Ecommerce website development

Online stores built to sell, not just to look good

We build and improve Shopify and WooCommerce stores for growing brands and retailers: fast product pages, a checkout without friction and stock that stays in sync with the rest of your business.

Why online stores lose sales they've already earned

Most online stores don't have a traffic problem. They have a checkout problem. Shoppers find a product, add it to the cart and then leave when shipping costs appear late, the form asks for too much, or the page is slow on their phone.

Behind the scenes it's often just as messy: stock levels that don't match the shop floor, orders typed into the accounting system by hand, and a theme nobody dares to touch.

Our ecommerce website development fixes both sides: a store that makes buying easy, and systems that keep products, stock and orders in sync without extra work.

Sound familiar?

  • Shoppers add to cart, then leave at checkout.
  • Stock levels online and in store never match.
  • Your theme is slow and hard to change.

What every store we build includes

  • Store design

    Home, collection, product and cart pages designed to make buying easy on any screen.

  • Shopify and WooCommerce builds

    New stores, custom themes and careful migrations from other platforms.

  • A checkout that converts

    Fewer steps, shipping costs shown early and the payment options your customers trust.

  • Product pages that sell

    Clear photos, variants, reviews and answers to the questions that stop people buying.

  • Inventory and ERP sync

    Stock, orders and customers kept in sync with your other systems.

  • Ecommerce SEO

    Product structured data, clean URLs and category content that help products rank.

  • Email and retention

    Abandoned cart, welcome and post-purchase emails set up from day one.

  • Accurate analytics

    Revenue, conversion rate and average order value tracked correctly.

Which online store fits your business

Three common starting points. We'll recommend one once we've seen your catalogue and how you sell today.

  • Launch

    New Shopify store

    A fast, well-designed Shopify store for brands selling online for the first time or outgrowing a marketplace.

  • Grow

    Redesign or migration

    Move from an old platform or theme to Shopify or WooCommerce, keeping your products, customers, orders and search rankings.

  • Custom

    Custom ecommerce build

    Wholesale portals, product configurators, subscriptions or a headless storefront connected to your ERP and inventory.

Every option is quoted at a fixed price after a free call, with the scope in writing.

How your store project runs

  1. 30–45 minutes

    Discovery call

    We look at your products, how you sell today and the systems you use, then recommend a platform and scope.

  2. About 48 hours

    Store plan and fixed price

    Catalogue structure, key pages, integrations and a fixed-price proposal.

  3. 4–8 weeks

    Design, build and data

    We design the store, build it, import products and connect payments, shipping and stock. You test orders before launch.

  4. Launch week

    Launch and handover

    Go-live with redirects in place, tracking checked and a walkthrough on managing products, orders and discounts.

What we build with

We build most stores on Shopify: it's reliable, secure and easy for your team to run day to day. WooCommerce is the better fit when you already run WordPress or need deeper control over how the store works.

For larger catalogues or B2B selling we connect the store to your inventory, ERP and accounting tools, or build a custom sync where no ready-made connection exists.

Tools we use

  • Shopify
  • WooCommerce
  • Stripe
  • PayPal
  • Klaviyo
  • Google Merchant Center

What to look for in an ecommerce agency

Five questions worth asking before anyone builds your store.

  • Platform advice without bias

    They should explain why Shopify or WooCommerce suits you, not sell the only one they know.

  • A migration plan

    Products, customers, orders and URL redirects mapped before the old store is switched off.

  • Checkout and speed focus

    Ask how they'll reduce cart abandonment and keep product pages fast on mobile.

  • Clean tracking

    Revenue, conversion rate and average order value measured correctly from day one.

  • You own the store

    The store account, payment provider and domain are in your name.

What you bring to the project

  • Product data

    Your catalogue in a spreadsheet or current platform. We'll help clean it up.

  • Product photos

    Clear, consistent product images sell more than any design trick.

  • Shipping and returns rules

    Rates, regions and policies, so the checkout shows costs early.

  • Access

    Logins for your current store, payment provider and stock system.

After launch

Once the store is live we can keep improving it: testing product pages and checkout, adding apps carefully, and keeping themes and plugins up to date.

Monthly reports show revenue, conversion rate and average order value, with the next changes we recommend.

Frequently asked questions

Shopify or WooCommerce: which is right for me?

Shopify suits most retailers who want a reliable store with little maintenance. WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress or needing deep customisation. We recommend one after looking at your catalogue and systems.

How much does an online store cost?

It depends on catalogue size, design and integrations. After a free call you get a fixed price with the scope in writing.

How long does it take to build an online store?

Most stores launch four to eight weeks after the plan is approved, depending on the number of products and integrations.

Can you migrate my existing store?

Yes. We move products, customers and order history and set up redirects so you keep your search rankings.

Do you connect stores to inventory and accounting systems?

Yes. We integrate with common inventory, ERP and accounting tools, or build a custom sync where needed.

Can you improve my current store instead of rebuilding it?

Often, yes. A focused audit of speed, product pages and checkout can lift sales without starting over.

Do I own the store?

Yes. The store account, payment provider and domain are all in your name.
