Your questions, answered.
What is an e-commerce website and how is it different from a standard website?
An e-commerce website is designed specifically to sell products or services online. It includes features like product listings, shopping carts, secure checkout, and payment integrations. Unlike a standard brochure-style website, an e-commerce site focuses on providing a seamless shopping experience that drives conversions and repeat sales.
Which e-commerce platforms do you work with?
We work with industry-leading platforms such as Shopify and WooCommerce. Each has strengths depending on whether you’re in retail, wholesale, or B2B. We’ll help you choose the right platform and customise it to fit your business goals.
How long does it take to build an e-commerce website?
Project timelines depend on complexity. A standard online store typically takes 6–10 weeks to design and launch. More advanced builds with custom integrations or unique features may take longer. We’ll provide a clear project roadmap from the start.
Can I manage my store myself once it’s built?
Yes. Our websites are built on user-friendly CMS platforms, giving you control over products, orders, promotions, and reports. We also provide training so you feel confident managing your online store.
Will my e-commerce website be mobile-friendly?
Absolutely. Mobile shopping now accounts for a large share of online sales. Every e-commerce site we design is fully responsive, ensuring smooth browsing and checkout on any device.
Will my e-commerce website be optimised for SEO?
Yes. From site structure to keyword placement, meta data, and product descriptions, we ensure your store is built with SEO best practices to increase visibility and organic traffic.
