Where stores lose money

Stores fail in specific, fixable places.

Revenue rarely leaks everywhere at once. It leaks at the product page, the checkout, the catalogue, the feeds. I work those failure points until the numbers move, then hand you something your team can own.

01

Slow product & category pages

Large catalogues crawl. Product and category pages take seconds to load, and shoppers leave before they ever reach the cart.

02

A checkout that leaks sales

Every extra step, slow field or avoidable error at checkout costs conversions on the one page where it hurts most.

03

A catalogue that won't scale

Thousands of products, variations and filters bring the store to its knees; search and navigation turn slow and unreliable.

04

Core Web Vitals failing

Poor LCP, INP or CLS drag rankings and hurt conversion — and "install a cache plugin" hasn't fixed it.

05

Feeds & stock out of sync

Prices, stock and orders drift between WooCommerce, your ERP or PIM and marketing feeds, and someone reconciles it by hand.

06

A plugin stack that keeps breaking

Twenty plugins hold the store together; every update risks checkout, and nobody wants to be the one to touch it.


E-commerce services

WooCommerce engineering for stores competing in Barcelona and beyond.

Focused WooCommerce work — not generic WordPress. Checkout, performance, catalogue architecture, integrations and AI that touches real product ops.

01

Checkout & conversion

Fewer steps, clearer errors, faster payment methods. Cart and checkout rebuilt or stabilised so mobile buyers finish the order.

  • Cart & checkout UX and logic
  • Gateways, wallets, local methods
  • Upsells that don’t tank performance
02

Core Web Vitals & speed

Product and category pages that pass on real devices. Caching, image pipelines, script diet and query work measured on live URLs.

  • LCP, CLS, INP on key templates
  • Object & page cache done properly
  • Before / after reports you can verify
03

Catalogues at scale

Variable products, attributes, faceted search and imports designed for inventories that break “default” WooCommerce.

  • PLP / filter performance
  • Bulk import & update pipelines
  • Search that stays relevant under load
04

Subscriptions & recurring

Reliable renewals, dunning and account areas. Subscription logic that survives plugin updates and payment retries.

  • WooCommerce Subscriptions hardening
  • Customer account flows
  • Failed payment recovery paths
05

ERP, PIM & feeds

Stock, price and content in sync. Custom APIs, scheduled jobs and feed exports without spreadsheet archaeology.

  • ERP / PIM connectors
  • Merchant & channel feeds
  • Idempotent nightly syncs
06

AI for product ops

Agents that draft descriptions, fill attributes and flag gaps — plugged into your catalogue workflow, always with human review.

  • Description & attribute enrichment
  • RAG over your product knowledge
  • n8n / Make flows into WooCommerce

Why store teams hire me

A WooCommerce specialist, not a generalist.

Stores fail in specific places — queries, checkout, cache, feeds. I work those failure points until the numbers move, then hand you something your team can own.

Revenue-minded engineering

Speed and UX changes are judged by conversion and stability, not by a Lighthouse screenshot alone.

Production-first discipline

Staging, rollbacks, and changes that survive the next sale. No “works on my machine” deploys into Black Friday.

Clear scope and numbers

You get an estimate and a plan before build starts. Scope drift is flagged early, not on the invoice.

Handover your team can run

Readable code, short notes, and no mystery plugins. You should not need me forever to keep the store healthy.

AI where it pays off

Product content and ops automation when it saves hours — not chat widgets for the sake of a slide.

Fits your stack

Existing theme, builders, ERP and agencies welcome. I adapt to your repo and process, not the other way around.

Agency partners welcome. White-label delivery available if you resell store work under your brand. See the agencies page.

For agencies

The real comparison

Another plugin, or a store that holds up?

Patch stacks grow. Revenue needs a stable checkout, fast product pages and data that stays in sync.

Plugin-first approach

Quick on day one. Fragile on day ninety.

  • ? Checkout slowed by stacked extensions
  • ? CWV fixed in lab, fails on mobile 4G
  • ? Catalog filters time out in campaign week
  • ? Stock/price drift after every CSV upload
  • ? Nobody owns the “mystery” stack

Engineering the store

Fewer moving parts, clearer ownership.

  • ✓ Checkout tuned for completion
  • ✓ CWV measured on live product URLs
  • ✓ Queries & cache for real catalogue size
  • ✓ ERP/feed sync you can trust
  • ✓ Documented so your team can continue

Ways to work together

From a sharp fix to a full store build.

Starting prices. Final number depends on catalogue size, integrations and how much is broken vs greenfield.

One-off fix

A single, contained problem

from400€

A broken gateway, a filter that times out, a cart total that lies — fixed properly, with a short note on why.

Best when Something is on fire and you need a senior pair of hands without a project kickoff.

Most common

Conversion / performance sprint

A defined chunk, to a deadline

from1,500€

Checkout, CWV or catalogue work scoped to what moves revenue — delivered in a focused block with before/after metrics.

Best when You know the bottleneck (speed, checkout, filters) and want a clear outcome, not open-ended hours.
Check availability

Monthly capacity

Reserved, ongoing time

from1,000€/mo

A block of store engineering each month for campaigns, features, debt and the tickets that never stop.

Best when You run continuous e-commerce and need dependable senior capacity without a full-time hire.
Check availability

Full store delivery

Catalogue to launch

from5,000€

Architecture, theme/build, checkout, payments, shipping and handover — a store your ops team can actually run.

Best when You are launching or rebuilding and want one accountable engineer through go-live.
Check availability

These are starting points. Final pricing depends on catalogue size, integrations, timeline and how much custom work sits on top of WooCommerce core.


How it works

Audit, plan, ship, measure.

STEP 01

Share the store

URL, what hurts (speed, checkout, catalog, ERP), traffic peaks and any hard deadlines.

STEP 02

Technical read

I profile key templates, list risks and send a scope with estimate and start date — before any paid build.

STEP 03

Build & stabilise

Work lands in staging first. You see progress against the agreed outcomes, not a black box of hours.

STEP 04

Measure & hand over

Before/after metrics on the URLs that matter, short notes, and a store your team can keep improving.


FAQ

Store questions, answered.

Yes. Most gains come from queries, images, caching, scripts and checkout — measured on live product and category URLs before and after. A rebuild is only recommended when the foundation is genuinely beyond saving.

Yes. Faceted search, variable products, imports and caching strategies designed for inventories that break default WooCommerce setups. Catalogue size is part of the estimate, not a surprise later.

Yes. Custom syncs, scheduled imports and API connections so stock, price and content stay consistent — without manual CSV chaos after every supplier update.

Yes. Draft generation, attribute enrichment and catalog ops agents that plug into your WooCommerce workflow, always with human review before publish.

Classic PHP themes, block themes, and common builders when they are already in place. I optimise within your stack when possible; I recommend a change only when the stack itself is the bottleneck.

You share the store URL, the problem and any constraints. I ask a few technical questions, then return a scope, estimate and start date. Numbers are based on real work, and scope changes are flagged before they hit the budget.

Yes. Delivery under your brand is available. See the agencies page for capacity models, or just say so in the contact form.

WooCommerce developer · Barcelona

A WooCommerce developer in Barcelona who works below the theme layer.

For teams that already have a real store and need engineering rather than another visual refresh. I work in the Barcelona time zone, can meet locally when useful, and support stores across Spain and Europe remotely.

Store performance that protects revenue

Fix LCP, INP, database bottlenecks, third-party scripts and slow templates on the pages that affect product discovery, cart and checkout.

See WooCommerce performance work

Checkout and custom WooCommerce development

Custom product logic, checkout flows, subscriptions, payments and shipping integrations built without turning the store into a plugin dependency maze.

Explore checkout optimisation

ERP, PIM and operational integrations

Connect WooCommerce to the systems behind the store: stock, pricing, product data, feeds, CRM and internal workflows, with failure handling and monitoring.

See WordPress & WooCommerce API integrations

The local angle is practical, not decorative: same-time-zone collaboration, direct access to the developer, and implementation on the live WordPress/WooCommerce stack after staging and QA.
