Is Your Store Leaking Revenue? 📉

Escape the "Shopify Tax"

Hosted platforms like Shopify charge a monthly fee plus a percentage of every sale, so the more you grow, the more they take. We build your ecommerce website on WordPress / WooCommerce, the world’s most widely used open-source store platform. You pay for hosting, not a tax on your success, and you own the code, the customer data and the profit.

Speed Sells

Amazon found that every 100ms of delay can cost 1 percent in sales. Most off-the-shelf themes are bloated and slow. We build performance-first ecommerce websites, stripping out unnecessary code and using server-side caching so product pages load instantly, bounce rates drop and more customers reach the checkout.

Frictionless Checkout Flows

Technical SEO for Products

Ranking a product page is different from ranking a blog. We implement technical SEO including product schema markup for price, availability and reviews so your items can appear as rich results in Google search and Shopping. We structure your category hierarchy to capture high-intent searches such as “men’s waterproof running jacket” rather than just “jackets”.

Built to Increase Basket Value

Upsell architecture

We do not just list products, we engineer larger orders. We build “frequently bought together” and “you may also like” logic directly into the product page, increasing your average order value without spending another penny on ads.

Mobile-First Retail

More than 70 percent of ecommerce traffic is mobile, so we design for the thumb. Add-to-cart buttons stay within easy reach, product galleries are swipeable and filters are simple to use on a small screen, removing the friction that kills mobile sales.

Total Inventory Control

Stop wrestling with spreadsheets. We integrate intuitive inventory management so you can track stock, manage variations such as size and colour, and automate low-stock alerts. Whether you sell 10 products or 10,000, you have full visibility of your warehouse from one dashboard.

No vendor lock-in

You own the asset. Unlike Shopify or Wix, where you lose your store the moment you stop paying, your WooCommerce ecommerce website belongs to you. You can change hosts, change developers or sell the business without restriction. We build assets, not liabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which platform is better: Shopify or WooCommerce?

It depends on your business model. WooCommerce, built on WordPress, is best if you want full control, lower monthly costs and deep customisation, because it is open-source and you own the code. Shopify suits businesses that want a hands-off, hosted experience and have budget for monthly app fees. We are experts in both and will recommend the platform that scales best for your inventory, skills and budget.

How much does an ecommerce website cost in the UK?

Our ecommerce web design packages start from £799 +VAT for up to 20 products, with fixed pricing and no hidden fees. Larger and bespoke builds are quoted on scope. Costs across the UK market vary widely depending on products, platform and custom features. For a full breakdown, see our guide to ecommerce website design costs in the UK.

Do you help with product migration? We have thousands of SKUs.

Yes. Re-uploading thousands of products by hand is a nightmare, so we use automated migration tools to transfer your product data (titles, descriptions, images, prices and SKUs) from your old platform, whether that is Magento, Wix or an older WooCommerce site. Where possible we also migrate customer data and order history, so you keep your business intelligence.

How do you reduce cart abandonment?

We design your checkout to be frictionless, with guest checkout so users do not have to create an account, address lookup to speed up typing and clear trust signals such as payment logos and security badges at the payment moment. We can also set up abandoned-cart emails that automatically follow up with customers who leave before paying, recovering otherwise lost revenue.

Can you integrate with our shipping and accounts software?

Yes. Your ecommerce website should not exist in a vacuum. We integrate with accounts software (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks), shipping (Royal Mail Click & Drop, DPD, ShipStation) and inventory systems (Linnworks, Veeqo), so that when you make a sale the invoice is generated, stock is reduced and the shipping label is ready automatically.

Will my products show in Google Shopping?

Yes. To run Google Shopping, your product data must meet strict criteria. We make sure your product feeds are clean, with correct GTIN/EAN data, high-resolution images and structured attributes such as colour and size, so your products are approved by Google Merchant Center and you can start advertising sooner.

Will the site be fast?

Speed is both a ranking factor and a conversion factor. We build lightweight themes and use server-side caching and image compression so product pages load quickly, and we aim for strong Google Core Web Vitals scores to give you the best chance of ranking organically.

Do you support B2B and wholesale ecommerce?

Yes. We can build trade portals within your main store, hiding wholesale prices from the public so trade customers log in to see tiered or bulk pricing. You can run B2C and B2B from a single dashboard, which keeps inventory management simple.
