Web design and development

E-commerce websites built around what you sell

A simple shop can run on WooCommerce. If your products need configuring, your shipping is complicated or you have outgrown your plugins, we can build a shop around how your business sells.

When a custom shop makes sense

  • Customers need to configure a product before buying
  • Prices depend on rules that an off-the-shelf shop struggles with
  • Your current store relies on a long list of plugins
  • Orders need checks or paperwork before you can fulfil them

What we build

  • Product configurators. Plate Studio customers see their own number plate as they design it, and Tony James Designs guides riders to the right kit for their exact bike.
  • Secure checkout. Card payments through Stripe and PayPal, with prices calculated on the server rather than taken from the browser.
  • Shipping and tracking. Tony James Designs ships to 13 zones, with shipping quotes in the basket and tracking emailed to customers.
  • A back office you run. Products, stock, discount codes and orders managed from your own admin.

See it in practice

  • Plate Studio: A live number plate builder, online shop and identity document workflow for a DVLA registered supplier, running as one platform.
  • Tony James Designs: A long-running international WooCommerce store rebuilt on a platform the owner controls, with its products, customers and order history intact.
  • Edwards Jewellery: A website and business platform that shows the specialist behind the brand, with an online shop, commissions, events and a private client area.

How it works

We start with a free consultation about your business and what the site needs to do. You then get a fixed price and timeline before any work starts, approve the design before we build it, and own your domain, content and data.
