Custom WooCommerce ecommerce web design – fast, scalable online shops built in WordPress.
Why owning your ecommerce website matters
We’re an ecommerce web design agency that creates bespoke online stores that are easy to use, simple to manage, and built to scale.
Owning your own ecommerce website gives you more control, healthier margins, and a stronger, more recognisable brand. Unlike third-party marketplaces, you keep your customer data, avoid extra selling fees, and shape a shopping experience without competitor distractions.
A dedicated online store can also improve your visibility in Google and unlock powerful marketing tools to attract and retain customers. With clear analytics, you can see what’s working, refine your approach, and make better decisions as you grow.
Most importantly, ecommerce website development becomes a long-term asset you own. It’s built around your goals – supporting your growth, not someone else’s platform.
Why we choose WooCommerce
WooCommerce is our preferred ecommerce platform for WordPress because it gives our clients the right mix of flexibility, reliability and long-term scalability. As a WooCommerce agency, we like that it sits seamlessly within WordPress — your design, content and CMS all live under one roof, with no separate systems to juggle.
WooCommerce also has a strong ecosystem of trusted extensions, which means we can tailor your store to fit the way you actually trade. Whether you need advanced product options, subscriptions, bookings, memberships, gift cards, multi-location stock or dynamic pricing, it can support both simple setups and more complex requirements – without forcing you into a rigid template.
And you stay in control. Unlike closed SaaS platforms, WooCommerce gives you ownership of your data and the freedom to scale without being locked into ongoing monthly fees. As a WooCommerce development agency, we pair that flexibility with custom theme development and performance optimisation to deliver fast, intuitive ecommerce stores you can manage with confidence.
Our WooCommerce design and build process
1
Discovery and understanding your business
We start by learning how you sell, who you sell to, and what success looks like for you. This gives us clarity on your products, your customers, and what your store needs to do from day one.
2
Planning the buying journey
Next, we map out the customer journey — how people find products, browse, compare and buy. We structure categories, filters, search and page layouts to remove friction and make purchasing feel effortless.
3
Choosing the right ecommerce setup
Every store is different, so we define the features you actually need — from product variations and subscriptions to bookings, memberships or bespoke functionality. We’ll recommend the most reliable extensions and avoid unnecessary add-ons, keeping your setup lean and scalable.
4
Payment gateway consultation
We’ll advise on the best payment gateway for your business, based on budget, sales volume and customer expectations. Stripe is often a strong choice for speed and reliability, but we’ll guide you through the right options for your store.
5
Design and UX
We design your store around your brand, with clarity and usability at the centre. From product pages to checkout, we create layouts that help customers understand what they’re buying and complete purchases with confidence.
6
Development and integration
We build your bespoke WooCommerce store and integrate the tools you need — shipping, stock, CRM, email, and other third-party services. Everything is developed with performance, stability and long-term growth in mind.
7
Testing and quality assurance
Before launch, we test the full experience: browsing, add-to-cart, checkout, emails, accounts, mobile responsiveness and payment flows. Nothing goes live until it’s working properly and feels polished.
8
Launch and support
We deploy your store, set up SEO fundamentals, connect analytics, and check everything is running smoothly. After launch, we’re on hand for ongoing support, improvements and optimisation as your business evolves.
