Shopify and WooCommerce stores for Kent and UK businesses — configured around your products, brand and how customers actually buy. Not a theme with your logo dropped in.
Whether you are launching your first online shop or replacing a store that has outgrown its platform, the goal is the same: a credible storefront, clear product structure, and a checkout that works on mobile. Below is what gets planned, built and handed over.
Shopify suits most product-led businesses that want a platform that just works. I configure the storefront around your brand, set up products and collections, connect payments and shipping, integrate essential apps and leave you with a store that is ready to sell — from £2,500.
See Shopify pricingWooCommerce on WordPress gives you more flexibility and lower ongoing platform fees — useful when you need custom functionality or already run WordPress. Stores are built and styled properly, not bolted onto a generic blog theme. From £2,800.
How products are organised directly affects whether people find what they want and complete a purchase. I plan collections, navigation, product page layouts and cross-selling so the store reflects how your customers actually browse and buy.
Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, local delivery, collection-only, weight-based shipping — whatever your business needs. Checkout is configured and tested on mobile so customers are not lost at the final step.
Every store includes proper page structure, metadata, schema markup and performance basics so Google can index your products properly. You should not need a separate SEO pass just to fix what the build missed.

Shopify is easier to manage day-to-day and suits most product-led businesses. WooCommerce offers more flexibility on WordPress but needs more upkeep. I’ll recommend the right fit based on your products, budget and how you plan to run the store. Read the comparison guide for more detail.

Most Shopify and WooCommerce stores are live within 2–4 weeks, depending on product count and how quickly content is ready. I’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and flag anything that could slow things down early.
Yes. Whether you are moving from Etsy, another Shopify theme, WooCommerce or an old platform, I can migrate products, set up redirects and rebuild the store properly on Shopify or WooCommerce. Get in touch with what you have and I’ll recommend the best approach.
You will need product names, descriptions and photos — but you do not need everything polished before we start. I can guide you on what good product pages need and help structure content as we go. The clearer your product info, the faster the build.
