Corporate websites, ecommerce builds, adaptive design
Three service lines cover most of what clients come to us for — and they overlap more than the labels suggest.
What you can commission from Oliveasia
A corporate site with a product catalogue is halfway to a store, and an ecommerce build still needs the credibility signals of a corporate site. Each row below opens the detail further down this page, so you can judge fit and scope before you get in touch.
Corporate website development
A corporate site is a communication tool with a structure behind it. We plan the page hierarchy around what visitors need to find: services, proof, people, contact. Content is written or reviewed before design, because designing around placeholder text produces layouts that break the moment real copy arrives.
For companies selling to larger organisations, we build in the accessibility and procurement signals that enterprise buyers look for, including WCAG-aligned markup and Section 508 references where relevant. The result is a site that reads as credible to a buyer and a procurement team at the same time.
- Page hierarchy agreed from the visitor's questions, not from an internal org chart.
- Real copy reviewed before design so the layout survives contact with the words.
- Semantic markup, keyboard navigation and alt-text discipline built in from the start.
Every claim on this page has a build stage behind it.
Ecommerce website development
Store builds start with the operational questions, not the homepage. How many products, how many variants, what shipping zones, which payment methods, and how returns work. We implement the catalogue structure, product detail templates, cart, and checkout, then connect the systems behind them.
Payment options are matched to your customers: PayNow for local familiarity, card payments through a provider such as Stripe, or invoice and bank transfer for wholesale and B2B orders. Cash on delivery stays on the table where it suits the operation. Nothing is added to a checkout that your business cannot actually fulfil.
What we settle before the build starts
- Catalogue
- Product count, variants, and how categories map to how people actually shop.
- Fulfilment
- Shipping zones, delivery options, and the returns path your team can support.
- Payments
- Only the methods your operation can process, from PayNow to invoice and bank transfer.
Adaptive web design
We build mobile-first and let the layout adapt upward, which is the reverse of how many older sites were made. Content priority is decided at the smallest size, then the design uses the extra room on larger screens for supporting detail.
This approach handles the real range of devices: phones, tablets, laptops, ultrawide monitors, and the widths in between that fixed breakpoints tend to miss. Performance is part of the same work, since loading behaviour and layout stability affect both search ranking and whether people stay.
Adaptive work also covers the unglamorous parts: image sizes that match the screen, fonts that load without a visible jump, and components that hold together when a headline runs longer than expected in translation or in a CMS edit.
Where the widths get decided
Rather than four fixed breakpoints, the layout is tested against real devices and the awkward widths between them. If something only holds together at exactly 768 pixels, it is not finished.
- Content order agreed on a phone screen first.
- Larger screens earn supporting detail, not stretched text.
- Load behaviour and layout stability reviewed as part of the work.
Platform selection as a service
Choosing between WordPress, a headless CMS like Contentful, BigCommerce, Shopify, Framer, or a custom build is a decision with long consequences. We run that comparison with you against concrete criteria: who will publish content, how often, whether content needs to reach multiple channels, how complex pricing and shipping are, and what your team can maintain.
Headless setups add real flexibility and real complexity, so we only recommend one when the multi-channel requirement justifies it. You get a recommendation with reasoning, not a preference.
| Platform path | Usually fits | What we check first |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | Marketing sites with a small publishing team | Who edits, how often, and what plugins already carry the site |
| Headless CMS | Content that has to reach several channels or apps | Whether the multi-channel need is real, and who maintains the stack |
| BigCommerce or Shopify | Stores with a defined catalogue and standard checkout | Variant count, shipping zones, and payment methods you can process |
| Framer or custom build | Design-led sites, or workflows no standard platform handles | How much bespoke logic is genuinely needed versus what a platform already does |
Integrations and back-office connections
A website that does not talk to your CRM, accounting, or fulfilment systems creates manual work every day. We scope integrations explicitly: which system, which direction, which fields, what happens when a call fails.
Where a system has no usable API, we will say so before the build rather than after. Integration scoping is where most project surprises are prevented.
| Connection | Direction | What it settles |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiries into a sales pipeline | Site to CRM | Which fields travel, who owns the record, and how a failed push is retried. |
| Orders to fulfilment | Store to warehouse | Order, variant and address fields, plus what the warehouse sends back. |
| Payment providers | Both ways | PayNow, card payments through a provider, or invoice and bank transfer, matched to what your team can reconcile. |
| Accounting and reporting | Store to ledger | How transactions are grouped, and what the finance team needs to see. |
Content and migration
Moving from an old site is often the largest piece of hidden work. We inventory existing pages, decide what carries over, what gets rewritten, and what gets retired. Redirects are mapped so search visibility is not lost on launch day.
If your team will manage content after handover, we set up the editing workflow and walk you through it. For headless setups, that includes explaining how content moves from the CMS to the live site, so nobody has to guess which pane they are editing in.
What a migration inventory covers
- PagesWhich URLs carry real traffic, which duplicate each other, and which can be retired.
- CopyWhat is rewritten from scratch, what is edited, and what is left untouched.
- RedirectsThe old-to-new map prepared before launch day so nothing is discovered late.
- HandoverThe editing workflow your team will actually use once we step back.
Accessibility and compliance requirements
Accessibility has shifted from a design preference to a procurement checkbox in many organisations. We plan against WCAG as the working standard and can reference Section 508 where a U.S. federal requirement appears in a client or partner checklist.
That means semantic markup, keyboard navigation, contrast decisions, and alt text discipline from the start. Retrofitting accessibility onto a finished site costs more than building it in, so it belongs in the design phase rather than in a cleanup sprint after launch.
If your procurement team has its own checklist, send it over at the start. Working to a specific list from day one is easier than defending a finished build against it later.
What we do not do
We are not a logo design studio, a print agency, or a social media manager. We do not sell template licences as a service, and we do not promise a specific search ranking.
We also do not take on projects without a decision-maker available on the client side, because that is the most common cause of stalled builds. Being clear about the boundary saves both sides time.
How to judge whether we fit
If your project involves a site that has to do something specific, connects to systems you already use, and has a business owner who can make calls, we are likely a good fit.
If you need a minimal brochure site at the lowest possible price, a template service will serve you better and we will say so. The fastest way to find out is a short conversation with concrete details about your requirements.
Can you redesign an existing site without rebuilding everything?
Often yes. If the platform and structure are sound, we can rework the design, improve performance, and fix content without a full migration. We assess the existing build before recommending either path.
Do you write the content?
We can structure content, write it, or work with yours. What we will not do is design around placeholder text, because layouts built that way tend to break when real copy arrives.
What payment methods can an ecommerce build support?
We implement what your business can fulfil: PayNow, card payments through a provider like Stripe, invoice and bank transfer, or cash on delivery where that suits your operation. We do not add options your team cannot process.
Tell us what the site has to do
Bring the operational details — product counts, systems you already run, who signs off, and any procurement checklist you have been handed. That is usually enough for a first conversation about scope and fit.
