Building high-performance storefronts
Our mission is to build smooth, convenient and profitable digital commerce experiences for consumer-centric merchants & retailers.
Learn about Front-Commerce
Front-Commerce started in an agency, Occitech, in 2015. This innovative e-commerce frontend solution was designed and developed by its founders, Etienne & Pierre, from 2016 to 2018, during which time the first projects went live. Since then, it’s gotten a lot of traction! In January 2020, we split the Front-Commerce product team from the agency team and it became a fully independent company.
We’re building a product for people who care about other people. We value everyone involved in the projects we lead: developers, merchants, marketing… and of course the final user.
As a bootstrapped startup, we grew steadily and with happy customers. Over the next year our tech, sales and marketing teams will grow following a successful seed round of financing. We are a distributed team, with members working remotely from Toulouse and Lyon, Paris & Nantes (France – UTC +1). We welcome collaborators from any location. We’ll post our vacancies here as and when they open!
