E-commerce Website

Shopify wins for ease, fast launch, and integrated payments — best if you don't want to think about hosting and you're under 200 SKUs. WooCommerce wins for cost (no transaction fees), customisation, and scale — best if you already use WordPress or need bespoke logic. We recommend the right one for you on the discovery call, not a default.

Custom Figma design, full store build, payment gateway setup (Stripe + PayPal + Apple Pay), 3 shipping zones, UK VAT rules, automated order + dispatch + abandoned-cart emails, up to 20 products loaded, GA4 + Meta Pixel tracking, and 30 days of post-launch support. Larger catalogues quoted separately.

2–4 weeks for a single product or focused store. 4–8 weeks for catalogue stores with 100+ products. We confirm the delivery date in writing when the project is signed off.

Not in-house — but we work regularly with trusted UK product photographers in London, Manchester and Brighton and can recommend one. If you have existing photos, we'll edit, retouch and crop them properly for the store.

Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna, Clearpay), PayPal, and any UK gateway you prefer (Worldpay, GoCardless for subscriptions). We configure the gateway, set up webhooks, and test live transactions with a real card before launch.

Yes — that's the whole point of the CMS. We give you a 30-minute walkthrough on handover, plus a written cheat-sheet covering adding products, editing prices, managing stock, and processing refunds.

Hosting is £20/month for managed UK WooCommerce hosting (or your existing Shopify subscription if Shopify). Includes SSL, daily off-site backups, security monitoring, automatic core + plugin updates, and a 99.9% uptime SLA.

We configure UK VAT, EU OSS/IOSS for cross-border sales (essential post-Brexit), and shipping zones for the regions you sell to. If you're shipping outside the UK, we handle the customs declaration setup too.

Built-in. We set up automated emails for order confirmation, dispatch notification, abandoned cart (24hr + 72hr nudge), and post-purchase review request. All branded to match your store, no generic system emails.

Yes — pair the build with our SEO, Google Ads, or Meta Ads management to actually drive traffic to your new store. Most clients bundle at least one marketing service from launch day so the store doesn't sit empty.
