How an engagement runs
Choose the platform, build the store, connect the business.

Platform selection & strategy
Choosing the right e-commerce platform is the most important decision you will make.
We evaluate Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and headless solutions against your product catalogue, sales volume, budget and growth plans, rather than pushing a single platform.
For businesses outgrowing their current platform, we plan migrations that preserve SEO rankings, customer data and order history, so the transition is seamless for your customers and your team. You leave with a clear roadmap: platform recommendation, integration requirements and a phased delivery plan that gets you selling as quickly as possible.

Store design & development
Every design decision is guided by conversion: fast page loads, clear product presentation, streamlined checkout and trust signals that reduce cart abandonment.
For Shopify we build custom themes and apps that go far beyond template limitations. For Magento we develop extensions and integrations that handle complex catalogues, multi-store setups and B2B pricing rules.
We also build headless storefronts on the Shopify Storefront API or Magento GraphQL with React frontends, giving you complete creative control over the shopping experience while a proven commerce engine runs behind the scenes.

Integrations & growth
A successful e-commerce operation connects your store to your entire business, so orders flow through without manual intervention.
We integrate your platform with payment providers, inventory systems, shipping carriers and accounting software: Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay and Google Pay configured for maximum conversion with fraud protection built in; warehouse, 3PL or dropshipping partners for automated order routing and real-time stock updates; GA4, Meta Pixel, Klaviyo and Mailchimp for full-funnel attribution.
Analytics and tracking give you full visibility into your sales funnel: where customers come from, where they drop off, and what drives them to purchase. Post-launch, we help you grow with SEO, performance tuning and new feature development as your catalogue and customer base expand.

Why Maven
E-commerce that drives revenue.
We build online stores that look great and sell well. Every decision is driven by data and conversion optimisation, not just aesthetics.
Conversion focused
Every decision is guided by what makes customers buy. We obsess over page speed, checkout friction and trust signals.
Platform agnostic
We recommend the platform that fits your business, not the one that pays the highest commission. Honest advice saves you money in the long run.
SEO built in
Structured data, fast page loads, proper URL structures and optimised product schemas are baked into every store we build.
Mobile-first design
Over 70% of e-commerce traffic comes from mobile. We design for phones first and scale up to every device.
Scalable infrastructure
Whether you sell 10 or 10,000 orders a day, we build for peak traffic and seasonal spikes from day one.
Ongoing optimisation
We do not build and leave. Ongoing A/B testing, performance tuning and feature development keep your conversion rates climbing.
Shopify, Magento, or headless?
For most UK retailers under £5m revenue, Shopify is the right answer — it has the lowest total cost of ownership and the best app ecosystem. Magento makes sense for complex B2B catalogues or multi-store operations. Headless (Shopify Storefront API or commercetools + a React frontend) is for brands that need a fully custom experience and have the engineering capacity to maintain it.
Can you migrate us from Magento 1 to Shopify Plus?
Yes. We have run several Magento 1 → Shopify Plus migrations, preserving SEO (redirect maps, structured data continuity), customer data, order history, and integrations with ERP/WMS/3PL systems. A typical migration runs 8-16 weeks depending on catalogue complexity.
How do you handle SEO during a platform migration?
Old-URL-to-new-URL redirect mapping, schema.org preservation, sitemap re-submission, Search Console transfer, and a 90-day post-launch monitoring window. We have moved 10,000+ SKU catalogues without losing organic traffic — but it requires a disciplined process, not just turning a switch.
Can you build custom Shopify apps?
Yes. We build private and custom Shopify apps using Remix and the Shopify App SDK — useful for B2B pricing rules, custom configurators, ERP integrations, and bespoke checkout extensions on Shopify Plus.
What about conversion rate optimisation?
Every store we build ships with GA4, Meta CAPI, and conversion event instrumentation wired up correctly from day one. We can also run structured A/B tests on checkout, PDP, and PLP layouts — typical wins are 5-15% conversion uplift on the first 2-3 tests.
How fast can my store be?
On Shopify, target an LCP under 2.0s on a slow 4G connection. On headless, sub-1.5s is realistic. Most stores we audit are at 4-6s and need work on image delivery, theme JavaScript, and third-party tag bloat — all of which we fix as part of the build.
