E-commerce and CMS
E-commerce and CMS
More and more consumers buy the majority of their products online, which has made e-commerce an obvious part of most selling companies. This, in turn, has contributed to the increased demand for customizable CMS solutions specifically designed for e-commerce. A well-built e-commerce platform should lead the visitor to a stylish and easy-to-navigate site, while the CMS system itself is built to make it easier for the company that runs the e-commerce.
A custom CMS for your e-commerce site
CMS stands for Content Management System and is simply a computer system that helps publish and process content on a website. Consequently, the system helps you to automate things you would normally have had to spend a lot of manual work on. A CMS that is adapted for e-commerce can, for example, facilitate when it comes to updating the stock balance, and be helpful when you want to add or remove products on the site. If you have a good CMS, the customer’s buying experience will also be better, which enables increased sales figures.
With the right CMS, you can adapt your site to be the way you want it to be and can, among other things, add different content strategies to easily optimize its content on a qualitative level. For example, if you want to optimize your e-commerce site so that it ranks high in the search engines and thus generate more traffic and customers to the site, it is important that you have a CMS solution that supports this.
Develop Your e-commerce system with Developers Shore
At Developers Shore, we can help you develop a unique e-commerce site that showcases your business and products at their best, whether your business is large or small. Our developers are familiar with all types of industries. We usually work with the platforms mentioned above, but of course we go further as our expertise covers many different e-commerce solutions. Furthermore, we also develop a CMS solution that gives you full-scale management of the website.
Our aim is to strike a balance between ease of use and creative content for the visitor to attract more customers while allowing you to implement changes safely and efficiently.

E-commerce platforms for web shops
Today, there are several e-commerce platforms to choose from when you want to develop a good e-commerce site. Some common examples are:
- Magento
- WooCommerce
- WordPress
Some platforms can also be combined and supplemented for best results. For example, WooCommerce marries very well in combination with WordPress to build a unique e-commerce site. You then acquire a WooCommerce extension to expand your existing WordPress site and transform it into an inspiring e-shop with a design theme, creative background and layout that is suitable for your particular brand. The platform also facilitates order and customer handling and more.
All e-commerce platforms have great potential to develop by using the CMS system as the framework and then filling the content and customizing it with your own unique codes and thus getting a customized e-commerce site. This is something we at Developers Shore have great experience in. Our developers have the ability to see both the technical and the artistic side and thereby meet your needs.
Most common questions and concerns
Our delivery department conducts HR interviews with prospective members of our community. These interviews focus on the developer's previous experience and previous employment and their communication skills. When we have presented a suitable candidate, he/she then completes the steps that our customer we have their internal process. Usually 2 interviews and a technical test. The responsibility for "quality assurance" of the candidate is therefore shared between us at Developers Shore and the customer.
Currently we have around 1000 developers in our community, we replenish this in cases where we do not have a suitable candidate to present to our client's assignment. We do this through marketing, headhunting and search on LinkedIn as well as external advertisements. We also apply a bonus for our members who refer friends or their own contacts who match a role or project.
This is not true, the quality of the developers is at least as good. In fact, our developers are more likely to work overtime and inconvenient working hours than Swedish consultants without asking for extra compensation.
All companies have it before they choose to spend resources and energy on correcting this in order to become more "future-proof". What we have noticed is that our developers are extremely good at finding solutions and ways of working to be able to carry out effective work anyway, through translation services e.g. Our consultants are used to working remotely and to countries with documentation or commentary in languages other than English. There is nothing new under the sun for them and it is rarely as bad as the customer thinks it is.
The majority of bad experiences come from offshore collaborations, usually India or Asia. Many times it is due to cultural differences and that although the hours have been cheap, they have been extremely long hours. This is why we work towards Europe, these developers are more like us and also appreciate how we Swedes ourselves want to work and run our development teams in the form of feedback, transparency, etc.
Our handbook (in swedish) can help you get an idea of which processes and routines might be good to implement. The responsible salesperson together with delivery people are happy to help out in our direction to ensure that you succeed with your developer(s).
