Custom e-commerce store — on static HTML or Joomla
I build e-commerce stores in two formats. Lightweight "landing-shop" on static HTML — for catalogs up to 300 SKU: PageSpeed 100/100, checkout via Stripe Checkout or lead capture in a Telegram bot, $0/mo hosting (Cloudflare Pages), from $400, 2-3 weeks. Standard store on Joomla 5 + HikaShop — for catalogs of 300-5000 SKU: full admin panel, cart, multi-step checkout, integrations with Stripe/PayPal and DHL/DPD/UPS/FedEx, Telegram notifications, from $1500, 4-8 weeks. In both cases — Schema.org Product on every item, responsive mobile layout, SEO structure and analytics out of the box. Payment methods: Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay. If you have 30,000+ SKU — that's different pricing on a different platform (Magento, Shopify Plus, headless); I'll point you to the right specialist but won't take it on myself.
Frequently asked questions
Not finding yours? Message me on Telegram — I'll reply with specifics.
Which format should I choose?
Up to 300 SKU + products change rarely + speed matters + no admin panel needed — the lightweight static format. 500+ SKU + regular updates + admin panel needed for the team or managers — Joomla. Not sure? Let's discuss it, I'll suggest what fits best for free.
How long does development take?
Lightweight format — 2-3 weeks from brief to launch. Standard build on Joomla — 4-8 weeks depending on the number of integrations (ERP sync, custom logic, multi-warehouse all add time).
Which payment systems do you connect?
Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay for the international market. On the lightweight format usually Stripe Checkout (a single button-link, no cart). On Joomla — all of them via off-the-shelf HikaShop modules with fee configuration and test mode.
Can I later migrate from static to Joomla?
Yes, and it's often a natural evolution. When the catalog grows from 200 to 1000 SKU, we move products into Joomla (via CSV import) and adapt the design to a Joomla template. It's not a throw-away-and-redo, it's an expansion.
What about SEO?
Schema.org Product on every item (price, availability, brand, rating if reviews exist), correct H1/title/description with product names substituted, sitemap.xml with auto-generation, OpenGraph and Twitter Card for sharing. The lightweight format hits PageSpeed 100/100, Joomla scores 80-95 depending on the template and module count. Analytics — Google Analytics 4 and Yandex.Metrica with e-commerce events.
What if I have 30,000 products?
That's outside my scope. For that volume you need either specialised platforms (Magento, Shopify Plus, BigCommerce) or a headless stack (Medusa.js, Saleor) — different pricing, different competencies, different team. I can point you to a contact who handles that, but I won't take it on myself.
Who adds products after launch?
On static — I add them (or you do via Git, if you have repository experience). On Joomla — you do it yourself via the admin panel; I'll train you in one session and provide a video guide for typical operations (add product, change price, discount, new section).
Can I sell in multiple countries with different tax rules?
On Joomla — yes, via HikaShop region settings (VAT, currency, shipping by country). On static — trickier; easier via Stripe Checkout with automatic VAT calculation per country. We'll discuss the specific case — which products, which countries, EU OSS registration and so on.
