These are common pitfalls we've seen across hundreds of projects
Magento needs Varnish, Redis, Elasticsearch, and a Magento-certified dev. Shopify does the same job for a fraction of the cost at that scale.
Copywriting, product photography, and video are almost never included in dev quotes. Clients discover this after signing. It delays launches by 3–6 weeks.
Every ERP, CRM, or shipping API has undocumented edge cases, auth quirks, and sandbox-vs-production differences. "It's just an API" is the most expensive sentence in software.
WordPress and WooCommerce sites without active updates get compromised within 12 months on average. One cleanup + recovery costs more than 2 years of maintenance.
Rush work means overtime, parallel workstreams, and shortcuts. Developers charge a premium and mistakes increase. A 6-week project done in 3 weeks doesn't cost the same.
301 redirects from old to new URLs are not optional — they're the difference between keeping your rankings and starting from zero. This is regularly skipped to save $400.
Without a defined revision scope, every stakeholder adds requests indefinitely. Projects with unlimited revisions average 1.6× their original timeline and 1.4× their original cost.

“Finally, a tool that gives realistic estimates instead of guesses. It caught two major cost issues we would have missed — saved us about $4,000 on a Shopify migration.”
