E-commerce

Online stores that feel like your shop.

We design and build e-commerce sites for boutique retail and product brands: fast, easy to shop, and unmistakably yours.

Who it's for

A store as strong as your brand.

You've built a real following in person, through your shop, your stall, your DMs, or a marketplace you've outgrown. You're ready for a store that's unmistakably yours, not a template everyone recognizes or a listing that looks like everyone else's. That's exactly what we build: a store that carries the feel of your brand, that you own outright, and that you can actually run.

What we build

Built to sell, built to run.

Custom WordPress and WooCommerce stores you own outright and can run yourself. Here's what that actually gets you:

You own it, not rent it. You own your store outright, the way you own your shop. There's no platform lock-in and no per-sale fee skimming your margins. If you ever want to move or bring in another developer, the whole thing goes with you.
Built around your brand. Your store is designed around your brand and your products, not dropped into a template. Your photography leads and the layout fits how you actually sell, so it never reads like a marketplace listing. People recognize it as yours the moment they land.
You run it yourself. Add products, launch a sale, and fill orders from a clean dashboard, with no developer on call. We build it to be genuinely usable and train you on it before launch. And if you'd rather skip the busywork, a care plan can handle product updates for you.
Built to grow. We start with a tight, well-built catalog and leave room to expand. As you add product lines or want new features, the store grows without a rebuild. WooCommerce scales from a handful of products to thousands, so you won't outgrow it.

04
Launch & train
We launch, train you to run it, and stay on for care so the store keeps selling.
What's included

Every store ships ready to sell.

One scope, agreed up front. This is the foundation every store launches with, whatever you sell.

Product pages that lead with your photography

Clean layouts that put the product first, with galleries, options, and the details people check before they buy.

Secure checkout and payments

Stripe or PayPal connected and tested before launch, so you take cards safely from day one.

Shipping, tax, and inventory setup

Rates, zones, tax rules, and stock tracking matched to how you actually sell and ship.

Search and navigation that work

People find the thing they came for in seconds, whether you carry twelve products or twelve hundred.

On-page SEO for products and categories

Titles, descriptions, and clean structure, so your products can be found on Google, not just on your site.

Training and thirty days of support

Learn the dashboard before launch, in a session that's live and recorded. We handle fixes and questions while you settle in.

The investment

Most stores start around $6,000, quoted fixed before we begin. The number depends on catalog size and what your store needs to do.

A real result

Orders within 12 hours.

“An outstanding job designing and creating my e-commerce website. Readily available, going above and beyond to perfect every detail. Within 12 hours of launch, orders started flooding in.”

Common questions

Good to know.

What most people ask before building a store. If yours isn't here, just ask.

Do you build on Shopify or WordPress?

We build on WordPress with WooCommerce. The short version is that you own the whole store outright instead of renting it, and you're not tied to one company's platform or its rules. WooCommerce also avoids the per-sale platform fees some hosted builders charge, so more of each sale stays with you. If you're already on Shopify and it's working, we'll tell you honestly whether moving is worth it.

Are there ongoing fees to run the store?

WooCommerce itself is free and open-source, so there's no platform fee taken out of your sales. Your running costs are hosting, which our care plans handle, and your payment processor's standard rate, usually around 2.9% plus about 30 cents per transaction through a processor like Stripe. That's a standard card-processing rate you'd pay almost anywhere. The difference is there's no extra platform cut stacked on top.

Can I manage products and orders myself?

Yes. We build the store so you can add and edit products, run sales, and process orders from a clean dashboard, without touching code or calling us. We train you on it at handoff so you're comfortable from day one. If you'd rather hand off the busywork, a care plan can cover product updates and edits for you.

How do payments and shipping work?

We connect the store to a trusted processor like Stripe or PayPal so you can take cards securely from launch, and we set up your shipping rates, zones, and tax settings to match how you actually sell. You stay in control of all of it afterward, and we walk you through it before the store goes live.

What does an e-commerce site cost?

Most stores start around $6,000 and scale with the size of your catalog and the features you need. After a short discovery call we give you a fixed quote, so there are no surprises. Hosting and care are separate ongoing costs that start lower, and we lay all of it out clearly before you commit.

Will the store grow with my business?

Yes. WooCommerce handles a small catalog or thousands of products, so you're not going to outgrow it. As you add lines, run promotions, or want new features, the store expands without a rebuild. That's a big part of why we build on a platform you own instead of a closed one.

What are the most important elements of e-commerce website design?

Fast pages on mobile, clear product photography, a checkout with as little friction as possible, and search and navigation that help people find things quickly. Everything else on a store supports those four. It's also the order we prioritize them in when we build.

Can you move my existing store over?

Yes. If you're selling on Shopify, Etsy, Square, or another platform, we bring your products, images, and customer records across wherever the platform lets us export them, and we redirect your old store's addresses so the traffic and rankings you've built follow you. Your current store keeps selling until the new one is ready.

Ongoing care

Keep your store selling.

An online store has more at stake than a brochure site. Every minute it's down or slow is a sale you don't make, and you're handling payments and customer data the whole time. A care plan keeps the store fast, secure, and open for business.

Managed hosting
Fast, secure servers handled for you, so you are not juggling a separate host.
Security & SSL
An SSL certificate plus continuous monitoring and quick fixes keep your site and your visitors safe.
Backups
A recent copy is always ready, so a bad update or outage is never a disaster.
Updates
WordPress, plugins, and the parts under the hood kept current so nothing breaks or goes stale.
Uptime monitoring
If the site ever goes down, we are alerted right away and act before it costs you.
Content edits
A set amount of changes each month, handled for you. Higher tiers include more time, with rollover.
Analytics & optimization Partner tier
We track what is working and steadily improve the site over time.
