We have exited the adolescent era of e-commerce. Open-source offerings (like Magento/Adobe Commerce) powered many web stores—but this tech stack is now resulting in extreme Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Some merchants even spend their entire e-commerce budget just to keep the lights on, never mind being able to improve the experience to grow sales. While open-source platforms will always have their place, the future is not in open-source.
Here are a few of our favorite benefits that BigCommerce provides:
eCommerce platforms span the gamut from open source (Adobe Commerce is mostly an example) to software as a service (SaaS), of which Shopify is the best example. Open source's value is full customization. Open source's downside is a higher total cost of ownership because upgrades are time-intensive and the platforms tend to be less stable. SaaS has seen tremendous adoption in recent years, but the black-box nature means merchants have more fixed guardrails that will discourage innovation.
BigCommerce sits squarely in the middle: the benefits from both open source and SaaS. The core product is SaaS, but it's connection points are so capable you can easily build significant customizations on top of BigCommerce. In fact, BigCommerce is an API-first platform. The API has more features than the publicly-accessible frontend or admin areas.
We help you achieve your goals through BigCommerce development, optimization, consulting, and training.
We believe that design has to be functional, first, and beautiful, second. Our process starts with understanding your goals and vision. We bring our experience to the table to help shape a creative brief that will be what you want and simultaneously easy for the customer to navigate. Simplifying complex business requirements to an easy-to-use interface is difficult—and we love every opportunity to do this.
Once the design has been settled, the next phase brings these concepts to life. Our developers are BigDev Certified and are capable of the deepest levels of customization that is possible. We believe in performant (green), maintainable and secure code, in fact, we teach others how to do this.
Once your website has been released into the wild, you will undoubtedly want additional features added. We will help determine what features will bring the most value to your customers and your administrative staff—and focus on building these. We also assist with regularly reviewing key metrics to identify additional areas of improvement.
SwiftOtter has over a decade of ecommerce experience, building some of the most complex customizations in the industry. We can do this thanks to our best-in-class team (thanks, in part, to our deep people connections through our training offerings).
