eCommerce development services
A store that's easy to run and built to sell.
Whether you need a Shopify or WooCommerce store launched properly, an existing store migrated without losing years of search rankings, or something custom for a catalogue that's outgrown either — we scope it honestly, build it on the platform that actually fits, and get payments, shipping and tax right from day one.
- Stores from $4,900
- Live in 5–8 weeks
- Migrated without losing your rankings
Three reasons people come to us for a store.
You've outgrown a DIY store builder.
It was fine at twenty products. At two hundred, with real customers checking out, the cracks in a drag-and-drop builder start to show.
You're moving platforms and don't want to lose rankings.
Years of search visibility can vanish in a careless migration. You want someone who's done this before and can prove it.
Your catalogue or margins need something custom.
A complex product configurator, unusual pricing logic or a storefront fast enough to matter — off-the-shelf can't quite get there.
An honest comparison, not a sales pitch.
| Decision factor | Shopify | WooCommerce |
|---|---|---|
| Running the store day to day | Simpler — one dashboard, updates handled for you | More flexible, but updates and plugins need managing |
| Content and store together | Workable, but content is secondary to the store | Strong — it's WordPress, so content and store share one system |
| Total monthly cost | Platform fee plus apps — predictable, adds up with extensions | Hosting plus plugins — can be cheaper, less predictable |
| Custom control | Good within Shopify's rules; some things need a workaround | Full control of code and data — and full responsibility for it |
We recommend in writing; you decide. The right platform depends on your catalogue, your team and how you already work — not on which one we’d rather build.
Everything a store needs to convert, not just launch.
- Product catalogue set up and organised for how people shop
- Payments configured — Stripe, PayPal and Klarna
- US sales tax and UK VAT set up correctly for where you sell
- Shipping rules and rates configured
- Fast-loading product pages
- A clean, distraction-free checkout
- Abandoned-cart email flows switched on from day one
- 30 days of support after launch
From catalogue to checkout in 5–8 weeks.
Scope
Catalogue size, margins and how you want to run the store day to day decide the platform. You get the recommendation in writing, not a preference.
Design
Home, category, product and checkout templates, designed around how people actually shop your catalogue.
Build
Store built, products loaded, payments and tax configured. If you're migrating, customer and order history moves across in parallel.
Test & launch
Real payment runs, tax checks, speed testing, then a cutover timed around your traffic and 30 days of support after.
Typical timeline: 5–8 weeks from kickoff to launch, migrations included.
Scope it to what you need now.
For a first store that just needs to work.
- Shopify or WooCommerce, built properly
- Up to 100 products loaded and organised
- Payments, shipping and tax configured
- 30 days of support after launch
Typically, for a custom-designed store with a migration behind it.
- Custom design — not a theme
- Full migration from your current platform
- Integrations — inventory, email, reviews
- Abandoned-cart and lifecycle email flows
- Speed and Core Web Vitals work
For catalogues and logic that off-the-shelf can't handle.
- Headless storefront on Next.js
- Built for large or complex catalogues
- Custom checkout logic where it's needed
- Dedicated team available
Ongoing platform costs: Shopify’s subscription and transaction fees, or WooCommerce’s hosting and plugin licences, are separate from build cost — we’ll show you real numbers for your catalogue before you decide. See Pricing & Engagement →
Move platforms without losing what you've built.
Every migration is really a search-ranking project wearing a technical disguise. We treat it that way.
- Every existing URL mapped and 301-redirected to its new address
- Products, customers and order history moved across in full
- Rankings and backlinks monitored for a month after cutover, with fixes made fast if anything slips
- A cutover window planned around your traffic, not ours
