E-commerce solutions

We design the storefront, cart, and checkout around what you sell, then connect them to your stock, payments, and delivery.

Outcomes

What changes

  • More carts reach the end

    Short steps, delivery costs shown early, and the payment options your buyers expect leave fewer reasons to stop.

  • Products are easy to find

    Search, filters, and product pages follow the way your customers actually choose.

  • Stock and orders stay in step

    A sale updates stock and reaches fulfilment on its own, so nobody retypes orders or sells what has run out.

  • Buyers come back

    Accounts, quick reorders, and clear order emails make the second purchase easier than the first.

Process

How it runs

  1. Map

    We go through what you sell, how orders are fulfilled today, and where buyers drop out.

  2. Design

    Product pages, cart, and checkout are designed first for phones. You review each step before any code.

  3. Build

    We set up the catalogue, payments, and shipping in short rounds, placing test orders from start to finish.

  4. Launch

    We check live payments, emails, and redirects, go live, then show your team how to run the store.

Questions

Worth asking

Which platform should we use?

It depends on your catalogue, your team, and how much your checkout differs from the norm. A hosted platform such as Shopify suits many stores, WooCommerce can fit if you already run WordPress, and a custom build makes sense when your rules will not fit either. We compare the options and explain what we would choose and why.

Can you move our existing store?

Yes. We move products, customers, and order history wherever the platforms allow it, and redirect old links to their new pages. We rehearse the move on a copy first, so the live store keeps trading until the switch.

Who handles card details?

A licensed payment provider does. Card details are entered on the provider's secure form and never stored on your site. We help you choose a provider, set it up, and test it, including refunds and failed payments.

Can you improve our store without rebuilding it?

Often, yes. We review the path from product page to order confirmation, then fix what costs you the most, whether that is speed, a confusing step, or a manual job behind the scenes. We only suggest a rebuild if the platform itself is what holds you back.
