Websites and ecommerce that work behind the scenes, not just up front.
WordPress, WooCommerce, and Shopify builds, rebuilds, repairs, migrations, catalog cleanup, storefront improvements, and the operational work that keeps the site useful after launch.
A business website should be easy for customers to use and reasonable for the business to manage. Raymond Tec works on both sides of that equation, from the pages people see to the product data, apps, integrations, inventory, and workflows underneath them.
WEBSITE & STORE PROJECTS
A good site should be usable by the business too.
The visible site matters, but so does what it takes to keep products current, publish content, manage orders, make routine changes, and hand the system to somebody else without a scavenger hunt.
Who this is for
New builds. Small businesses that need a professional website or store without turning the project into an agency-scale production.
Existing stores that have grown messy. Catalogs, navigation, search, filtering, inventory presentation, apps, or checkout paths that now create more friction than they remove.
Inherited sites. Businesses taking over a WordPress or Shopify site from a previous developer and needing someone to make sense of what is already there.
Platform decisions. Owners comparing Shopify, WooCommerce, or another approach and wanting the recommendation to follow the business instead of somebody’s favorite tool.
Common projects
Build and redesign: new WordPress, WooCommerce, and Shopify sites; theme customization; layout work; and storefront redesigns.
Move and clean up: site migrations, platform migrations, catalog restructuring, product imports and exports, and years of accumulated content or plugin clutter.
Improve how people shop: collections, categories, search, filtering, navigation, product templates, availability messaging, and checkout-adjacent fixes.
Fix the awkward part: plugin or app troubleshooting, performance problems, technical SEO cleanup, access and configuration problems, suspicious or abandoned components, and focused custom features where an off-the-shelf option does not quite fit.
WordPress, WooCommerce, or Shopify — use the platform that fits the job.
There is no prize for forcing every business into the same stack. The right platform depends on what the site needs to do, who has to maintain it, how the catalog behaves, and how much infrastructure the business wants to own.
WordPress & WooCommerce
WordPress can be a straightforward business site, a publishing platform, a course site, or a full ecommerce system. That flexibility is useful, but it also means sites can accumulate years of plugins, page-builder decisions, abandoned settings, and conflicting fixes.
Raymond Tec handles new builds, redesigns, theme and child-theme customization, plugin configuration, custom plugins, WooCommerce setup, forms, user roles, access cleanup, migrations, performance work, technical SEO, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Shopify
Shopify removes a lot of infrastructure work, but a good store still depends on clean product data, sensible collections, useful navigation, carefully chosen apps, and a theme that supports the way customers actually shop.
Projects can include store setup, theme customization, homepage and template work, tags and filters, search and navigation, app configuration, inventory presentation, product imports and exports, catalog cleanup, blog content, technical SEO, and storefront troubleshooting.
BEHIND THE STOREFRONT
Ecommerce is more than a website with products.
The storefront is the visible end of an ecommerce operation. Behind it are product records, categories, inventory, availability, vendor information, fulfillment rules, apps, marketplace connections, content, and usually at least one spreadsheet everybody is afraid to touch.
Product data
Catalog cleanup, CSV workflows, imports and exports, product relationships, tags, categories, variants, vendor data, and the structure that keeps the catalog from becoming harder to maintain every month.
Storefront experience
Collections, search, filtering, navigation, product templates, availability messaging, content, and the paths customers use to find the right thing without fighting the site.
Operations
Inventory synchronization, vendor or distributor feeds, marketplace-adjacent workflows, fulfillment data, reporting, and automations that keep the same information from being entered by hand in three different places.
When the problem extends beyond the store, Automation & Integrations can connect the surrounding systems, while Content & Digital Presence can help with product copy, collection content, articles, and the search groundwork around the site.
Sometimes another plugin or app is not the answer.
Off-the-shelf tools are usually the first place to look. There is no reason to custom-build something that an established WordPress plugin, WooCommerce extension, or Shopify app already handles well.
There is also a point where stacking one more subscription onto a workaround stops making sense. A small custom plugin, integration, reporting tool, or internal utility can sometimes be simpler, cheaper to operate, and easier to maintain.
Use the established tool when it fits
If a mature plugin or app solves the problem cleanly, that is usually the sensible answer. The goal is not to manufacture development work where configuration will do.
Build the missing piece when it does not
When the workflow is genuinely specific, Raymond Tec can handle the custom-development side too. Broader software projects live under Custom App Development.
Inherited and half-finished work is welcome
A previous developer, abandoned migration, broken theme, mystery plugin stack, or unfinished storefront does not automatically require starting over. Project Rescue & Contract Work exists for exactly that kind of handoff.
How a website or ecommerce project usually works
1. Start with the actual problem
You do not need to know whether you need a plugin, theme change, migration, integration, or rebuild before getting in touch. Describe what is happening and what you need to be different.
2. Inspect what already exists
For an existing site, that means looking at the platform, theme, plugins or apps, hosting where relevant, product structure, integrations, and the specific parts causing trouble.
3. Define the work
Small fixes can stay small. Larger projects can be scoped as fixed work, phased work, hourly work, or contract development depending on what actually makes sense.
4. Build and test safely
Changes that affect checkout, product data, navigation, integrations, authentication, administrator access, forms, plugins or apps, and other business-critical functions should be tested away from the live workflow when practical. Security does not need to wait for a separate maintenance project: access, recovery accounts, backups, unnecessary exposure, and the components being trusted are worth checking while the site is already open on the workbench.
5. Launch, document, and hand off
The goal is not to leave you with a site only the person who built it understands. Access, documentation, important decisions, and any ongoing maintenance requirements should be clear at handoff.
Need to start smaller—or worried about exposure?
A broken form, one ugly collection page, a bad import process, a theme problem, a single irritating workflow, or a nagging concern about who still has access and what is exposed can be a complete project by itself. If security is the main question rather than the website work around it, Security & Maintenance is the better place to start.
Have a website problem that does not fit neatly into a category?
That is fine. If the site is broken, outdated, repetitive to manage, difficult to edit, unfinished, or simply not doing what the business needs anymore, describe what is happening. Figuring out whether the answer is a repair, cleanup, integration, migration, or rebuild is part of the work.
Automation & Integrations
Connect the store to inventory, reporting, vendor data, email, fulfillment, and the other systems around it.
Content & Digital Presence
Improve product copy, collection content, website structure, technical SEO, articles, and ongoing publishing workflows.
Project Rescue & Contract Work
Bring the stalled build, inherited site, abandoned migration, or project that needs another capable set of hands.
