1 — The business model of e-commerce agencies is under pressure
The problem for web agencies in 2026 is not the lack of customers. It is The explosion of production costs in the face of increasingly constrained selling prices.
1.1: E-commerce developers who cannot be found or are out of budget
Recruiting a good Shopify or PrestaShop developer has become extremely complicated:
- rare profiles
- high salary expectations
- little stability
For many agencies, internal recruitment is simply no longer profitable.
1.2: The use of freelancers weakens production
To absorb the load, many agencies rely on freelancers.
But this model quickly shows its limits:
- unequal quality
- dependence on external profiles
- lack of standardization
- Difficulty meeting deadlines
In the medium term, this degrades the quality of deliveries... and the reputation of the agency.
1.3: Shopify and PrestaShop require real technical rigor
Contrary to popular belief, Shopify and PrestaShop are demanding:
- performance
- security
- SEO
- scalability
Poor implementation generates technical debt, which the agency ends up paying for support, after-sales service and uninvoiced redesigns.
