A shop that fits the way you sell, with payment, delivery and order follow-up handled.

You are asking about: Online store. I reply by email, usually within two working days. Please do not include passwords or logins.
Most of a shop’s complexity is not on screen. It is in the rules: what a parcel costs to the other side of the country compared with next door, what happens when a size runs out, how VAT is shown on the invoice. I would rather spend the first week on those rules than on colours.
The aim is a shop you can run on a quiet Monday morning without calling me: you see the orders, print the labels, update the stock, and customers get clear emails at each step.
Ready-made platform or custom build? I tell you which one fits your catalogue and your budget, even when it means I build less.
Products, variants, delivery zones, VAT, payment methods. This is the real work of a shop, and it is settled before any design.
You place real test orders end to end, from cart to confirmation email, before anything is public.
Switch to live payments, import the final catalogue, redirect old addresses and watch the first orders with you.
Roughly 4 to 10 weeks depending on catalogue size and number of delivery rules.
For a standard catalogue and a quick start, a ready-made platform is often the sensible answer and I will say so. A custom build makes sense when your rules are unusual: made-to-order items, special pricing, a link with software you already use.
No. Payments go through a payment provider such as Stripe, which processes the card. Your shop never stores card numbers.
Yes. You get a simple back office to edit products, stock and orders. I show you how during the hand-over.
I set up the pages and fields a shop needs and tell you what must appear. The wording of your terms of sale remains your responsibility and may need a legal professional.
Yes. Pickup in store is a standard delivery option: you set the pickup hours and the customer gets a confirmation email.
