WooCommerce, built like it matters.
WooCommerce is the honest answer for a lot of stores, and we will say so. Under roughly £500k of turnover, with a catalogue in the hundreds rather than the tens of thousands, the cost and overhead of Magento rarely pays for itself.
What we do not do is build it differently because it is the cheaper platform. Same bespoke design, same coding standards, same accessibility sign-off, same code ownership.

- WordPress
The right platform for the size you actually are.
Most WooCommerce stores are not underpowered. They are under-built: a marketplace theme, fifteen plugins doing the job of four, and nobody responsible for any of it.
Ours starts with your catalogue, your customers and how people buy from you, goes through wireframes and design, and ends as a custom theme built to WordPress coding standards. You own it outright - no licence that expires, no page builder holding the layout hostage, no monthly fee that stops the site working if you cancel it.
- ✓ Turnover under roughly £500k
- ✓ A catalogue in the hundreds, not the tens of thousands
- ✓ You already run WordPress for content and want one system
- ✓ You want a real store live in six to ten weeks
Good fit if
- ? Multi-warehouse or complex fulfilment
- ? B2B pricing tiers or account-specific catalogues
- ? More than a few thousand SKUs
- ? International stores with separate catalogues and tax rules

What a WooCommerce build includes
Bespoke theme
Designed in-house from your brand and your catalogue. Not a marketplace theme with the colours changed.
Checkout designed to convert
We design the path to checkout before the visual design starts, then measure it once you are live.
Plugin discipline
Every plugin justified, version-pinned and reviewed. Most rescues we take on start with removing two-thirds of them.
WCAG 2.2 AA
Accessibility is a pass condition before launch, not a retrofit after a complaint.
CRM and email integration
Connected to whatever you already run, with the events tracked from day one.
Website Care
Updates, backups, monitoring and development time on a rolling monthly plan.

All prices on this page are indicative. You get a fixed quote once we have scoped the work. The spread depends on catalogue size, how many integrations are involved, and whether content needs migrating.
When to move up to Magento
Written down in advance, on purpose. A platform conversation you can see coming is a planning decision; one that arrives the week your store starts falling over is an emergency, and emergencies cost more.
| Consideration | Stay on WooCommerce | Time to talk Magento |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue size | Up to a few thousand SKUs | Tens of thousands, or frequent bulk changes |
| Order volume | Steady, within one fulfilment flow | Volume the plugin stack starts struggling with |
| Warehousing | Single location | Multi-warehouse or split fulfilment |
| B2B pricing | One price list, simple discounts | Account-specific pricing or tiered trade catalogues |
| International | One store, one or two currencies | Separate catalogues, tax rules or storefronts per market |
| Integrations | A handful, well chosen | PIM, ERP or 3PL that has to stay in sync |
