E-commerce · Langley, BC

E-commerce built
in Langley.

We've been a Langley-based studio since 2015. About a quarter of our work is e-commerce — WordPress + WooCommerce storefronts for local brands and manufacturers, headless Next.js Commerce for higher-traffic catalogues, and the lifecycle email + analytics work that turns first-time buyers into repeat customers. Local team, direct lines, no agency overhead.

(01) — Langley, BC

Langley has more e-commerce-ready businesses than its size suggests. Manufacturers shipping product nationally; family-run retailers building DTC arms alongside their storefronts; agricultural and outdoor-product brands selling direct; local makers running Etsy plus a dedicated site. The pattern across these is the same: they need a storefront that respects the long-haul economics of the category — not a Shopify template that costs more in monthly subscription than it earns back in differentiation.

Our Langley e-commerce work has included a premium spa gazebo manufacturer (Westview Manufacturing), service-business storefronts running quote-to-cart flows, and a handful of DTC brands with editorial content needs. The common move: WordPress + WooCommerce when the team owns content + merchandising day-to-day, headless Next.js Commerce when speed-at-scale matters, full custom when the catalogue logic earns the bespoke build.

We recommend the right stack in week one based on your team and your traffic — not on what's easiest for us to bill against.

(02) — Why us, here

What you're hiring for.

  • Local studio overhead — direct lines to the team building the store, no account managers, no offshore handoff. About 25 minutes from Langley to most of Greater Vancouver.
  • Stack we'd own ourselves — WordPress + WooCommerce for editorial DTC + manufacturers; headless Next.js Commerce for higher-traffic catalogues; full custom when warranted. We recommend in week one based on your team.
  • Real lifecycle email integration — Klaviyo, Customer.io, Braze flows modeled and shipped with the store. Welcome + abandoned-cart + post-purchase + win-back, not as a CA$15k post-launch upsell.
  • Built for ownership — your merchandising team updates products and content without filing developer tickets. CMS modeled around how editors actually work, not how developers prefer to organize data.
  • Local SEO baked in — LocalBusiness + Product schema, GBP alignment, citation hygiene. Local intent matters even for storefronts that ship nationally.

(05) — Common questions

What people in Langley
actually ask.

Are you actually in Langley?+
Yes — independent studio based here since 2015. Most of the team lives in the Fraser Valley; a couple work remotely from elsewhere in BC. Meetings happen in person when it helps the work, on Zoom when it doesn't.
What e-commerce stack do you recommend for a Langley business?+
Depends on team, content load, and traffic. Editorial DTC + manufacturers usually win on WordPress + WooCommerce — the content side of the stack is unmatched and the team can own day-to-day updates. Higher-traffic or content-heavy stores tend to need headless Next.js Commerce. We recommend in week one.
Do you integrate Affirm, Klarna, or other BNPL?+
Yes. Affirm in particular matters for higher-AOV products (we wired it for Westview Manufacturing's spa-gazebo line). Klarna, Afterpay, and PayBright also work cleanly on WooCommerce. Integration is usually a week of work + standard merchant approval timelines.
Can you migrate us off Shopify or BigCommerce?+
Yes. We've migrated stores from Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and custom-cart stacks onto modern WooCommerce or headless setups. Migrations include URL redirects, order/customer history preservation, and zero-downtime checkout cutovers.
What does Langley e-commerce development cost?+
Mid-tier WooCommerce builds typically run CA$25,000–CA$60,000 depending on catalogue and content complexity. Bespoke headless or editorial-commerce builds with custom CMS land CA$60,000–CA$150,000+. Lifecycle email + analytics setup adds CA$5,000–CA$15,000 depending on stack.
How long does a Langley e-commerce build take?+
Eight to twelve weeks for most WooCommerce builds. Headless or migration projects run twelve to sixteen weeks. The bottleneck is usually content + photography, not code. We share a week-by-week plan before kickoff.
