You don't need to know what Shopify, WooCommerce or headless means. That is our job. Tell us what you sell and how you run it, and we will tell you — in plain English — which system fits, what it costs, how long it takes, and exactly what you get.

Shopify hosts and secures the store for you and handles payments, tax and checkout out of the box. For a standard product catalogue it is the fastest, lowest-maintenance route — you pay a monthly fee instead of paying developers to keep servers alive.
// Monthly platform fee plus card fees. You own your content and data; the software is rented.
Get this quotedA single order touches seven systems before the money is yours. Click any stop to see what it is, what usually breaks there, and what we build so it doesn't. This is the map we use to quote your project.
Search, categories and filters are what stand between a visitor and the product they wanted. If a shopper cannot narrow 800 items down to the three they care about, they leave — and no amount of design fixes that.
Every agency has a favourite. We do not sell licences, so we can tell you which one is genuinely cheaper to run for your business over three years. Pick a column to compare.
A company hosts, secures and updates your shop for a monthly fee. You get a proven checkout and payments without employing anyone technical to keep it running.
Build, platform fees and upkeep for a typical mid-size store
// build | platform fees | upkeep & support · indicative, not a quote
Standard product catalogues, small teams, brands that want to sell now and not think about servers.
Highly unusual pricing, approval or contract logic that the platform simply will not allow.
The software your shop runs on. Shopify is rented; WooCommerce you own and host yourself.
The payment screens. On hosted platforms this is largely fixed, which is usually a good thing.
The shop front and the commerce engine are separate programs. More freedom, more cost.
Two systems talking automatically — for example your store telling your warehouse to ship an order.
Moving products, customers, orders and web addresses to a new store without losing Google rankings.
Software that holds the master product or business data. The store should follow it, not fight it.
No vague "development" line items. Here is each work area, in words you can check against what gets delivered.
We decide the platform after understanding your products, markets, team and systems — and we write down why.
Mobile-first category, product, cart and account pages built from your real catalogue, not sample data.
Product structure, attributes, variants and search behaviour designed so customers find things and staff can maintain them.
Wallets, local payment methods, tax and shipping rules configured and tested per market before launch.
ERP, warehouse, accounting, CRM and email tools connected with error handling, retries and alerts.
Moving from an existing store without losing rankings, history or the ability to compare year on year.
We sit with you and write down what you sell, who buys it, how orders reach customers today, and every system involved — including the spreadsheets.
A short written comparison of the realistic options with three-year cost, risks and what each one would stop you doing later. You approve one.
Product structure, pricing, shipping, tax and any special rules documented before design, because these decide what the store can do.
Key screens designed with your real products and reviewed on a phone, so you approve something clickable rather than a picture.
Storefront, checkout logic and system connections built in weekly sprints. You get a link every Friday showing what changed.
Real payment tests, device testing, data migration, redirects and analytics checks, then a scheduled launch with rollback ready.
Monitoring, monthly reporting in plain language, and a prioritised list of improvements based on what customers actually do.
One dashboard, five questions. No screenshots of graphs you cannot read, no vanity metrics — just whether people find products, buy them, and whether the money is profitable after costs.
Platform fees and third-party software are always quoted separately, so you can see what is ours and what is theirs.
A complete first store on the platform that fits you — designed, built, connected and launched.
Rebuilding or moving an existing store without losing rankings, data or trading days.
Account pricing, approvals, quotes, ERP-driven stock or logic no template platform allows.
Ongoing costs you will also have: platform subscription, payment processing fees, any paid apps, and optional support. We list these in the quote so nothing appears after launch.
If your question is not here, ask it in one line. You will get a written answer from an engineer, not a sales script.
Ask your questionNot at all — most of our clients don't when we meet. You explain the business; we explain the options in normal words and give you a written recommendation with costs. You never have to guess at a technical decision.
Over three years, rarely the one with the lowest sticker price. Hosted platforms charge monthly but include hosting, security and updates. Self-hosted has no licence but needs maintenance. We show both totals side by side for your specific case.
Yes. Every old web address gets a redirect to its new equivalent, product and customer data is migrated and reconciled, and analytics is rebuilt so you keep year-on-year comparison. We test the redirect map before launch, not after.
A straightforward store is typically 6–10 weeks. Bigger catalogues, wholesale rules, multiple countries or warehouse integrations push it to 12–20. Your timeline is fixed in the proposal, with the critical path named.
Yes. The code sits in your repository, the platform and payment accounts are in your name, and handover includes documentation and training. There is no lock-in retainer and no hostage situation if you leave.
Usually. We document what data moves, in which direction, how often, and what happens when it fails — before we build. If a system has no way to connect, we tell you early rather than discovering it mid-project.
You can take it in-house with the documentation we provide, or we stay on for monitoring, updates and improvement work. Either way you get monthly reporting in plain language for the first three months.
Send your products, current setup and how orders reach customers today. Within two working days you get a written plan: recommended platform, work list, timeline, cost range and the risks we can see. No obligation, and the notes are yours to keep.
