E-commerce websites for Coventry businesses

Online shops for retailers and trade suppliers, from a forty-product gift shop to a parts catalogue with thousands of part numbers.

01

Pick the platform that fits the stock

Shopify suits most retailers who want hosting, payments and security handled for them. WooCommerce suits businesses that already run WordPress or need unusual product rules. For trade catalogues with account pricing we sometimes build a lighter custom front end on top of an existing stock system.

We explain the running costs of each option honestly, including app subscriptions and transaction fees, before you commit.

02

Product pages that answer the question

People buying a replacement part, a classic-car accessory or a gift want the same thing: a clear photo, the facts that matter and a confident price. We structure product data so filters work, so search engines can read it and so you can add new lines without calling us.

03

Checkout with fewer steps

Guest checkout, wallet payments, clear delivery costs and a click-and-collect option for local customers. Every extra field in a checkout loses some buyers, so we remove anything that is not needed.

04

Stock, shipping and accounting links

We connect the shop to the tools you already use where that is practical: courier label printing, Xero or QuickBooks, and stock feeds from a supplier or ERP.
