Online shops

An online shop people actually buy from.

Anyone can put products on a page. The difference between a shop that sells and one that does not is everything between someone landing on it and their card details going in.

Selling online isn’t usually a design problem. It’s a drop-off problem. People arrive, look at one product, and then something asks them to make a decision they aren’t ready for — an account before they can buy, a delivery cost that only appears at the last step, a photograph that doesn’t show the thing they’re trying to picture at home.

Every one of those is a place the sale quietly ends.

So a shop I build is designed backwards from the checkout: what does someone need to know before they’ll add this to a basket, and where does the current version make them stop? You see a sample of your shop before you pay anything — send the brief and it’s with you in 48 hours.

FAQ

Questions people ask before they get in touch

How much does an online shop cost to build?

Every shop is quoted individually, and after you have seen a free sample design of it, we shape the plan together so it covers what your shop needs at a price that works for you. The price depends mostly on how many products you have, whether they come in sizes or other variants, how delivery works, and whether products need moving across from an existing shop.

Do you take a percentage of my sales?

No, I take nothing per sale. Payments go through Stripe straight into your own account, and Stripe charges its own fee on each transaction, which it publishes on its pricing page.

How many products can I sell?

Anything from a handful to a few hundred stays comfortable to run. Beyond that the real question becomes how you manage stock rather than how the shop is built, and I will tell you honestly if you have outgrown what I should be building for you.

Can I add products and change prices myself?

Yes, from a phone if you want to. I will show you how in one sitting and leave you written instructions. A shop you have to pay someone else to update is not really yours to run.

Is it secure to take card payments?

Yes. Card details never touch your website — they go directly to Stripe, which is what keeps the security obligations off you. The site itself runs over an encrypted connection as standard.

Can I sell products in different sizes or colours?

Yes. Each product can have its own options, such as sizes, colours or materials, with separate prices and stock where you need them.

Can I offer different delivery options?

Yes, such as standard and express delivery, free delivery over a set spend, or collection. Customers see the delivery cost before they reach the final step, not after.

Can I add discount codes?

Yes, for a percentage or a fixed amount off, which is useful for a launch, a sale or a thank-you to returning customers.

Can I manage orders myself?

Yes. You can see every order, what was bought and where it is going, and keep track of what has been sent. Customers get an automatic confirmation email when they order, and you are told about every new order too.

Can customers buy without creating an account?

Yes, and they should be able to. Forcing an account before a first purchase is one of the most reliable ways to lose a sale from someone who has never bought from you before.

Can you move products from my existing online shop?

Yes. Your products, prices and descriptions can be moved across from your current shop, so you do not have to add them all again by hand.

Will my products show up in Google?

Product names, prices and stock status are published in a form search engines read directly, which is what makes a listing eligible to show a price rather than just a link. Markup makes a result eligible, never guaranteed, and it takes a re-crawl before anything changes.
