Web Solutions NYC is an ecommerce agency that builds, migrates, and maintains commerce platforms for businesses where ecommerce is connected to operations, systems, and revenue. We work with B2B manufacturers, wholesale distributors, multi-brand retailers, and enterprise operations on Magento and Shopware – enterprise implementations since 2007.

What makes Web Solutions NYC different from other ecommerce agencies?

Three things: we lead with strategy, we staff with senior engineers only, and we stay with clients long-term. Most agencies optimize for project throughput – we optimize for outcomes. Every engagement starts with business process mapping before technology decisions, every project is staffed with experienced engineers (no juniors, no offshore handoffs), and we transition every build into a continuous improvement partnership.

Which ecommerce platforms do you work with?

We specialize in Magento (Adobe Commerce) and Shopware. Both are enterprise-grade platforms that give businesses full control over their technology stack. Magento has deeper customization capabilities and a larger extension ecosystem. Shopware offers faster development cycles and lower total cost of ownership. We recommend the platform that fits your specific requirements – and we’re transparent when another platform is a better fit.

How much does an ecommerce project cost?

Cost depends on complexity. A standard build on either platform with typical integrations runs significantly less than a complex B2B implementation with product configurators, custom pricing engines, and deep ERP integration. We scope every project individually based on actual requirements. Our ecommerce replatforming cost guide provides a framework for thinking about budgets.

Do you work with businesses outside New York?

Yes. While we’re founded in New York City, we work with businesses across the United States and internationally. Our team operates across time zones with transparent communication and clear reporting regardless of location.

How long does an ecommerce project take?

Standard builds take 3-6 months. Complex B2B implementations with extensive integrations and custom business logic take 6-12 months. Migrations from other platforms add time for data transfer, redirect mapping, and parallel validation. We provide realistic timelines during scoping.

Can you rescue a failing ecommerce project?

Yes. We’ve inherited stores with failed integrations, incomplete migrations, security vulnerabilities, and architectural debt – and rebuilt them into stable, performant platforms without starting from scratch. If your current platform is unstable, slow, or broken by previous development decisions, we can assess what went wrong and build a recovery plan.

What’s the difference between Magento and Shopware?

Both are enterprise-grade platforms built for businesses that need full control over their technology. Magento excels when you need deep customization, extensive B2B modules, and a large extension ecosystem – ideal for massive catalogs, complex pricing, and mature business logic. Shopware offers faster development cycles, cleaner architecture, and lower cost of ownership – ideal for businesses that want control without the overhead. We recommend based on your specific requirements, not platform preference. Read our Magento vs Shopify comparison or learn what Shopware is for more context.

How do you handle migrations from our current platform?

We preserve everything that matters: product data, customer records, order history, URL structures, and SEO equity. We map all redirects, validate data integrity, reconfigure integrations, and run parallel testing before cutover. We’ve migrated from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento 1, and custom platforms – all zero-downtime, all with continuous operation. See our Shopify to Magento migration guide or our guide on outgrowing Shopify Plus.

What’s included in your long-term support?

After launch, we transition to continuous improvement partnership: security patches, performance optimization, new feature development, integration updates, and strategic guidance. You have direct access to senior engineers who know your codebase – not rotating junior developers or support tickets.

How do you approach complex integrations?

We build bidirectional, real-time data flows with your ERP, CRM, PIM, warehouse management, and marketplace channels. Not batch CSV imports or manual syncs. Orders flow to fulfillment automatically. Inventory updates propagate to the website. Pricing changes reflect in real-time. We’ve integrated with NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP, Acumatica, SkuNexus, and custom enterprise systems.

Can you help with platform assessment and due diligence?

Yes. If you’re evaluating an ecommerce business – for acquisition, investment, or portfolio optimization – we can assess the technology, identify risks, scope fixes, and build a growth roadmap. We help PE firms and acquirers understand what they’ve bought, what it will cost to stabilize, and what it can become.
