Before you redesign

A new look won't fix a store that leaks sales.

Most redesigns change colours and fonts. Sales stay the same. Buyers leave for reasons a new theme can't see. We find them first.

Slow on phones

Big images and too many apps. Shoppers leave before the page loads.

Missing answers

No sizing, delivery or returns info. Shoppers doubt, then buy elsewhere.

Hard checkout

Extra steps and weak trust signals turn full carts into lost sales.

Hidden from AI search

If AI assistants can't read your products, they recommend someone else.

Design for how people buy

Most buyers shop on a phone. Most carts still get left.

That’s why we design the mobile product page and checkout first, then scale up to desktop.

FAQ

eCommerce web design questions.

How much does a custom eCommerce website cost?

It depends on your products, features and integrations. You get a fixed quote after a short discovery call. Our UK cost guide shows real price ranges.

What's included in a build?

Custom design, mobile layouts, payment setup, a secure checkout, technical SEO and an easy dashboard to manage products.

Do you use templates?

No. We design around your brand and your products. Heavy off-the-shelf themes slow stores down.

How long does a build take?

Most builds take 6 to 12 weeks. It depends on product count, data to move and custom features. You get a firm timeline after discovery.

Do you work with Shopify and WooCommerce?

Yes. We build and fix both. We'll tell you which one fits your store, and why.

Do you help after launch?

Yes. We offer ongoing support, speed checks and SEO updates as your store grows.

Why not just stay on Shopify?

Shopify is a good start. But app costs and fees add up as you grow, and you get less control. We show you the numbers before you decide.

Is this right for a small store?

Yes. Whether you sell 10 products or 10,000, we scope the build to what you need now.
