Custom web & e-commerce
Use Shopify or WordPress when they fit. When the workflow is rental, multi-location booking, or a checkout that is not a cart, custom software is usually cheaper than fighting the platform.
When a standard platform is the wrong tool
- Inventory is time- and location-based (rentals), not simple SKUs
- Checkout needs steps a theme cannot express
- The catalog is a workflow, not a product grid
