Custom Store & Ordering Systems

From storefront to back-office - a digital store built around how you actually sell, not how templates expect you to.

Home    Custom Store & Ordering Systems

Many local businesses want a serious online presence, but end up stuck between generic website builders and complex e-commerce platforms that don’t match how they really work. We build custom stores and ordering systems that connect your customers, your products, and your team in one simple, reliable experience.

More than a website. A store your team can actually run.

Instead of fighting with plugins and workarounds, we design the flow of browsing, ordering, and fulfillment around your reality: delivery or pickup, preparation times, product rules, stock, and how your team operates day to day.

The result is a store that looks great, loads fast, and feels natural for both customers and staff.

Who this is for

  • Local shops and specialty retailers
  • Butchers, bakeries, cafés, restaurants
  • Food businesses with delivery or pickup
  • Businesses outgrowing basic “brochure” websites

What you can expect

  • Less time spent managing orders manually
  • Easier product & price updates
  • Better mobile experience for customers
  • Stronger, more trustworthy online presence

What we build into your store

A complete solution: storefront, admin, operations, and integrations.

Modern storefront

Fast, responsive pages where customers can browse, search, filter, and place orders comfortably on any device.

Clean admin dashboard

Simple back-office for managing products, categories, prices, photos, and orders - no technical skills required.

Operational flows

Delivery/pickup options, preparation time rules, cut-off times, order statuses, and everything needed for your daily operations.

Integrations

Payments, email/SMS notifications, analytics, and other systems you already use - connected to your store.

Built with real operations in mind

Our store projects are shaped by close collaboration with business owners and staff: how orders come in, how they are prepared, and what information needs to be visible at each step.

This means you don’t get a “demo-perfect” store that breaks under real usage - you get a system designed to be used every single day.

We also pay attention to performance, image optimization, and deployment, so your store loads quickly and remains stable even under peak times.

Highlights you can expect

  • Frontend and admin built with modern frameworks
  • Optimized images and fast page loads
  • Clear separation between test and production environments
  • A deployment process you can trust over time

How a store project works with XPANDFLOW

A structured path from first idea to launch - and beyond.

01. Discovery

We map your catalog, order flow, business rules, and constraints to understand what the store needs to support.

02. Plan & UX

Together we decide which features go into the first version, and shape the experience for customers and staff.

03. Build & integrate

We implement the storefront, admin dashboard, and integrations, then connect everything to your infrastructure.

04. Launch & support

We deploy, monitor, and refine based on real orders. We stay available with maintenance and improvements as you grow.

Frequently asked questions

A few of the questions we often hear when businesses consider a custom store.

How is this different from using Shopify, WooCommerce, or a website builder?

Those tools are great for many cases, but they can become limiting when your products, rules, or workflows don’t fit what the platform expects. With a custom store, we design the system around your reality instead of forcing you into someone else’s structure.

Do I need to be “technical” to manage the store?

No. The whole point of the admin dashboard is to make it easy for non-technical staff to manage products, prices, and orders. We also provide guidance and can record short walkthroughs if needed.

Can we start small and grow the store over time?

Yes. We usually recommend a focused first version that already delivers value, then iterate based on real usage and feedback. New features, integrations, and optimizations can be added as your needs evolve.
