E-Commerce Website Development in Mumbai — Next.js & React

A focused e-commerce build — covering a product catalogue, category filtering, cart, checkout, and payment gateway integration — typically starts from ₹35,000 in Mumbai. A more comprehensive store with custom animations, size-guide tools, loyalty-programme logic, inventory sync, and a headless CMS can range from ₹80,000 to ₹2,00,000 depending on scope. I provide a detailed quote after a free discovery call — no vague ballparks.

Yes — Next.js is my default for most e-commerce builds. It gives you server-side rendering, fast image optimisation, built-in SEO metadata control, and the App Router for clean, maintainable code. React powers the interactive parts — the product filters, variant pickers, cart drawer, and checkout flow. For simpler storefronts where every millisecond of load speed matters, I use Astro, which ships zero JavaScript by default.

I built the Passing Gifts storefront — a responsive, custom-built e-commerce experience with carefully crafted micro-animations and a smooth checkout flow. I specialise in clothing and fashion e-commerce, particularly kids clothing stores, D2C apparel brands, and ethnic fashion labels. The key focus is always the same: clear product presentation, detailed size guides, fast mobile load times, and a checkout process that doesn't leak conversions.

A kids clothing e-commerce site needs age-group and size filtering that actually works, detailed size guides with measurements in both centimetres and age groupings, high-resolution product photography with zoom, a visible and simple return policy on every product page, customer reviews with photos, and a checkout that doesn't require account creation. Parents shop on mobile — so the entire experience needs to be as smooth on a phone at 4G speeds as it is on a desktop.

SEO is built into every e-commerce site I deliver — not added as an afterthought. That includes proper heading structure, unique product-page titles and meta descriptions, clean URL architecture (e.g. /shop/kids-ethnic-wear/ not ?cat=12), image alt text for every product photo, structured data markup for Product and Offer, a sitemap submitted to Google Search Console, and fast load times. For clothing brands, I also target long-tail search terms like 'cotton kurta set for kids Mumbai' alongside the broader category terms.

A focused online store — product catalogue, category pages, cart, checkout, payment integration, and basic SEO — typically takes 4–6 weeks from the first brief to live deployment. A more complex build involving custom animations, admin panels, inventory management, or loyalty features can take 8–12 weeks. I share a clear timeline at the start of every project and send weekly progress updates.

Shopify is a good fit if you need to launch quickly without technical involvement, have a straightforward product catalogue, and are happy within its template ecosystem. A custom Next.js store makes more sense when you need a unique brand experience that Shopify themes can't deliver, complex product logic (multi-variant clothing with size-chart integrations), specific SEO architecture control, or when you want to own your tech stack without platform lock-in and monthly fees that scale with your revenue.

Yes. I integrate Razorpay for Indian transactions — UPI, credit/debit cards, net banking, EMI on select banks — and Stripe for international payments. Both are set up with proper webhook handling for order confirmation, failure recovery, and refund flows. Sensitive card data never touches your server.

Yes. Depending on your team's comfort level, I set up either a headless CMS (like Sanity or Contentful) with a clean editing interface, or a purpose-built admin panel. You'll be able to add products, update pricing, manage inventory levels, and publish blog posts or banners without touching code. I provide a walkthrough before handover.

Absolutely. Over 70% of clothing purchases in India happen on mobile. Every store I build is designed mobile-first — touch-friendly product grids, swipeable galleries, thumb-accessible filters, and a checkout that works cleanly on small screens. I test across real devices before every launch.
