Ecommerce Web Design Manchester
Pretty stores don't pay wages, converting ones do. Our web design team in Manchester designs and builds ecommerce websites on Shopify and WooCommerce where every decision, from product page layout to checkout flow, is made with one question: does this sell more?
Platforms
Shopify or WooCommerce, chosen for you, not for us
We build on both and we're evangelical about neither. The right platform depends on your catalogue, your margins and how you like to work. We'll recommend one and tell you why in plain English.
Best when you want it handled
Hosting, security and payments managed by the platform. Predictable monthly cost, superb reliability, and an admin your team will actually enjoy using. The default choice for most product businesses.
Best when you want it flexible
Open-source and endlessly customisable, on hosting you control. Better for unusual catalogues, complex pricing rules, or when the store is one part of a bigger WordPress site. Pairs well with our managed hosting.
The build
What an ecommerce build includes
Product pages that sell
Sharp photography guidance, benefit-led copy, reviews in view and delivery answers up front, the questions buyers ask, answered before they ask them.
A checkout that doesn't leak
Guest checkout, wallet payments, clear shipping costs early. Most abandoned carts are engineering failures, we engineer them out.
Search-ready structure
Collection pages targeting real search terms, product schema for rich results, and clean URLs Google can crawl without choking.
Speed on mobile
Most ecommerce traffic is on a phone, where every second of load time costs sales. We build to 90+ PageSpeed and prove it at handover.
Analytics that mean something
Ecommerce tracking configured properly: revenue by channel, conversion by device, drop-off by step. Decisions need data.
Training for your team
Adding products, changing prices, running discounts, your team learns the lot before launch. Independence included.

Selling something considered?
The same conversion engineering that powers our stores sells six-figure building plots at Self Build Plots, journeys, calculators and proof, all working toward one decision.
Questions
Ecommerce questions, answered straight
How much does an ecommerce website cost?
Every store is quoted bespoke, catalogue size, platform and features drive the price, which is why menu pricing misleads. The quote is fixed before we start, always; use the form and you'll have yours within 48 hours.
Can you migrate my existing store?
Yes, products, customers, order history and rankings. Store migrations are a form of website redesign, and the same rule applies: nothing valuable gets left behind.
Do I pay transaction fees to you?
No. You pay the platform and payment provider their standard rates; we take nothing per sale. Our job ends with a store that converts, we don't tax it afterwards.
Can you help drive traffic after launch?
The build ships search-ready, and purpose-built landing pages can put your ad spend to work properly. We'll be straight about what's worth paying for and what isn't.
