An online shop that actually sells, and someone still there afterwards.

Most shops fail on the boring parts — delivery rules nobody set up, a checkout that loses people on a phone, product pages Google can't find. We build it properly, train your staff, and hand you the keys or keep running it. Your choice.

Straight answer first

Is an online shop right for you yet?

Selling online costs more to build and more to run than a normal website. It is worth it when the numbers work and expensive when they don't, so here is the honest test.

Not yet

A normal site would serve you better

Plenty of businesses come asking for a shop when what they need is a good website with enquiry forms.

  • ✗You sell a service, quoted per job
  • ✗Under about ten products, all made to order
  • ✗You'd rather talk to people before they buy
  • ✗Nobody has time to pack and post orders
  • ✗Your margin can't absorb payment and delivery costs
Good fit

A shop will earn its keep

Where selling online genuinely adds a revenue line rather than a headache.

  • ✓You've a range people can buy without asking
  • ✓You're already selling on Facebook or eBay and want your own
  • ✓Your existing shop is slow, ugly or losing people at checkout
  • ✓You want trade and retail pricing in one place
  • ✓You're on a marketplace and tired of the commission

Not sure which you are? Tell us what you sell and we'll say honestly — we've talked plenty of people out of shops they didn't need.

What's included

What building an online shop with us involves

The design, and all the unglamorous configuration that decides whether a shop works or quietly loses you money.

01

The right platform for you

We build on Shopify or WooCommerce, and we'll tell you plainly which suits your range, your team and your budget.

  • ✓Shopify for most, simplest to run
  • ✓WooCommerce if you're already on WordPress
  • ✓Honest comparison before you commit
  • ✓Your account, in your name
  • ✓Migration from Etsy, eBay or Facebook
02

Products done properly

Each product gets a real page with its own title, description and structured data, so Google can find it on its own.

  • ✓Product pages written, not bulk imported
  • ✓Photography prepared and compressed
  • ✓Variants, sizes and options configured
  • ✓Categories that make sense to shoppers
  • ✓Schema so prices show in search
03

Payments and delivery

The part that quietly breaks most shops. Delivery rules and payment options set up and tested before anyone can order.

  • ✓Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay
  • ✓Delivery zones, weights and thresholds
  • ✓Click and collect if you want it
  • ✓Trade and wholesale pricing handled
  • ✓Test orders run end to end
04

Then we hand you the keys, or keep hold of them — your call

This is the bit that separates us from most shop builds. Plenty of agencies deliver a shop, invoice, and go quiet the moment something needs changing. We train your team properly before launch so you can run it yourself, and if you would rather not, we will keep running it. Neither option is a trap, and you can switch between them whenever you like.

  • ✓Staff trained before you go live
  • ✓Written guides for your common jobs
  • ✓Add products yourself in minutes
  • ✓Or send them over and we'll do it
  • ✓Someone who answers when something breaks
  • ✓No lock-in either way
05

Built to be found

A shop nobody finds is an expensive catalogue. SEO foundations go in during the build, same as every site we make.

  • ✓Clean URLs and category structure
  • ✓Titles and meta for every product
  • ✓Product and review schema
  • ✓Sitemap submitted on launch
  • ✓Search Console connected

Not ready for a whole shop?

Plenty of people start smaller. We build single product landing pages, buying guides and review pages that sell one thing well — a good way to test demand before committing to a full store.

What running it looks like

Orders in, packed, out. Nothing you cannot handle.

This is the screen your team will actually use. We set it up, configure the awkward parts and train you before launch — or keep running it ourselves.

What a shop usually needs next

Building the shop is the start. These are the things that actually bring people to it — add them when you're ready, not before.

Everything stays month to month. Nothing bundled, nothing that quietly renews.

Questions

Online shop questions, answered honestly

Shopify or WooCommerce — which should I pick?

Shopify for most people: it is simpler to run, payments and delivery are easier to configure, and there is less to go wrong. WooCommerce if you already have a WordPress site your team knows, or if you need unusual pricing rules. We will give you a straight recommendation for your range rather than pushing whichever we prefer.

Can I run it myself afterwards?

Yes, and we train your team before launch so you genuinely can. You get written guides for the jobs you will actually do — adding a product, changing a price, refunding an order. If you would rather we did it, we will, but it will never be because you were not shown how.

Do you disappear after the build?

No, and it is the most common complaint we hear about other agencies. You can put the shop on a care plan, or just ring us when you need something. Either way the person who built it is still the person who answers.

What about the platform fees?

Shopify charge a monthly fee and a transaction cost, paid directly by you in your own account. WooCommerce is free but needs hosting. We never mark either up and never hold the account in our name.

I'm already selling on Etsy, eBay or Facebook. Worth moving?

Usually yes, once the commission is costing you more than a site would. Marketplaces are good for discovery and poor for margin and customer relationships. Most people keep both for a while, which is sensible.

My current shop is slow and nobody buys. Rebuild or fix?

Depends what is wrong. If the theme is bloated and the checkout loses people on mobile, rebuilding usually costs less than patching. Send it over and we will tell you which, honestly, before you spend anything.

How long does it take?

Fifteen working days for a Starter shop from the point we have your product data and photos. Larger ranges take longer, mostly because product content takes time — we will give you a date before we start.
