Who You Work with on Your Store

Founders, e-commerce managers and business owners in Loughborough often sell to athletes, engineers or trade buyers. We work with the people who know those customers well.

Lead First, Bench Behind

One named project lead is accountable for delivery and picks up when you call. Shopify developers, designers and QA stand behind them, which gives a specialist seller a bigger team than it could hire.

Updates in Plain English

We meet on video, or in person by arrangement, and share short written updates between meetings. You see what was decided, what moved and what we need from you.

Joined Up with Your Staff

We work with your product owner, marketers and any in-house developers, and with a supplier already in place. Clear documentation and a tidy handover let your staff manage the store.

Shopify, WooCommerce or Webflow? A Plain-English Guide

Which platform is right comes down to your products, the people running the store and how much control you want. Here is how we weigh the three.
Platform

Shopify

Shopify development
Pick it when
Your staff will run a hosted store with its own checkout and no developer on call.
Watch for
Fees on transactions and caps by plan come with it, and unusual logic often needs an app.
Platform

WooCommerce

WooCommerce development
Pick it when
WordPress already runs your site and you want to control how the store behaves.
Watch for
Hosting, updates and security are your responsibility.
Platform

Webflow E-Commerce

Webflow development
Pick it when
Your catalogue is small and design-led, and you care most about how the pages look.
Watch for
Big catalogues and flexible checkouts are harder to achieve.
Do you sell abroad or at high volume? Before recommending anything, we set Shopify Plus against the standard plans.

What We Check Before a Shopify Store Goes Live

Go-live is when orders and search visibility are easiest to lose, so this checklist runs every time.
Check the Current Targets

Tax settings, shipping zones and delivery charges matched to your policies
Variants, images and collections combed through for missing data

What Shapes the Cost of a Shopify Store

Prices come after a conversation, in writing, because one Shopify store may hold a dozen products and another a deep catalogue. The six factors below shape the effort more than anything else.

Theme and Design

↑ Costs more when
you want a bespoke theme built around a full brand system
↓ Costs less when
an existing theme can be tailored to your brand

Catalogue

↑ Costs more when
thousands of products with technical attributes must be imported
↓ Costs less when
you sell a short range with straightforward options

Integrations

↑ Costs more when
it must connect to stock, ERP, CRM or fulfilment systems
↓ Costs less when
built-in connectors cover your needs

Migration

↑ Costs more when
order history, customer accounts and old URLs move from another platform
↓ Costs less when
you start a store from clean data

Markets and Payments

↑ Costs more when
customers abroad pay in different currencies with local methods
↓ Costs less when
you trade in a single market and accept one or two ways to pay

Custom Features

↑ Costs more when
bespoke apps, product configurators or B2B logic are on the brief
↓ Costs less when
Shopify out of the box covers the brief

Hire Shopify Developers

Match the engagement to your stage. A young brand’s first store suits a fixed build, a business replacing an old shop suits time and material, and a busy trading team may want dedicated developers.

Fixed Price Build

Theme, features and price are fixed before work starts. Fits a clear brief with a launch date.
Suits

Time and Material

Hours are billed as they are worked, and you can redirect effort whenever sales teach you something new. Fits stores that move with the calendar.
Suits

Dedicated Shopify Developers

Developers assigned to you take tickets from your backlog each sprint. A fit for teams shipping changes weekly.

The Villas Mooloolaba

Hospitality / Boutique Vacation Rental
The Villas Mooloolaba does the hard part well – four unique two-bedroom villas around a shared pool on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. The website wasn’t carrying its weight: competing against hotel chains and OTA listings meant direct booking had to feel just as easy, and guests couldn’t easily compare all four villas.
