Project Story

Novaformbio: Shopify-level e-commerce built from scratch in 8 weeks.

Novaformbio needed a custom e-commerce platform with full product management, shopping cart, checkout, payments, and admin tools. CodexDeus built it from scratch in 8 weeks.

The Story

Why build custom instead of using Shopify?

Shopify works for most e-commerce. But when the business has specific workflow requirements, custom pricing logic, or integration needs that platforms cannot support, building custom makes sense.

Novaformbio needed a web application that matched their exact business process. CodexDeus delivered a full e-commerce system with the same core capabilities as Shopify: product catalog, cart, checkout, payments, order management, and admin dashboard, but built specifically for their requirements.

  • Full e-commerce web application
  • Product catalog, cart, checkout, payments
  • Admin dashboard for inventory and orders
  • Custom-built, not a Shopify theme
  • 8 weeks from start to production
