About this list
"E-commerce" in the public sector means transactional citizen services — paying a fee or fine, buying a permit or licence, booking a public appointment, or a museum's ticketing and shop — not consumer retail. AREA 17 documents work for cultural institutions (the Opéra National de Paris, the Fondation Cartier); Fabrique evidences the Rijksmuseum's public-facing platforms; Sketchin documents transactional work for Italian public bodies (INPS, Sogei).
Rates run €60–199 per hour.
The competence is a citizen transaction that has to work first time, for everyone, under accessibility law — a different bar from a retail funnel optimized for conversion. A permit payment or a fine can't A/B its way past an excluded user — read each profile's documented public-sector engagements and editorial review for genuine transactional-service work, and pair the e-commerce evidence with the accessibility and service-design records.
Expert Insight
Why E-commerce experience matters
Conversion is the only metric—If it doesn't sell, it's bad design. Specialists ignore 'trends' that hurt conversion (like scrolljacking and autoplay video) and double down on patterns that drive revenue: persistent carts, guest checkout, and trust signals placed exactly where purchase anxiety peaks. They've A/B tested enough to know what actually works vs. what just looks good
Platform constraints—Shopify and Magento have rigid template structures. A generalist designs a 'dream UI' that costs €50,000 to implement as custom development; a specialist designs a 'feasible UI' that ships next week within the platform's native capabilities. Ask any candidate agency to name three Shopify Liquid limitations—if they can't, they'll burn your budget on impossible designs
Mobile checkout reality—70% of traffic is mobile, but conversion is 50% lower than desktop. Specialists know specifically how to close that gap: native keyboards for form fields, auto-fill for addresses, wallet payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay) as the primary CTA, and progress indicators that reduce abandonment. Each fix is small; together they can double mobile conversion
Average Order Value (AOV) mechanics—It's not just about buying; it's about buying more. Specialists build cross-sell and upsell flows that feel helpful, not annoying—product bundles on the cart page, 'frequently bought together' modules timed to the right moment, and free shipping thresholds that nudge the average order up by 15–25%
