Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled within the platform. Apps add features, but their subscriptions create recurring costs, and deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan. Review the features you actually need before choosing apps.
WooCommerce is worth considering if your business already uses WordPress or publishes a lot of content. You get control over the code, data and hosting, but someone must look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. That ongoing responsibility should be part of your platform decision.
A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, fits an unusual catalogue or a product configurator. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, so the choice reflects how your store needs to run.
Local
What London businesses need from an online store
Technology companies are concentrated in East London Tech City. If your business there sells configurable products, the store needs to capture the customer’s choices clearly. We can plan for file uploads, previews or price rules where ordinary product variants do not cover what you sell. Those choices also need to make sense to the person handling the resulting order.
London also has universities and colleges whose students and staff are potential customers for retailers. If you run a physical shop serving them, an online store needs an accurate view of stock across the shop and website. A connection to your till system and a click-and-collect option give your team a practical way to handle orders across both.
Rules
What your UK store needs to handle
UK rules prohibit drip pricing, so mandatory charges need to be clear before a shopper reaches the final checkout step. We set up the product, cart and checkout displays around the charges your store applies, so customers can see what they are being asked to pay.
If your business is a UK limited company, your website must show its registered number, registered office address, place of registration and limited status. We make space for those details in the site pages as part of the build.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 5h30m ahead of UK time, or 4h30m ahead during British Summer Time. The shared board gives you a place to review work and leave feedback across that difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You help us agree what belongs in the store’s scope.
- 02
Design and build
We prepare desktop and mobile designs for your feedback before coding, then build and test on real devices and browsers. You review the designs before the build begins.
- 03
Import products
We load a small sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images before we import the full catalogue.
- 04
Test orders
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check stock, emails and the order records in your admin.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up your domain, email, analytics and search, followed by ongoing support. You have the store ready for day-to-day use.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These materials and decisions help define the store and avoid gaps during setup.
- A product spreadsheet with names, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- Original product photos, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- Plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies.
- Registration, bank and identity documents for a payment account in your business’s name.
- Your tax and delivery decisions, checked with your accountant where needed.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The work grows or shrinks with the state of your catalogue and the systems your store needs to use.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is quicker to import than information scattered across an old store, supplier PDFs and photo threads.
Catalogue setup
Products, variants and stock need to be organised for import and management.
Integrations
Connections to accounting, ERP, email and marketplaces add setup work.
Migration
Moving customers, order history and other store records adds work beyond importing products alone.
Markets
Each market needs decisions on prices, currencies, tax display, duties, translated content and shipping.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with ecommerce development
Leaving delivery charges until the end
Show an estimate on the product or cart page so shoppers can assess the cost earlier.
Adding an app for every small feature
Review what each app does and remove unused ones; scripts, conflicts and recurring fees can accumulate.
Overloading product pages
Compress images and load review, chat or tracking scripts only where needed.
Testing payments only in a sandbox
Place a real low-value order on live settings and refund it to check currency, order emails and payment connections.
Questions
Asked by businesses in London
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include the number of products and variants, the depth of integrations, and custom checkout or pricing rules. A store with bundles or customer-specific catalogues needs different work from one with straightforward products and an order export.
Can you move our existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. During a move, map each old product and category URL to its closest new page and set up server-side permanent redirects, including for products you no longer sell.
What is included in the store build?
The build covers the catalogue, shopping pages, cart, checkout, customer accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses. We also plan order emails, including confirmations, dispatch messages with tracking links and refunds, with your branding and a sender on your own domain.
Will we own the store after it is built?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, so you are not locked to the team that built your store. Keep those assets under your control as your business changes and you decide who should work on the store in future.
What should we check after launch?
Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change, and give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need. Track conversion, checkout drop-off and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration.
Which payment gateways can you set up?
We support Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal and local gateways, subject to your country and platform. Payment setup also needs testing beyond a successful purchase: paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders should update the order record, stock level and customer email correctly.
