B2B has changed. Has your website kept up?

Today’s B2B buyers expect more than brochures and cold calls. They want the same seamless, omnichannel experience they get as consumers—researching online, engaging across digital touchpoints, and connecting in person when it matters most.

The challenge? Many B2B brands are stuck with websites that can’t keep pace with this digital shift. That’s why so many are asking the big question:

👉 Should we invest in a ready-made platform like Salesforce or Shopify Plus—or build a custom solution tailored to our business?

In this webinar, Foster Commerce CEO Stephen Callender discusses five key questions to consider when evaluating custom builds vs. off-the-shelf solutions like Shopify Plus or BigCommerce.

By the end of the hour, you’ll have a general sense of when a custom build is a good idea and when it’s not. You’ll also have questions you can answer to feel more confident about the ideal path for you and your unique business.
