Emicode builds custom online stores for Canadian and US businesses from $8,000 CAD, fixed quote after discovery. Every store ships with secure Canadian payment gateways, inventory that updates in real time, and enough speed to stay fast when a promotion sends traffic through the roof. We're a Winnipeg web development studio, and a senior engineer builds your store to carry real sales volume — not a template that chokes the moment it gets busy.
Who E-Commerce Development Is For?
Custom e-commerce is for businesses that have outgrown an off-the-shelf store, or can see the day coming. It fits you if you:
- Sell enough that a slow page or an hour of downtime shows up in the revenue
- Need checkout, pricing, or product logic a template just won't do
- Want inventory that stays in sync across your sales channels or a warehouse
- Depend on specific integrations — ERP, accounting, shipping, a CRM
- Get traffic spikes from launches, promos, or seasonal peaks and can't have the site buckle under them
What's Included
- A storefront designed and built from scratch, and built to load fast
- Secure Canadian payment gateways that support the methods your customers actually reach for
- Real-time inventory that stays accurate as orders come in and channels update
- Performance built to hold under peak traffic instead of folding when it counts
- Integrations for accounting, shipping, ERP, or a CRM, as your setup needs them
- Product and category pages with clean markup and structured data, ready to be indexed
How the Process Works
- Discovery (1–2 weeks). Kickoff, catalog and checkout requirements, integration mapping. You get a written brief and a fixed quote.
- Design (1–2 weeks). Storefront and the key flows designed and signed off before anyone writes store code.
- Build (4–8 weeks). A hand-coded store with payment and inventory integrations, on a staging environment from day one.
- Launch (3–5 days). Full checkout testing, payment verification, DNS, SSL, analytics, monitoring.
- Warranty (30 days). Any bug we ship, we fix, free.
What Drives the Price
E-commerce development starts at $8,000 CAD, fixed after discovery. What moves the number: how big and complex the catalog is, whether you need custom checkout or pricing logic, how many integrations you're wiring in and how deep they go (payments, shipping, ERP, accounting), and how much custom design work the storefront needs.
FAQ
How long does an e-commerce build take?
Typically 8 to 14 weeks end to end, depending on catalog size and the number of integrations. Discovery and design sign-off happen up front, before the build clock starts.
Which payment methods and gateways do you support?
We integrate secure Canadian payment gateways and the major methods your customers expect. We'll confirm the exact set that fits your business during discovery.
Can the store handle high-traffic sales events?
Yes — performance under peak load is a core part of how we build. Stores are engineered to stay fast and stable through launches, promotions, and seasonal spikes like Black Friday.
