CUSTOM ECOMMERCE DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
Ecommerce doesn’t start with templates. It starts with knowing what platform fits your business. For some, that’s Shopify, fast to market, packed with tools, and reliable when traffic spikes. For others, it’s WooCommerce, flexible, customisable, and built to sit neatly alongside existing WordPress sites. We’ve built on both, and the choice always comes down to what’s going to drive sales and simplify your operations.
From our offices in London and Surrey, we work with scale-ups and established companies all over the uk and globally, that want ecommerce to pull its weight. Not just a digital shop window, but a proper sales engine. That means tighter user journeys, checkout flows that don’t leak, and the integrations that make stock, fulfilment and reporting less painful. In short: websites that work as hard as you do.
ECOMMERCE SOLUTIONS
What Success Looks Like
Success in ecommerce isn’t about pretty pages or clever widgets. It’s about a site that feels quick, makes sense to your customers, and keeps the till ringing. When checkout is simple and stock syncs without fuss, you see it straight away in sales and repeat orders. That’s the measure that matters.
Problems We Solve
A lot of sites look the part but fall apart where it counts. Slow load times, clunky mobile journeys, plug-ins fighting each other. Customers get fed up and leave. Your team wastes hours patching things instead of growing the business. We come in to cut through that mess and rebuild on solid ground.
We Optimise
Going live isn’t the end. It’s where the learning starts. We watch how people actually use the site, test different routes, and tighten the weak spots. Over time, that means smoother journeys, higher order values, and a store that scales with you instead of holding you back.

WE BUILD ECOMMERCE SITES THAT CONVERT, SCALE AND LAST
How We Deliver It
Strategy first: We don’t start with layouts, we start with the numbers. Who’s buying, where they drop off, and what growth targets you’re chasing. That’s what drives platform choice, checkout flow, and the integrations that matter.
Design that sells: A good store looks smart. A great one makes buying simple. We focus on clear journeys, friction-free mobile use, and checkout steps that don’t get in the way. The design is always tied to conversion, not decoration.
Built to last: No clunky themes or plugin overload. We build lean, secure sites that load fast and scale without fuss. When the orders ramp up, the platform holds steady.
SEO included: Search visibility starts at the foundations. From site speed to structured data, we build with SEO in mind so you’ve got a fair shot at being found before you even think about ads.
Continuous improvement: Launch is the beginning, not the end. We track how people actually use the store, test new ideas, and keep tuning journeys so performance keeps improving.
AN ECOMMERCE PROJECT SHOULD DRIVE REVENUE
Our Point of View
E-commerce shouldn’t start with a design, it should start with a commercial target.
Too many sites are led by aesthetics, then backfilled with tech that buckles under real world pressure. We’ve seen it all: beautiful front ends masking clunky checkout logic, bloated builds that cost more to maintain than they return, and replatforms that change everything except performance.
Our view? A good store looks great. A great store sells hard.
We build the latter.
We design fast, scalable e-commerce experiences that match how your customers buy and how your business operates. Less trend-chasing. More margin-driving. And no fluff, just results you can track.
FAQs
Questions we are asked before we are hired
How do you approach a new ecommerce project?
We start by digging into your business model, customer behaviour, and commercial targets. That shapes the development process, platform choice, integrations, and design. It’s never just about features; it’s about creating a path for growth. Whether you’re looking at Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom ecommerce website, the aim is the same: a build that pays its way and scales when you need it to.
Do you work on existing websites?
Yes, many clients come to us with an existing website that looks fine but underperforms. Sometimes it’s too slow, sometimes it doesn’t convert, and sometimes the wrong ecommerce platform was chosen. We step in to review what’s there, fix technical aspects, streamline the customer journey, and align the site with your business goals. It’s often more cost-effective than starting again from scratch.
Which is the best ecommerce platform?
There isn’t a universal “best ecommerce platform.” The right ecommerce platform depends on your business needs. Shopify can be quick to market with strong ecommerce support, while WooCommerce offers extensive customisation options and sits neatly within WordPress. We’ve worked with popular ecommerce platforms across industries and always recommend based on scale, integrations, and where your online business is heading over the next few years.
Can you handle payment gateway integration?
Of course. Payment gateway integration is a core part of our ecommerce web development work. We support multiple payment gateways, credit card, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, and more. Security and compliance are non-negotiable, so we set up secure hosting and ensure customer data is properly handled. The goal is to keep checkout simple, safe, and quick, reducing drop-offs and building trust with potential customers.
How do you improve customer loyalty?
A successful ecommerce website isn’t just about first purchases, it’s about repeat customers. We look at the full customer journey, from product pages through to email sequences and rewards. Clear design, fast load times, and mobile devices optimisation all drive customer satisfaction. But the real win comes from showing people you understand their needs, which helps to build long-term customer loyalty and protect brand reputation.
Do you include search engine optimisation?
Yes, search engine optimisation is baked in from the start. Site structure, speed, content, and responsive design all affect how search engines view your store. We use seo tools and practical on-page techniques to help your ecommerce sites rank naturally. Paid ads can bring traffic, but SEO delivers sustainable growth. We’ll also connect analytics so you can track what’s working and where to adjust.
What makes your ecommerce web design different?
We don’t design ecommerce sites just to look pretty. Every decision is tied back to conversion and your target audience. That means mobile-first layouts, clear product pages, simplified checkout flows, and messaging that speaks to your potential customers. Our ecommerce website design work is about creating a seamless shopping experience that feels natural, builds brand recognition, and delivers real commercial results, not just nice visuals.
Can you build custom ecommerce solutions?
Yes, if off-the-shelf won’t cut it. Some ecommerce businesses need custom store features, complex inventory management, unique product flows, or integrations into wider digital solutions. Our skilled developers can deliver custom ecommerce website features tailored to your business needs. We avoid bloated builds and focus on development solutions that actually make the online shopping experience easier for customers and more efficient for your internal teams.
What industries do you work with?
We don’t lock into one niche. Our ecommerce web developers have built online stores for fashion, consumer goods, lifestyle brands, and B2B suppliers. Each ecommerce business is different, but the principles remain the same: user friendly design, secure hosting, and development services that scale. By focusing on outcomes, conversion, revenue, retention, we can apply our ecommerce website development services to almost any sector with equal impact.
How do you support after launch?
We don’t disappear once the ecommerce store goes live. Ongoing maintenance and ecommerce support are part of the package. That can include adding features, fixing bugs, monitoring uptime, and improving user satisfaction over time. We also offer maintenance services that include content management system updates and ongoing optimisation. Think of it as comprehensive support that grows with your ecommerce development, not a one-off handover.
Do you use analytics in your builds?
Yes, absolutely. Google Analytics and other tools are set up as standard so you can measure customer behaviour, see how product pages perform, and monitor the online shopping experience. These insights help shape the development process over time. Rather than guessing, you can see where customers drop off and we can adjust accordingly. Analytics is how we turn ecommerce development services into real-world results.
Why choose you over another agency?
We’re a development company that treats ecommerce as a growth engine, not a design exercise. Our ecommerce development services combine technical know-how with a commercial mindset. We don’t over-engineer, and we don’t push solutions you don’t need. Instead, we build ecommerce solutions that tie directly to your business goals and target audience. That’s why clients see successful ecommerce outcomes with us rather than just another site.
