E-commerce · WooCommerce

E-commerce web design that turns browsers into buyers.

We build WooCommerce online stores for businesses across Swadlincote, Burton, Derby and the East Midlands — fast, secure and set up to handle the unglamorous details that make a shop actually work: payments, postage, VAT, stock and everything in between.

What's included

Online store features that earn their keep.

Every e-commerce website we build is a bespoke WooCommerce store on WordPress — no rented platforms, no monthly ransom, and you own all of it. These are the things we sweat so you don't have to.

Payments done properly

Card payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal and Klarna via trusted gateways like Stripe — set up, tested and PCI-aware from day one.

Delivery & click-and-collect

Postcode-based delivery rules, weight and price bands, free-over thresholds, and click-and-collect for local customers.

VAT & trade pricing

VAT-inclusive or exclusive display, trade and retail price tiers, and account-only pricing for wholesale customers.

Products you can manage

Variations, stock levels, categories and sale prices — all editable by you, with training before launch so it isn't a mystery.

Built to be found

Clean structure, fast load times and product pages set up for search from the start — and our SEO service can take it further.

Checkout that converts

Short, distraction-free checkout flows, guest checkout, and abandoned-basket recovery — because a full basket isn't a sale.

How it works

From first chat to first order.

Scope

We sit down (in person if you're local) and map what you sell, how you deliver, and what the store needs to do. You get a fixed quote — no surprises later.

Design & build

We design around your brand and build the store in-house — products, payments, postage and tax rules included, not bolted on afterwards.

Test & train

Real test orders through the real checkout, on real phones. Then we show you how to manage products and orders yourself.

Launch & support

We launch, monitor, and stay on the end of the phone. Our managed hosting keeps it fast, backed up and secure.

Good questions

E-commerce questions we're asked most.

Why WooCommerce rather than Shopify or Wix?

With WooCommerce you own the store outright — no monthly platform fee that rises every year, no per-transaction platform cut, and no limits on how the shop works. It runs on WordPress, so the rest of your site and your store live in one place you control. Hosted platforms suit some businesses, and we'll tell you honestly if that's you — but for most local businesses, owning the asset wins long-term.

Can you move my existing shop over without losing orders or rankings?

Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history, and map every old product and category URL to its new home with proper redirects so the search rankings you've earned carry across. Migrations are planned so the old store keeps trading until the new one is ready.

How much does an e-commerce website cost?

It depends on the size of the catalogue and what the store needs to do — delivery rules, trade pricing and integrations all shape the work. Every store is quoted individually and fixed before we start. Tell us what you sell and we'll give you a straight answer.

Will I be able to add products and process orders myself?

Yes — that's the point. WooCommerce gives you a clear dashboard for products, stock, prices and orders, and we train you on it before launch. If you'd rather hand it all to us, our care plans cover product updates too.

Ready to start selling online?

Tell us what you sell and where you want to take it. We'll come back within one working day with honest advice and a fixed quote — no pushy sales call, no jargon.
