Ecommerce website development on Shopify or WooCommerce

An online store has to do more than look good. Visitors need to find products, trust the checkout and know how delivery works. I build stores on two platforms, Shopify and WooCommerce, and I help you choose between them rather than defaulting to one.

The right choice depends on your products, how much control you want and what you are comfortable maintaining. Shopify is a hosted service with a monthly subscription that handles much of the technical work. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, gives you more control and is hosted by you, with more upkeep.

Who this is for

It suits businesses selling physical or digital products online, from a few items to a growing catalogue. If you want to sell on a marketplace such as Amazon instead of, or alongside, your own store, see Amazon listing support.

• Store design and a responsive layout for phones and desktops

Worth knowing

Platform fees, payment gateway charges and any paid apps or plugins are paid by you to those providers and are separate from my fee.

Stores are priced after I understand your products, payments and delivery. The calculator shows "Discuss your requirements" for these.
