Our CS-Cart services
Store design and development, multi-vendor marketplace builds, version and theme upgrades, site optimisation for speed and search, multilingual development, and support and maintenance.
Many clients come to us with an out-of-date CS-Cart version or a theme that is no longer supported. We have recent experience updating both to current releases so stores stay secure and compliant.
We can also work as the development partner behind a designer or agency, building to their designs without template constraints.

What is CS-Cart best suited to?
Traditional online stores and multi-vendor marketplaces. It offers strong out-of-the-box functionality, a no-code layout manager and open access to the source code, so it can be customised heavily.
Our CS-Cart version is out of date. Can you help?
Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons clients contact us. CS-Cart releases around four major updates a year, and staying current matters for PCI compliance if you take payments online.
Can you work with our designer?
Yes. We do not rely on pre-existing templates or themes – CS-Cart sites are coded from the ground up, so designers keep full creative freedom.
Can CS-Cart handle multiple languages?
Yes. We have developed multilingual CS-Cart stores and use native speakers for translation so content reads correctly in each market.
Do you offer ongoing CS-Cart support?
We offer support plans and ad-hoc support, covering version updates, theme compatibility, optimisation and day-to-day fixes.
