eCommerce

An online shop is a different problem from a brochure website. It has to load quickly on a phone, survive a traffic spike, take payments securely, keep stock accurate, and comply with UK consumer and data protection law. We build eCommerce sites for Hampshire retailers and UK-wide brands from our Southampton studio, and we get the unglamorous parts right because that is where the revenue leaks.

What Our eCommerce Services Include

1. Store Design and Build

• 1

  Custom, branded storefronts

  Designed around your products and customers rather than a theme built for somebody else's catalogue.

• 2

  Speed as a conversion lever

  A Google and Deloitte study found a 0.1 second mobile speed improvement lifted retail conversions by 8.4%. Our Next.js builds are fast by construction, not after months of tuning.

• 3

  Checkout built to convert

  Guest checkout, minimal fields, visible delivery costs and clear trust signals. Most abandoned baskets are a checkout problem, not a pricing one.

2. Platform Choice

• 1

  Custom Next.js commerce

  Full control of performance, structured data and checkout flow, with Stripe or PayPal handling payments.

• 2

  WooCommerce and Shopify

  Where you need a familiar admin or an existing ecosystem, we build and host these properly rather than dismissing them.

• 3

  Honest recommendations

  Twelve products and a simple catalogue does not need a headless architecture. We will say so.

3. Products, Stock and Fulfilment

• 1

  Catalogue management

  Variants, bundles, categories and filtering that stay usable as the catalogue grows past a few dozen lines.

• 2

  Stock accuracy

  Live stock levels, low-stock alerts and back-in-stock notifications, synced with your existing systems where they exist.

• 3

  Shipping and returns

  Royal Mail, DPD and courier integrations, UK and international rates, plus a returns flow that meets Consumer Contracts Regulations.

4. Payments, Security and Compliance

• 1

  PCI-compliant payments

  Card data never touches your server. Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay integrated so you carry as little liability as possible.

• 2

  UK GDPR and cookie consent

  Consent captured before non-essential cookies fire, a compliant privacy policy, and lawful email marketing. See our GDPR eCommerce guide.

• 3

  Fraud and abuse protection

  Rate limiting, address verification and monitoring, alongside our wider security practice.

5. eCommerce SEO and Google Shopping

• 1

  Product schema and rich results

  Price, availability and review markup so listings stand out in search rather than appearing as plain blue links.

• 2

  Merchant Center feeds

  A clean, error-free product feed is what determines whether Shopping and Performance Max campaigns work at all.

• 3

  Category and collection pages

  Structured to rank for the terms people actually search, supported by our SEO service.

6. Analytics and Growth

• 1

  Real revenue tracking

  Enhanced eCommerce tracking with Consent Mode v2, so your reporting survives UK consent requirements.

• 2

  Abandoned basket recovery

  Automated email sequences and retargeting to recover sales that were already almost made.

• 3

  Paid acquisition

  Shopping and Performance Max campaigns through our advertising service and Google Ads Setup package.
