’s custom platform, each for more than a decade.
Cloudstruct was founded by Mark Dos Santos, who has also spent 15+ years leading ecommerce and technology teams in-house; his full background is on LinkedIn.
Common questions
How is the cost determined?
By scope: the platform, the custom work, the integrations, and the data to migrate. You get a fixed, written quote before any work starts. Nothing is billed outside the written quote without your written approval.
Which platform should we be on?
It depends on your catalogue size, how much control you need over code and hosting, and who will run the store day to day. We will give you a specific recommendation and the reasons, including when staying where you are is the right call.
Can you migrate us without losing SEO or order history?
Yes. Products, customers, and order history are migrated, and every old URL is mapped to a redirect so search rankings and bookmarked links keep working.
Who owns the store and the code?
You do. Code, configurations, documentation, and hosting and platform accounts are yours once the work is paid for. Accounts stay in your name, and we work through access you grant and can remove at any time.
What happens if something breaks after launch?
Every delivery includes a 30-day warranty: if something we delivered breaks within 30 days of go-live, we fix it at no charge. After that, a maintenance plan covers fixes and monitoring, or you can take the documentation and run it yourself.
How does this relate to Shopify & Amazon Management?
Ecommerce Development builds or moves the store. Shopify & Amazon Management keeps it running month to month: updates, monitoring, listings, and small changes.
