What makes an ecommerce website sell
An online store has more jobs than a brochure site. Shoppers need to find the right product quickly, trust what they see and get through checkout without friction. Search engines need category and product pages they can read and rank. And you need to be able to add products, run sales and fulfil orders without calling a developer.
Good ecommerce website design handles all three. We plan the store around how your customers shop, whether that is by category, by brand or by need, and build it so the pages that matter most can rank.

WooCommerce or Shopify?
Both are good. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, which gives you more control over design, content and SEO and has no monthly platform fee, but it needs hosting and maintenance. Shopify is hosted for you and simpler to run day to day, and it charges a monthly subscription.
We recommend one after we understand your products, your budget and how hands-on you want to be. If you choose WooCommerce, our managed hosting and care plans cover the upkeep.

Ecommerce website cost
Online stores are quoted as a fixed scope and price, agreed before any work starts, so there are no surprise invoices. The price depends mainly on the platform, the number of products and the features you need.
