What eMagine Solutions does

eMagine Solutions Inc. is a privately held software and web development company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Castries, Saint Lucia, operating with a 12-person team. The company runs two parallel lines of business: enterprise software development for Caribbean governments, banks, and large organizations (including MRV climate change systems, government procurement platforms, and regulatory portals for entities such as the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the Bank of Saint Lucia, FSRA, and the governments of St Kitts & Nevis, St Vincent, Saint Lucia, and Eswatini); and custom web design and development for small and medium businesses and individuals, built primarily on WordPress, CakePHP, Webflow, and static HTML. Beyond bespoke builds, the company sells its own productized offerings — most notably Shopfront, a Caribbean e-commerce marketplace at shopfront.store — alongside Gateway Pages landing templates, Real Estate Micro Website Themes, and a QR Code Menu subscription, all priced to create recurring revenue from Caribbean SMBs.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project fees (Simple Website from $1,799, Dynamic Application from $3,499, negotiated enterprise contracts), recurring subscriptions (Gateway Pages $399/yr after first year, WordPress Web Assist Plan $450/mo, SEO services from $2,500/mo, hosting/maintenance packages, QR Code Menu $50/mo), and transactional revenue from Shopfront. The company sells directly through its website 'Start a Project' form (enterprise) and phone/email inside sales (SMB), with no disclosed channel partners or resellers. ISO 9001:2015 certification serves as its primary external quality credential. Geographic reach spans Saint Lucia, the wider OECS Caribbean (St Kitts, St Vincent, Dominica), and project-based engagements in the USA, Ireland, and Eswatini; however, all delivery is centralized from the Saint Lucia headquarters.

The operating model is services-led with selective productization: enterprise contracts are negotiated by the CEO, SMB work goes through inside sales, and the team is small enough that any single large contract would materially move revenue. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no parent company — the business has grown organically over 14 years. Customer logos skew heavily toward government and financial institutions across the Eastern Caribbean, with secondary exposure to retail (Massy Stores, M&C) and US-based technology partner Codon. Tech stack is conventional open-source web (WordPress, CakePHP, Webflow) rather than proprietary technology, and AI is mentioned only generically in marketing copy rather than as a named product capability.
