What you get

True Custom Development

Each Seattle e-commerce site is engineered from the ground up by a senior developer—no generic templates, no shortcuts. You get a storefront built for your products, workflows, and integration stack, ready for scale and security.

Your Choice of Modern Platforms

DoodleWeb specializes in Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and headless React/Next.js architectures. We help you select the right tech for your sales model, integrations, and growth plan—no vested interest in a single ecosystem.

End-to-End Migration and Staff Training

We migrate all content—products, customer data, orders—from any legacy platform. Your team receives hands-on training, ensuring updates and day-to-day management are in your control from launch.

Accessibility and Security as Baseline

WCAG and ADA compliance are baked in, along with enterprise-grade security. This protects organizations handling sensitive information or selling into the public sector—no retrofits required.

No-Surprises Fixed Pricing

Project scope and costs are set and agreed up-front; phased milestones and clear deliverables mean no surprise invoices or sunk costs partway through.

Local Support After Launch

Post-launch retainers cover updates, security fixes, UX tweaks, and search/AEO optimization—so your Seattle e-commerce store stays fast, safe, and visible.

How it works

  1. 1

    Collaborative Strategy & Site Audit

    We begin with a deep-dive strategy call and a technical review of your current stack (if you have one). The outcome: a custom, reality-based project scope.

  2. 2

    Fixed Bid, Clear Timeline

    You get a detailed proposal covering every phase, integration, and migration—at a fixed price with precise deadlines.

  3. 3

    Senior Developer Execution & Reviews

    Your project is built and reviewed by senior engineers only. You preview every milestone, sign off at each step, and never get passed to juniors or offshore teams.

  4. 4

    Launch, Quality Checks, and Onboarding

    We handle QA, run deployment, train your staff, and provide hands-on post-launch support to ensure everything works as promised from day one.
