For most mid-sized brands or marketplaces:

• Basic custom storefronts start around €30,000–€50,000
• Full-stack custom platforms (with ERP, warehouse, or CRM integrations) typically cost €70,000–€120,000
• High-complexity builds (multi-store, vendor portals, custom checkout flows) can exceed €150,000

Your cost depends on:

• Backend complexity
• Number of integrations
• Checkout and pricing logic
• Admin panel features
• Performance and SEO requirements

Because most brands want the quality of a US or EU agency — without the six-figure invoices.

Serbia offers:

• Senior full-stack engineers at $30–$75/hour
• Teams that understand UX, performance, and conversions — not just code
• Real-time collaboration (EU time zone)
• Solid English communication and cultural alignment
• A growing track record in headless commerce, marketplaces, and backend-heavy builds

Clients typically choose between:

• Country

  hourly rate

  Strengths

• Serbia

  $30–$75/hr

  ✅ Strong frontend + backend skill, startup-aware, efficient delivery

• India

  $15–$40/hr

  ⚠️ Lower cost, but often weaker in UI/UX and performance optimization

• Philippines

  $20–$45/hr

  ⚠️ Good for frontend/helpdesk, limited backend architecture experience

• Poland

  $50–$100/hr

  ✅ Great quality, better for funded brands or enterprise-level work

• US/Canada

  $100–€180/hr

  ✅ Top-tier work, but usually out of budget for early-stage or scaling brands

Serbia sits in the “sweet spot” — quality, speed, and communication, at a cost that still leaves room for growth and testing.

• Custom Shopify headless frontends
• Subscription platforms with Stripe or Chargebee
• Marketplaces with vendor dashboards and payouts
• B2B eCommerce with tiered pricing, quote flows, and account reps
• Order fulfillment automation tools linked to ERPs and logistics
• Custom admin dashboards for marketing, inventory, or content teams

If you need custom business logic + clean architecture + long-term scalability, it’s a great fit.

Yes, our team works closely with US and EU brands. We understand:

• Mobile-first UX for DTC and B2B
• Speed, Core Web Vitals, and SEO
• Cart abandonment flows, AOV optimization, and LTV modeling
• Accessibility and localization for global shoppers
• Integrating with platforms like Klaviyo, ReCharge, Shippo, and others

We speak eCommerce fluently, not just code.

Most clients save 40–60% compared to hiring US-based teams, with:

• No drop in quality
• Fewer time zone gaps compared to Asia
• Better UX and design thinking than many low-cost vendors

You’ll also reduce long-term cost by avoiding bloated architecture or poor scalability — which often happens with the cheapest-first approach.

Common risks:

• Poor communication → misunderstood features
• Bloated code → slow load times and SEO issues
• Rigid scope → painful change requests later

How we avoid that:

• Regular check-ins with your PM/lead
• Clear scoping with flexibility built in
• Performance and SEO testing built into QA
• Long-term support options, not just launch-and-vanish delivery

Yes — many Serbian developers have experience working with international brands, agencies, and fast-growing DTC startups.

What sets Serbia apart:

• Engineers fluent in backend logic, scalable infrastructure, and conversion-focused frontend
• Strong attention to UX, performance, and Core Web Vitals
• English fluency and Western-style project workflows

Most clients don’t just get cheaper development, they get smarter execution.

No. We adapt to you. Whether your team works in Notion, Jira, Slack, Trello, or email — we integrate seamlessly.

Our workflows support:

• Weekly sprint planning + demos
• Real-time updates in Slack or project tools
• Clear handoffs and written documentation
• Proactive feedback loops, not just task delivery

You’ll never feel like you’re “managing offshore” — it’ll feel like we’re in your building.

Not at all. English is standard in the Serbian tech scene, and most senior devs are fluent in written and spoken communication.

Timezone-wise:

• Serbia is CET (Central European Time)
• You get full overlap with Europe
• Partial overlap with US mornings (5–6 hours)

We structure our team for real-time syncs with product managers, founders, and stakeholders — no async-only setups unless preferred.
