The Problem

Why many online shops fail

Wrong platform chosen

WooCommerce for enterprise? Shopware for 50 products? The wrong choice costs years.

Budget poorly planned

The shop costs CHF 10,000 – but payment, shipping and marketing again as much.

No customers

The shop is live but nobody buys. SEO, marketing, conversion – all forgotten.

Agency dependency

You do not understand your own system and pay extra for every little thing.

My Consulting Services

Informed decisions instead of expensive experiments

I advise you independently – without own products or platform partnerships.

We actually wanted Shopware – Vincent explained to us why WooCommerce makes much more sense for our 30 products. Probably saved us CHF 20,000 and the shop has been running smoothly for 2 years.
