Ecommerce Projects

Ecommerce Projects: how Cmsmart runs your project

Your ecommerce project, run like a corporate programme. Every Cmsmart build is scoped by an ecommerce consultant, priced in a written proposal, delivered in milestones you approve and pay for one at a time, and tracked in your own Cloodo Workplace dashboard — then supported and grown for years by the same team. Netbase JSC, since 2012.

How we run your project

The same WorkSuite-backed flow you see in your Cmsmart Dashboard, from first request to long-term growth.

Diagram: the Cmsmart project delivery lifecycle in six steps: discovery and scope, solution design, build in sprints, QA and UAT, launch, then support and growth, with continuous improvement looping back to discovery.
  1. Request Start from a quote request or a free trial.
  2. Consulting & scoping An Account Manager and a Business Analyst scope your business case before any code is written.
  3. Proposal & estimate A written scope and price, visible in your dashboard, before work starts.
  4. Kick-off Your project team is assigned and work begins.
  5. Milestones: design, build, test, launch Delivered and approved one phase at a time, invoiced as each milestone completes.
  6. Maintenance & growth Tickets, store health checks, updates and a sales & marketing milestone -- continuous collaboration that feeds back into scoping the next phase.

The same Cloodo WorkSuite records your project team works on, in your Cmsmart Dashboard.

Screens use fictional demo data; amounts are masked.

    Milestones

    Each milestone shows its status and due date, with the invoice it triggers on completion.

    Tasks & progress

    Your project card shows overall progress, synced from the tasks and milestones our team is working on.

  • Proposals grouped by project with status, totals and validity dates

  • Ticket conversation with project details in the Cmsmart dashboard

    Questions and change requests go through tickets, each in one thread, with the project shown beside it.

Payments protected, milestone by milestone

Payment terms follow the project agreement: nothing is billed beyond what a milestone confirms.
