We build ecommerce because we live it
Most agencies have never run a store. We do — we build, operate and grow our own UK ecommerce sites, handling everything from product pages and Core Web Vitals to checkout conversion, marketplace feeds and SEO. That means your store is built by people who understand stock, fulfilment, abandoned carts and the real maths of selling online — not just how to make it look nice.
What every store we build includes
Built to convert
Conversion-focused design — clear product pages, trust signals, fast checkout and reduced cart abandonment. A pretty store that does not sell is a failure.
Fast Core Web Vitals
Speed is revenue. We build for sub-2.5s loads on mobile, because every second of delay costs you conversions and Google rankings.
SEO-ready from day one
Clean structure, product + breadcrumb + review schema, optimised collection pages and internal linking — so you rank, not just exist.
Payments & integrations
Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Apple/Google Pay, plus shipping, accounting, ERP and marketplace (Amazon/eBay) feeds wired in.
Mobile-first
Most ecommerce traffic is mobile. Every store is designed and tested mobile-first, with a checkout that works on a thumb.
Secure & GDPR-ready
SSL, secure payment handling, UK/EU data practices and a privacy setup that keeps you compliant.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or custom — the right fit for you
We're platform-agnostic. We recommend what suits your products, budget and team — then build it properly.
Shopify
Fast to launch, low-maintenance, fully hosted. Our default for most retailers.
WooCommerce
Total ownership and flexibility on WordPress. Best when content + SEO lead.
Magento / Adobe Commerce
Large, complex catalogues and B2B requirements.
Custom / headless
Bespoke storefronts (Next.js) when you have outgrown the templates.
A beautiful store nobody finds is just an expense
We're an ecommerce SEO agency as much as a design studio. Beyond the build, we grow your organic revenue: category and product keyword strategy, technical SEO, schema, content, and link building — so you stop relying on paid ads for every sale.
- Category + product keyword and content strategy
- Technical SEO: speed, crawlability, structured data
- Marketplace + Google Shopping feed optimisation
- Ongoing campaigns that compound month over month
Ecommerce Web Design FAQs
How much does ecommerce web design cost?
A professional ecommerce website in the UK typically ranges from £1,500 for a well-built Shopify or WooCommerce store to £10,000+ for a large custom catalogue with bespoke features and integrations. The biggest factors are the number of products, the platform, custom design vs theme, and integrations (payments, ERP, shipping, marketplaces). We give a fixed quote up front — no surprises — and offer pay-monthly options.
Shopify or WooCommerce — which is right for me?
Shopify is fastest to launch, fully hosted, and brilliant for most retailers — low maintenance, great checkout, huge app ecosystem. WooCommerce (on WordPress) gives you total ownership and flexibility, no per-sale platform fees, and is ideal if content/SEO is central or you need custom logic. We build expertly on both (and Magento for large catalogues) and recommend the right fit for your products and team — not whatever we prefer.
Do you also do ecommerce SEO?
Yes — and it is built in, not bolted on. Every store we build is engineered for SEO from day one: fast Core Web Vitals, clean URL and category structure, product + breadcrumb + review schema, optimised collection pages, and internal linking. We also run ongoing ecommerce SEO campaigns — keyword and category strategy, content, technical fixes and link building — to grow organic revenue after launch.
Do you actually run ecommerce stores yourselves?
We do — which is unusual for an agency. We build, run and grow our own online stores, so we know ecommerce from the operator side: stock, fulfilment, conversion rate, abandoned carts, returns, marketplace feeds and the real economics of getting found and selling online. You get a partner who has felt the same pressures you have, not just a design studio.
How long does an ecommerce website take to build?
A focused Shopify or WooCommerce store is usually live in 3–6 weeks; larger custom catalogues with integrations take 8–12 weeks. We work in stages with you — strategy, design, build, content/products, test, launch — so you always know where the project is. Migrations from an existing store (preserving SEO with proper redirects) are planned carefully to avoid traffic loss.
Can you migrate my existing store without losing rankings?
Yes. Replatforming or redesigning an established store is high-risk for SEO if done badly. We map every URL, implement 301 redirects, preserve metadata and schema, and keep your category structure intelligible to Google — so you keep (and usually grow) your organic traffic through the move.
