Ecommerce websites you own, built to help you sell.
A professional store without the technical headache. We handle the build, the product setup, the payments and the photos, so you can get on with running the business.
Everything set up, so you can just sell
Taking your business online is a big step, and it's normal to worry about payments, photos or getting found. That's our job. We build more than a website; we set up a working shop: products, descriptions, delivery, payments, and the training to run it yourself. No jargon unless you ask for it.
What you get
- Done for you: design, product upload, descriptions, the lot.
- Product photography: we can arrange a shoot, or show you how to do it well.
- Descriptions that sell and get found: written for people first, and structured so Google and AI understand what you're selling.
- Secure payments: Stripe, PayPal or your bank, set up so money goes straight to you and you never handle card data.
- Training and handover: we don't leave until you're confident adding products and managing orders, and we record training videos so you've always got a reference.
You own it, properly
We build on proven open-source software, usually WooCommerce on WordPress, so the store is yours. No monthly platform rent, no per-sale platform fees. You pay for hosting and any premium plugin licences, which is far cheaper than renting a platform.
A straight word on ownership. Once you've paid in full, the design, your content and the custom build are yours. That doesn't cover third-party licences or paid plugins, your ecommerce licence and any premium extensions, which stay on subscription with their providers. Nor does it cover our own proprietary tools: where we've used those, you're licensed to keep using them on this site for as long as you're a client, but they remain ours.
Ready for how people will shop next
Shopping is starting to move beyond the search box. People are beginning to ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot to find, compare and even buy on their behalf, and open standards are being built so those assistants can read a shop's products and check out for a customer. It's early, but it's moving fast, and the businesses preparing now are the ones that show up when it matters.
We build your store so it speaks the language these systems expect: clean, structured product information an AI can actually read, accurate stock and pricing, clear policies, and the secure, standard payment rails the new agentic-checkout standards are being built on. We won't pretend to future-proof anything, nobody can in a field moving this fast, but we can keep you in the running rather than invisible. (See AI search visibility.)
Selling to trade as well?
If you're a wholesaler or manufacturer selling to retailers and resellers, or you need a hybrid B2B and B2C shop with trade pricing and trade accounts, we build that too. More on that on our WooCommerce page.
Planned properly first
Think of it like a floor plan before the bricks. We sketch the layout and map the customer's journey before anyone builds anything, so the changes happen at the quick, free stage rather than the expensive one after the site is live.

Online shops start from £5,000, depending on how many products you have and what you need. We'll give you a fixed quote. We don't carry London-agency overheads, so you're not paying for them either. (Figures in the central prices file.)
A word from a client
"I was terrified of moving my candles online. I thought I'd break something. The team held my hand through the whole process, photographed my new collection, and now I'm shipping orders to Scotland." — Penny, Dragon Candles
