When off-the-shelf can't do it, we engineer the thing that can.
Some requirements have no plugin. Custom storefronts, bespoke platform apps, deep integrations, and real-time systems — engineered TypeScript-first and documented so the advantage is durable, not a black box only we understand.

Code ownership — yours
Engineering that becomes a competitive edge.
We build the custom pieces that off-the-shelf cannot — and document them so your team owns the result, not a dependency on us.
Custom headless storefronts
Performance-first storefronts on Next.js, Nuxt, or Hydrogen — fully custom design, no template compromises, Core Web Vitals in the green.
Custom platform apps
Shopify apps, admin tools, and platform extensions that do what no off-the-shelf plugin can — built for your exact workflow.
Third-party integration
ERPs, PIMs, WMS, loyalty, and review systems integrated to be reliable under real load — not just functional in a demo.
Checkout extensibility
Custom checkout flows, upsell mechanics, multi-currency, and B2B purchasing portals built on solid, testable foundations.
Real-time systems
Live inventory, dynamic pricing, and real-time stock notifications that keep your storefront honest and customers informed.
Documented, owned handover
Every system ships TypeScript-first with documentation and version history, so any future engineer can pick it up.
Custom, without the lock-in.
Bespoke engineering is only an asset if your team can keep using it. We build TypeScript-first, document the architecture, and hand over version-controlled code with guides — so the custom work is a competitive edge you own, not a dependency on the agency that built it.
- TypeScript-first and tested
- Documented architecture and handover
- You own the codebase outright
- Built to extend, not to trap
Right fit if…
Use this to quickly gauge whether this is the right engagement for your situation.
- A requirement that no off-the-shelf app or plugin can satisfy
- Needing a fully custom storefront with no template constraints
- Integrating bespoke business logic, ERPs, or real-time data
- Wanting custom work you (or any future engineer) can actually maintain
Not sure if this is the right fit? Let's talk it through.
What clients say.
“We'd worked with two agencies before Vela. Neither of them actually understood our business. Radwan did — within the first call. The platform he built us is still the best thing we've done for our online revenue.”
Thomas K.
Head of eCommerce · Danish apparel brand
“Straightforward, technically excellent, and he tells you what he actually thinks. We asked for a migration, he spotted three things we hadn't noticed that would have cost us later. That kind of honesty is rare.”
Maria S.
Founder · DTC homeware brand
“Our previous platform was a mess of custom workarounds. Radwan rebuilt the whole thing cleanly and on budget. The site is faster, the team can actually manage it, and conversions are up.”
Frederik L.
COO · Nordic B2B retailer
Questions we always get.
It starts with a free 30-minute discovery call — no sales pitch, just an honest conversation about your situation and what you're trying to achieve. From there we scope the work, agree on a fixed price, and start. No surprises.
Fixed scope, fixed price for project work. We don't do open-ended T&M retainers — if the scope changes, we discuss it and agree a new price. Ongoing support and maintenance plans are monthly flat-rate.
You communicate directly with the person doing the work — not an account manager. We use a shared Slack channel, weekly async updates, and milestone check-ins. You'll always know exactly where things stand.
We assemble a small team of senior specialists specific to your needs — typically 2-4 people. Everyone on your project has deep experience in their domain. No juniors learning on your budget.
Yes. We offer flexible support plans from ad-hoc hours to dedicated monthly retainers. Most clients stay with us after launch for ongoing iteration, optimisation, and platform management.
Absolutely. We're comfortable in hybrid setups — working alongside your designers, marketers, or developers. We can integrate into your existing tools and workflow.
Have a requirement nothing off-the-shelf solves?
Tell us what you need to build. We'll scope it, recommend the right model — fixed-price or time & materials — and engineer it so your team owns the result.
