Web development for retail – Summit expertise

Web development for retail Summit expertise Summit offers versatile, cost-effective and enterprise-scale web development

Our technology team comprises 30 online retail experts with thousands of man-hours’ experience between them. We use our technical skills and knowledge of the sector to ensure that we provide:

  • Versatile digital development - We can develop social tools on Facebook using our PHP skills, integrate whatever we produce into your legacy systems with our C++ and database skills, and use the most appropriate development methodology (be it agile or waterfall) to deliver the solution you require
  • Cost-effective development - If certain technical skills are not available in-house, we use our partnerships with high quality, experienced global partners to bridge the gap – passing on the cost savings that we can achieve by outsourcing around the world
  • Marketing led development - We always adopt a commercial approach and consider factors such as usability, accessibility and SEO to be the prerequisites of a successful development project
  • Enterprise-scale development - Today’s multi-channel, multi-product world demands enterprise-scale digital developments, which we can either project-lead or offer you support for in particular areas (e.g. business analysis, design, database development, systems integration, test management)
  • Quality control - We also have fully qualified QA teams available to ensure that our work for you meets the relevant industry standards and legal requirements, and that we deliver your project on time
