WooCommerce powers over 30% of all online stores globally and is the platform of choice for UK brands that want full control over their data, content, and customer experience. We build custom WooCommerce stores that leverage WordPress's flexibility — perfect for content-led brands, publishers, and businesses with complex product catalogs.
Our WooCommerce builds include custom themes, plugin development where needed, complete checkout customization, and deep integration with your existing WordPress content. Because WooCommerce gives you ownership of the platform, you're never locked into a monthly SaaS fee and can scale without platform limitations.

- Multi-vendor marketplace — Dokan, WCFM, or custom marketplace builds

- Custom plugin development when off-the-shelf can't solve it

Headless Commerce Development
Headless commerce decouples your frontend (what customers see) from your backend (inventory, orders, payments). The result: lightning-fast stores that load in under 1 second, unique UX that competitors can't replicate, and full freedom to build any digital experience — web, mobile app, in-store display, or all three simultaneously.
We build headless stores using Next.js on the frontend with Shopify or WooCommerce as the backend commerce engine, giving UK brands the speed of a static site with the power of an enterprise e-commerce platform. This approach is ideal for high-growth UK brands doing £500K+ annually that need performance and differentiation.
- Next.js storefronts — Sub-1-second load times, top Core Web Vitals
- Shopify or WooCommerce backend — Keep your existing commerce logic
- Custom API layer — Flexible data access for any frontend
- Multi-channel selling — Web, mobile app, POS, and kiosk from one backend
- Edge deployment — Vercel or Cloudflare for global speed
- Incremental migration — Move section by section without downtime
What you get
- Sub-1-second page loads — 5-10x faster than standard stores
- Full creative freedom — no template restrictions
- Multi-channel ready — one backend, unlimited frontends
- Best-in-class Core Web Vitals for SEO and CRO
Multi-vendor marketplaces are one of the fastest-growing segments in UK e-commerce. Instead of buying inventory, you connect buyers with sellers — taking a commission on each transaction. We build complete marketplace platforms with seller onboarding, automated commission splits, admin moderation, and everything needed to run a thriving UK marketplace.
Our marketplace builds work on WooCommerce (using Dokan or WCFM), Shopify (with Multi-Vendor plugins), or completely custom headless architectures for large-scale platforms. We handle seller verification, dispute resolution systems, escrow payments, and advanced reporting for both admins and vendors.
- Seller onboarding — Self-service registration and verification
- Vendor dashboards — Sales, orders, payouts, analytics
- Automated commissions — Split payments via Stripe Connect or PayPal
- Review systems — Buyer feedback for sellers and products
- Admin moderation — Approve listings, resolve disputes, monitor activity
- Escrow payments — Hold funds until order is fulfilled
What you get
- Complete multi-vendor marketplace — launch-ready
- Automated commission handling and seller payouts
- Admin tools to moderate, approve, and manage sellers
- Full escrow and dispute resolution workflows
Store Migration & Replatforming
If you're on Magento, BigCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, or an aging custom platform, migrating to a modern system unlocks speed, security, and scalability you can't achieve on legacy architecture. But migrations done wrong can destroy SEO rankings and lose customer data. We've completed 80+ UK migrations with a 100% SEO preservation record.
Our migration process is methodical: full audit of your current setup, staging environment build, data migration in test, thorough QA, staged cutover with rollback capability, and post-launch monitoring. We preserve URLs via 301 redirects, migrate customer accounts, order history, and product data cleanly, and keep your site live throughout the process.
- SEO preservation — 301 redirects, schema preservation, sitemap migration
- Zero-downtime cutover — Live site stays up until switchover
- Data migration — Products, customers, orders, reviews, content
- URL mapping — Every old URL redirected correctly
- Staged rollout — Test with small traffic before full switch
- Post-launch monitoring — 30 days of performance tracking
What you get
- 100% SEO preservation — no ranking loss from migration
- Zero downtime — your store stays live throughout
- Complete data migration with no customer loss
- 30 days of post-launch monitoring and support
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)
CRO is the highest-ROI service in e-commerce. Instead of spending more on ads, we optimize your existing traffic to convert better — turning 2% conversion into 4%, or 4% into 7%. For a UK store doing £1M annually, doubling conversion adds £1M in revenue from the same traffic you're already paying for.
Our CRO program runs continuous A/B tests across every stage of the funnel — homepage, category pages, product pages, cart, and checkout. We use heatmaps, session recordings, funnel analysis, and user surveys to identify friction, then systematically test improvements. Every test is statistically validated before we roll it out.
- A/B testing — Rigorous tests on every key page
- Heatmaps & recordings — Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, or FullStory
- Funnel analysis — Identify drop-off points at every step
- Checkout optimization — Reduce friction, add payment options
- Product page CRO — Reviews, urgency, imagery, layout
- User research — Surveys, interviews, usability tests
What you get
- Higher conversion rate from traffic you already pay for
- Validated improvements — no guessing, no dark patterns
- Ongoing testing program that compounds over time
- Measurable revenue impact — usually 15-100% CVR lift
Email Marketing & Retention
Acquiring a UK customer costs £25-80. Retaining them costs £2-5. Yet most stores put 90% of effort into acquisition and 10% into retention — the exact opposite of what makes money. Our retention service turns first-time buyers into repeat customers with automated email and SMS flows that run on autopilot.
We build complete Klaviyo or Mailchimp automation including welcome flows, abandoned cart recovery, browse abandonment, post-purchase sequences, win-back campaigns, and replenishment reminders. Every flow is segmented, tested, and optimized monthly. UK stores using our retention service typically see 25-40% of total revenue from email and SMS.
- Welcome series — Convert new subscribers into first-time buyers
- Abandoned cart — Recover 10-15% of abandoned carts
- Post-purchase — Thank you, review request, cross-sell
- Win-back campaigns — Re-engage customers after 60+ days
- SMS marketing — Higher open rates for urgent offers
- Loyalty programs — Points, VIP tiers, referral rewards
What you get
- Complete email automation — set up once, works forever
- 25-40% of total store revenue typically from email/SMS
- Higher customer lifetime value — 2-3x repeat purchase rate
- Monthly optimization based on real performance data
Paid traffic stops the moment you stop paying. Organic traffic compounds month after month, forever. Our e-commerce SEO service is built for UK stores that want to rank for commercial-intent keywords, drive qualified organic traffic, and build a moat competitors can't easily cross. Typical results: 3-10x organic traffic growth within 12 months.
The strategy covers technical SEO (site speed, schema, crawlability), on-page optimization (category pages, product pages, internal linking), content marketing (blog, buying guides), and authority building (UK-relevant link acquisition). Every month you receive a detailed report showing rankings, traffic, and revenue attributed to organic search.

- Full monthly reporting on rankings, traffic, revenue
Paid Ads & ROAS Management
Paid traffic is how UK stores scale fast — but only if it's profitable. We manage Google Shopping, Performance Max, Meta Ads, TikTok, and Pinterest campaigns with a relentless focus on return on ad spend. Every campaign is built around your unit economics — not vanity metrics.
Our process includes full account audit, product feed optimization, creative production, audience strategy, daily bid management, and continuous A/B testing. We report on revenue, ROAS, cost-per-acquisition, and lifetime value by channel and cohort. You always know exactly which campaigns are printing money and which need fixing.

- ROAS measured by channel and customer cohort
- Full creative production and testing program
- Transparent weekly reporting — no black boxes
Speed & Performance Optimization
Every 1 second of load time costs UK stores ~7% of conversions. Yet after auditing hundreds of UK stores, we routinely find mobile load times between 4 and 8 seconds. This is the single most fixable, highest-impact problem in UK e-commerce — and the work pays for itself within weeks.
Our speed optimization service covers image optimization (WebP, lazy loading), script audit (removing bloat apps), CDN setup (Cloudflare, Vercel), hosting review, database optimization, and Core Web Vitals fixes. We measure before and after, and report exactly how much faster your store loads on mobile, desktop, and throttled 3G/4G connections.
- Image optimization — WebP conversion, compression, lazy loading
- Script audit — Remove unused apps, defer non-critical JS

- Higher conversion from every visitor (7% per second saved)
- Better Google rankings via Core Web Vitals
- Measurable before/after performance reporting
Your store doesn't exist in isolation. It needs to talk to your CRM, ERP, warehouse, accounting system, email platform, and marketing tools. We build integrations that eliminate manual data entry, reduce errors, and give you a single source of truth across your business.
