FAQs
Questions we are asked before we are hired
Why choose WooCommerce?
Shopify’s great for simple shops, but once you’ve got complex SKUs, layered pricing or want powerful control over your SEO it’s start to struggle. WooCommerce sits on WordPress, so you get all the power of WordPress across your marketing pages alongside your store. Over the years we have found that when you have the right WooCommerce platform, your store will start working for you.
Do you only work locally?
Whilst we are based in London and Surrey, our work goes way beyond that. Most of our Woocommerce web design projects are UK-wide and we have a few that are international too. Distance is never the issue, the trust and expertise is, we work with those businesses leaders that care about is whether the WooCommerce website design actually converts and attracts new users as well as provide an engaging user experience.
Can you handle large catalogues?
Yes we can and this is where WooCommerce really stands out, Fifty products is easy and can be in popular ecommerce platform but for five thousand products, with variations and bundles you need WooCommerce. For this we would build you bespoke solutions inside WooCommerce, sometimes with custom plugins to ensure your store remains responsive and the user experience is high.
What’s your design approach?
A great WooCommerce web designer is really key to driving the shopping experiences, that need to understand how the woocommerce site will look across different devices, they need to user experience, to understand how SEO works and whats important in conversion rate optimisation.

Yes this happens quite a lot, many clients to come to us with an existing ecommerce platform and have specific issues to solve. Most ecommerce businesss have similar issues. the experience is out dated, they search rankings are dropping or the sales are on declin. Sometimes we can apply updates to the existing code base and sometimes we have to rebuild, whichever is its done with your business goals in mind.

Do you build custom themes?
Yes whilst an off the shelf is great to get you started and prove the concept, they tend to hit a glass ceiling as you want to scale and you need a more tailored solution with a custom woocommerce design.
