BigCommerce Development
That Actually Converts
For US, UK and Australian Merchants

CV Infotech bills BigCommerce development at a flat $30 per hour in USD (or the equivalent in GBP and EUR). A simple custom theme build typically runs a few thousand dollars, while a complex headless build or a large migration costs more depending on scope. Every project starts with a written estimate that you approve before any work begins, so you know the cost up front. We do not use surprise change orders or hidden fees.

A freelance BigCommerce developer is a single person, which is fine for small tasks but risky for a full store build if they become unavailable. A BigCommerce agency like CV Infotech gives you a team: a project coordinator, multiple developers, and continuity if any one person is out. For a store that generates real revenue, the redundancy of a team matters. You are not dependent on one individual for a business-critical asset.

Yes. We migrate stores to BigCommerce from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and legacy or custom platforms. We move products, categories, customers, and order history, and we set up 301 redirects so your existing search rankings carry over to the new URLs. Migrations are one of the most common reasons merchants come to us, and preserving SEO through the move is a core part of our process, not an afterthought.

We build custom themes on the BigCommerce Stencil framework. We can start from a marketplace theme if your budget requires it, but we are honest about the tradeoff: heavily customised marketplace themes become hard to update. For most serious stores we recommend a custom Stencil build that is fast, mobile-first, and genuinely yours. The right choice depends on your budget and how much your brand differentiation matters.

Headless BigCommerce uses the platform as the commerce backend (products, cart, checkout) while a separate custom front end, usually built in React or Next.js, handles what shoppers see. It offers maximum speed and total design freedom. You need it if your store has outgrown the standard storefront's flexibility or speed, or if you want to serve the same catalogue across web, app, and other channels. For most stores, the standard storefront is sufficient, and we will tell you honestly if headless would be over-engineering for your needs.

A custom theme build typically takes four to eight weeks depending on complexity. A migration from another platform usually runs four to ten weeks depending on catalogue size and data cleanliness. A full headless build takes longer, often three to four months. We give you a realistic timeline in the written scope before starting, and we build in stages so you see progress throughout rather than waiting until the end.

Yes. BigCommerce has an API-first architecture that makes integration a genuine strength of the platform. We connect BigCommerce to ERP systems, CRMs, product information management tools, shipping and tax providers, and payment gateways. If your business runs on specific systems, we build clean integrations so your store and your operations stay in sync without manual data entry.

Yes. Most of our clients stay with us after launch as a retained team for updates, bug fixes, new features, and performance monitoring, billed at the same $30 per hour. A store is not a one-time build; it needs maintenance as BigCommerce releases updates, as your catalogue grows, and as you add features. Having the team that built your store maintain it means faster fixes and no re-learning curve.

Neither is universally better; it depends on your store. BigCommerce tends to suit larger catalogues, B2B requirements, and merchants who want to avoid Shopify's per-transaction fees on some plans. Shopify tends to suit smaller stores, merchants who want the simplest possible setup, and those who rely on Shopify's large app ecosystem. We build on both, so our recommendation is based on your actual needs rather than which platform we prefer to sell.

Our team is based in Gurugram, India, and we serve merchants in the US, UK, and Australia. We align our working hours and communication to your time zone, whether that is US business hours, GMT for the UK, or AEST for Australia. Our project coordinator Divya manages communication so you always have a clear point of contact regardless of the time difference.

Not if the migration is done correctly, which is exactly why the process matters. We map your old URLs to new ones and set up 301 redirects so search engines transfer the ranking value of your existing pages to the new store. We preserve metadata and structured data through the move. Done properly, a migration should not cost you rankings; done carelessly, it can, which is why we treat SEO preservation as a core deliverable rather than an optional extra.

Start with a free store audit. Contact us with your current store URL or your requirements, and we will review your situation and tell you honestly what we recommend, including whether BigCommerce is even the right platform for you. If it is a fit, we follow up with a written scope, a fixed hourly estimate, and a timeline. There is no cost or obligation for the initial audit and conversation.
