A custom online shop with secure checkout, inventory management, and payment processing, designed to make buying from you effortless, on any device, without the monthly platform fees.
Selling online should feel as easy for your customer as walking up to a counter and handing over a card. Too many small online shops get this wrong: slow product pages, confusing checkouts, or a payment step that makes people abandon their basket at the last second. We build the entire shopping experience around removing friction, from the first product photo to the order confirmation email.
Off-the-shelf platforms are fast to set up, but you pay for that convenience every single month, plus transaction fees stacked on top of what your payment processor already charges, plus the cost of plugins for anything beyond the basics. A hand-coded shop has none of that: no monthly platform bill, no plugin conflicts breaking your checkout after an update you didn't ask for, and no limit on customising the exact flow your products need, whether that's a simple five-product shop or a full catalogue with variants, bundles, and stock levels.
You still get a system that's genuinely easy to run day-to-day. Adding a product, changing a price, marking something out of stock: all of that happens through a simple editor, not a code deployment. The difference is what's happening underneath: lean, fast-loading code instead of a general-purpose platform carrying features you'll never use.
"E-commerce" doesn't always mean a warehouse full of physical stock. We build shops around whatever you're actually selling: physical products with variants and stock levels, digital downloads that deliver automatically after payment, gift vouchers redeemable in person, or deposit-based bookings for services like treatments and consultations. The checkout logic changes depending on what you're selling, and getting that logic right (not forcing every business into the same generic "add to cart" flow) is where a lot of off-the-shelf shop builders fall short.
If your business already takes bookings or deposits through a separate tool, we can often bring that into the same site as your shop, so customers aren't bounced between three different systems just to give you their money.
We map out your product range, how you currently take payments, and where customers currently drop off.
Product pages and checkout designed around your brand and your specific catalogue, not a generic template.
Payment processing, inventory, and shipping/tax rules built and tested end to end before launch.
Your shop goes live with a walkthrough so you can manage products and orders confidently from day one.
"Full online shops with payment processing, inventory management, and checkout flows designed to maximise your sales."
Because we build for independent businesses wherever they are, not just one market, currency and shipping logic aren't an afterthought bolted on later. If you sell to customers in more than one country, we set up currency display, shipping zones, and tax rules to match, so a shop built for a UK-based business can just as easily serve customers ordering from further afield without a separate build.
We build shops for independent businesses selling physical products, digital downloads, gift vouchers, and bookable services alike: a Thai massage studio selling gift vouchers, a restaurant taking pre-orders, an independent maker selling a product range direct to customers. Whatever you're selling, the goal is the same: a shop that loads fast, looks trustworthy, and gets someone from "interested" to "paid" in as few clicks as possible. If you already sell online and checkout drop-off is a problem, a free website audit is a good place to start.
We typically integrate Stripe and/or PayPal, which cover card payments, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. We can also integrate other processors on request depending on your country and business needs.
No. We build custom checkout and product pages by hand, which means no monthly platform subscription and no transaction fees on top of what your payment processor already charges.
Yes. You get a simple content editor to add products, update prices, and manage stock levels without touching code, plus a walkthrough so you're confident using it from day one.
