WooCommerce development in Cologne
A self-hosted store in Cologne carries one requirement that decides most of the technical shape of the build: drinks retailers selling in returnable containers. Nobody else is responsible for it, which is the trade WooCommerce asks you to make in exchange for control.

Drinks retailers selling in returnable containers
Sizing follows the requirement.
A store like this spends its capacity on work that cannot be cached, so the useful measurement is what happens under concurrent checkouts rather than what the site looks like on a quiet Tuesday morning. The Cologne businesses this describes are usually food producers selling direct to consumers, concentrated around Deutz and the trade fair district, and working in insurance. That combination is what makes the requirement above worth naming before a brief is written rather than after. Ongoing ownership is the condition for the whole approach. A WooCommerce store rewards attention and punishes neglect faster than a hosted one, so the maintenance arrangement is part of the build decision rather than a question for later. The requirement is what justifies self-hosting at all. drinks retailers selling in returnable containers is the kind of thing a hosted platform will not do, and if it were not there we would be recommending Shopify to a Cologne business rather than a server that somebody now has to look after.
We have no office in Cologne. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

WooCommerce development questions from Cologne
Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.
Who hosts the store?
You do, in your own account, and that is deliberate. A Cologne business should hold its own hosting, domain and credentials so that changing developer is an inconvenience rather than a migration. We will recommend and configure, and the account stays in your name throughout.
What happens if we stop working with you?
Nothing breaks. The code is yours, the hosting is in your name, the integrations are documented, and another developer can read what is there. Building something only we could maintain would make us harder to replace, which is not an arrangement worth having on either side. It is the same answer we would give a Cologne business as any other.
Can you take over an existing WooCommerce store?
Frequently, and the first piece of work is an audit rather than a change. What is installed, what has been edited directly, what is out of date and what nobody can explain. For most Cologne stores that audit is more valuable than the first month of development that follows it.
