We build all of our stores on WordPress with Woocommerce. Woocommerce powers over 5+ million websites across the world and is one of the most popular solutions for eCommerce. There are lots of different features out of the box and more information can be found here.

All of our eCommerce Packages include the option for either PayPal or Stripe to be installed. Both of these solutions offer competitive rates for small businesses to process credit and debit cards. Please note, we’re unable to assist with the creation of a PayPal or Stripe account, however the process is very quick and easy. Both PayPal and Stripe offer Apple Pay and Android Pay too, so you can offer an extra level of convenience for your customers.

Good news! There is no set limit to how many products you can add to your store. If you’re just starting out, it can be very tempting to add hundreds or thousands of products, but we wouldn’t recommend this if you’re looking to generate sales through search engines. Instead focus on your top products, ensuring that the descriptions are well written, unique and have high quality imagery.

The only limitation you’ll have is based on your website’s storage. On our basic hosting package, if your images are compressed (under 500kbs), you should be able to add 500+ products with no impact on performance. Need more storage and higher speeds? We offer custom hosting solutions for large stores.

Many customers prefer us to build their websites rather than using platforms like Shopify. One significant advantage of having us build your website is that you will retain complete control over it. This means that you will own all the website files, and you can make changes to your site as you see fit. In contrast, using Shopify means that you never technically own your website, and if Shopify raises its prices, you have no choice but to pay up or lose your site altogether.

Moreover, if your business becomes successful and continues to grow, Shopify’s plans may become prohibitively expensive, with costs exceeding £340 per month to keep your store running or to add more products.

There is also greater flexibility in having your website built on WordPress/WooCommerce. These platforms offer more customisation options, allowing you to tailor your site to your specific needs and preferences. So, if you want complete control over your eCommerce website, and the ability to scale your business without incurring unnecessary expenses, then having us build your site on WordPress/WooCommerce is the way to go.
