Xcoden E-commerce engineering

Commerce systems built from scratch.

We design and build custom e-commerce platforms for businesses whose operations don't fit a template. Three platforms shipped, each architected end to end — from data model to checkout to fulfillment.

What we build

Most agencies configure a platform and stop where it stops. We start with the part your business actually depends on, then decide what belongs on a platform and what has to be written.

01

Custom commerce platforms

Full builds in Laravel for businesses whose logic outgrew what a hosted platform allows — pricing engines, quote flows, inventory rules, operational tooling.

02

Platform engineering

Shopify, Magento, and WordPress work past themes and apps: custom checkout, catalog logic, ERP and payment integrations, performance.

03

Systems architecture

Data models, service boundaries, and integration design settled before the first migration runs — because retrofitting the foundation is the expensive way to do it.

04

Long-term development

Continued work on systems we know, with the person who built them. No handoff to a team that has to learn your codebase first.

Selected work

Three platforms, all built from scratch, all still running.

GadgetSalvation

gadgetsalvation.com

A consumer electronics buyback platform. Customers describe a device, get a priced offer, ship it in, and get paid — which means the catalog, the condition grading, the offer engine, and the payout pipeline all have to agree with each other. Built end to end on Laravel.

NDS The Label

ndsthelabel.com

A direct-to-consumer fashion storefront built from the ground up — catalog, product presentation, and checkout designed around the brand rather than fitted to a theme.

Universal Taxi Dispatch

A booking and dispatch platform — the kind of operational system no storefront product ships with, and the reason it was written rather than assembled.

How we work

Three commitments that decide most of what follows.

Architecture before code

The data model and the service boundaries get settled first. Every expensive rebuild we've seen started as a schema decision nobody wanted to make early.

Own the critical path

The workflow your revenue depends on shouldn't be a plugin you can't read. We build that part, and you keep it.

Built to be maintained

Readable code, documented decisions, and a system the next developer can pick up — whether or not that developer is us.
