Online stores that sell

A pretty store doesn't pay your bills. Conversions do. We build e-commerce sites that load fast, convert visitors, and scale with your business – on WooCommerce, Shopify, or custom-built. ANAF-compliant for Romania.

Most e-commerce stores fail not because the products are bad, but because the buying experience is. Slow load times, confusing navigation, broken mobile checkout, missing trust signals, no clear shipping info – every friction point loses customers silently. Your analytics shows the drop-off; you can't always see why.

At 82 Design, we build e-commerce stores from the checkout backwards. Frictionless mobile checkout, fast product pages, smart cart logic, transparent shipping, integrated payments (Stripe, Netopia, Mobilpay), bilingual EN/RO, and the boring-but-critical stuff: ANAF compliance, GDPR, automated invoicing. Built to convert, not just look pretty.

From idea to first sale

01

Strategy & Catalog Audit

We map your products, audience, competitors, and selling angles. Define category structure, naming conventions, attribute systems. Decide on the platform (WooCommerce, Shopify, custom) based on real needs – not just preferences.

02

UX, Wireframes & Checkout Flow

We map the user journey from landing to thank-you-page. Wireframe every key screen: home, category, product, cart, checkout. Special focus on the checkout: this is where most stores lose money.

03

Visual Design & Product Templates

Branded high-fidelity designs for every screen. Reusable product templates so adding new SKUs is fast and consistent. Mobile + desktop covered. Iterations on your feedback before any code is written.

04

Development & Integrations

Build out the store on the chosen platform. Integrate payments, shipping providers, ANAF invoicing, email marketing (Klaviyo/Mailchimp), analytics. Test every flow on real devices. Performance optimization.

05

Launch, Train & Support

Go-live with a full QA checklist. We train your team to add products, manage orders, run promotions. 30-day post-launch support included for bugs and quick fixes. Ongoing maintenance available if needed.

Stores that actually convert

💰

Conversion-first design

Every page is designed with one question: what makes them buy? Trust signals, urgency cues, social proof, friction-removal – all intentional, all measured. We track conversion rates, not page views.

🇷🇴

Built for Romanian buyers

Ramburs supported (still 30%+ of orders here). Curier integrations: Sameday, FAN Courier, Cargus. ANAF-compliant invoicing automated. Bilingual EN/RO at no extra cost. We know the local market.

Fast or it doesn't ship

3 second load time = 32% bounce rate. We optimize relentlessly: WebP/AVIF images, lazy loading, code splitting, CDN, server-side rendering where it matters. Lighthouse scores 90+ before launch.

🔧

No vendor lock-in

You own the code, the data, the assets. We use open platforms (WooCommerce on your own hosting) by default. Shopify if it's the right fit for your scale. Either way – your store, your control, your data.

Things people usually ask

It depends. WooCommerce is free, fully customizable, and you own everything – but you handle hosting, security, updates. Shopify is paid (monthly + transaction fees), less flexible, but everything just works. Rough rule: WooCommerce for stores that need custom features or B2B logic; Shopify for fast launches with standard requirements. We'll recommend based on your actual needs, not on what we prefer.
Yes. e-Factura is mandatory in Romania for B2B since 2024. We integrate with services like SmartBill, Oblio, or FacturaSmart that handle ANAF SPV transmission automatically. Each order generates a compliant invoice (factura fiscală) with proper VAT, sent to the customer and uploaded to ANAF in the required XML format.
Yes – products, customers, orders, reviews, redirects, SEO. We migrate from Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop, Gomag, custom platforms, or even spreadsheets. Special attention to 301 redirects from old URLs to new – essential for preserving SEO. Zero-downtime migration possible for most stores.
For WooCommerce, we recommend hosting providers like Hostinger, SiteGround, or Cloudways – we set them up properly. For Shopify, hosting is included in their fee. Maintenance (security patches, plugin updates, backups, performance monitoring) we offer as a monthly retainer or you can handle in-house. We always train your team so you're not dependent on us.
4-6 weeks for a typical small store (under 100 products, standard checkout). 8-12 weeks for medium stores with custom features (B2B pricing, configurators, subscriptions). 3-6 months for large catalogs, multi-language, multi-currency, complex integrations. We give you a realistic timeline upfront, and weekly updates so you always know where we are.
