Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. Apps add features, but their subscriptions are an ongoing cost. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your checkout requirements before choosing it.
WooCommerce is worth considering if your team already uses WordPress or your shop has a lot of content. You have control over the code, data and hosting, but someone must look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. That ongoing work needs an owner.
A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, fits an unusual catalogue, a product configurator or a content-led brand. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, including how you manage orders and what your customers need at checkout.
Local
What Nottingham businesses need from an online shop
Retail and leisure are among Nottingham's target development sectors. If you run a physical shop and want to sell online, the build needs to account for stock at the till as well as on the website. We can plan stock synchronisation and a click-and-collect option around how your shop handles orders.
Nottingham is also served by the University of Nottingham, Nottingham Trent University and the Nottingham campus of the University of Law. If you sell to their communities through social media or messaging, a store gives customers a catalogue, online payment and order tracking. Product categories and filters help them find a choice, while size, colour or pack variants can each have their own stock and image.
Rules
What a UK ecommerce project has to handle
UK online sellers must tell customers about their right to cancel an order up to 14 days after delivery. We set up a returns and cancellation page that presents this information alongside your policies, so customers can find it before buying.
For marketing emails to individual customers, permission and an opt-out affect the store's email setup. We connect your email tools and set up the sign-up and opt-out route around those requirements. Order emails and marketing messages need distinct purposes in your store's communications.
How it runs
How an ecommerce development project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 5h30m ahead of the UK, or 4h30m ahead during British Summer Time. The shared board gives you a place to review work and leave feedback across the time difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You explain how products and orders are managed, and we agree the store's scope together.
- 02
Design and build
We design screens for desktop and mobile and refine them with your feedback before coding. We then build the store and test it on real devices and browsers.
- 03
Import products
We load a sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images before the full catalogue goes in, so corrections can be made to the template.
- 04
Test orders
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check stock, emails and the order details in the admin.
- 05
Launch
We set up your domain, email, analytics and search, followed by ongoing support. You can use the launch setup to start checking how the store performs.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring what you already have, along with the decisions you need to make about how the shop will operate.
- A product spreadsheetInclude names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- Product photosKeep high-resolution originals, with consistent backgrounds, several angles and an image for each colour variant.
- Tax decisionsCheck with your accountant which taxes apply and whether your prices include them.
- Delivery decisionsChoose your couriers, areas served, delivery charges and whether to offer cash on delivery.
- Account accessGather domain, DNS, current website, email, analytics and Google logins held in your business's name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of ecommerce development
The scope and readiness of your store determine how much work goes into the build.
Catalogue complexity
Products with variants, engraving, bundles or sales by weight need more catalogue work than straightforward product listings.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is ready for import; information spread across an old store, supplier PDFs and chat threads needs cleaning.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller in scope than synchronising stock and prices with an ERP or several marketplaces.
Migration
Moving customers, order history, reviews and gift cards adds work beyond moving products. Existing customers will usually need a password reset email.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with ecommerce development
Adding an app for every small feature
Review what each app or plugin does and remove unused ones. Extra scripts, conflicts and recurring fees can accumulate.
Leaving delivery charges until checkout
Show delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages so customers can see the likely cost earlier.
Overloading product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where needed.
Sending order emails without domain authentication
Set up SPF or DKIM for your sending domain to reduce the risk of messages landing in spam.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Nottingham
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an ecommerce website?
There is no fixed price. Custom checkout features, customer-specific pricing and selling into additional markets all change the scope of the work. A delivery date picker or wholesale price tier, for example, needs its own rules; another market can add currency, language and tax setup. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Should I keep selling through a marketplace as well as my own store?
You can use both. A marketplace brings existing traffic but sets the rules and keeps the customer relationship. Your own store keeps customer data and margin, while you take responsibility for attracting visitors. If you sell through both, plan how stock will stay in sync before accepting orders across the channels.
Are order emails included in the store setup?
We can set up transactional emails for events such as order confirmation, dispatch, refunds, abandoned carts and password resets. Each email needs your store's branding, a sender on your own domain and wording that matches your actual policies. A dispatch email can include the tracking link your customer needs.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. The move also needs a plan for old product and category URLs: server-side permanent redirects should point each old address to its closest new page, including when a product is dropped from the catalogue.
Will I own my ecommerce website?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, so you are not locked to the team that built the store. Keep the relevant accounts in your business's name and retain access as the store changes. Ownership gives you control over those assets if you later choose a different team.
What should I check after the store launches?
Track conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration. Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change. Give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
