Start of cooperation
1. Search and selection of a company
First, we conducted market research comparing different e-commerce development companies. We paid attention to their portfolios, customer reviews, and pricing policies. We chose 1 Web Development due to their experience, wide range of services, and positive feedback.

At the first meeting with the company’s representatives, we discussed our needs and expectations. It was important to understand what functionalities we wanted to see in our online store, what design style we preferred, and what deadlines we needed. We received a detailed consultation and a preliminary estimate.
Development process.
1. Planning and Terms of Reference
After the first meeting, we worked with the 1 Web Development team to develop a detailed technical task (TT). It specified all the main functions, design layouts, and requirements for the content management system (CMS). This document became the basis for all further stages of work.
2. Design
The next step was to create the design of the online store. The company’s designers prepared several versions of the main page, category pages, product cards, and other key elements. After several rounds of revisions, we approved the final design that was consistent with our brand and user-friendly.
3. Development
After the design was approved, the programming phase began. The development team worked on creating website functionality, integrating with payment systems, and setting up the CMS. An important step was to test all the components to make sure they worked stably.
Problems and challenges
We faced some challenges during the development process. One of them was integration with our warehouse system, which had its own peculiarities. The 1 Web Development team successfully solved this issue by creating customized solutions for data synchronization.
Another problem was optimizing page loading speed, which is critical for online stores. The developers used various optimization methods to ensure that the site worked quickly, even with a large number of products.
Completion and launch
After completing all the development stages, we conducted the final testing of the site. 1 Web Development provided us with detailed instructions on how to use the CMS so that we could manage the content on our own. The online store was launched without any problems, and we immediately started receiving our first orders.
What is the result?
Working with 1 Web Development was a positive experience. They demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responded promptly to all our requests, and provided high-quality result. Our online store is stable has an attractive design and convenient functionality, which helps to increase sales.
