Ecommerce Web Design for Cumbrian Businesses

For most businesses, we recommend Shopify - it is the best ecommerce platform available right now. It handles payments, inventory, shipping, and scaling without friction, and gives you a genuinely great CMS to manage your store day to day. We can also build on WooCommerce if you are already invested in WordPress or need tighter content integration. Whatever the platform, we will tell you honestly what is right for your situation rather than recommending what is easiest for us to build.

Yes. We handle migrations from legacy platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Magento, older Shopify themes) to modern, well-structured stores. This includes migrating products, collections, customer data, order history, and redirecting all existing URLs so you do not lose your search rankings in the process. We test thoroughly before going live.

Every project is scoped individually, but a typical ecommerce build covers: platform setup and configuration, custom design and theme development, product catalogue structure, payment gateway integration, shipping rules and fulfilment setup, SEO foundations (URLs, metadata, schema), and handover training so you can manage the store yourself. We can also integrate with third-party tools such as inventory management systems, booking platforms, and CRMs.

You do not always need to supply everything yourself. We can source high-quality stock imagery, and where appropriate we use the latest AI image generation tools to produce commercial-grade visuals tailored to your brand and products. If you have your own photography, great - we will structure it for maximum impact. For existing product data, we can import it in bulk and reformat it to fit your new store.

The best first step is a free discovery call. We will ask about your products, your goals, and what you need the store to do - then put together a clear proposal based on what actually makes sense for your business. Get in touch through our contact page and we will take it from there.

Yes. We offer monthly growth retainers that cover ongoing updates, SEO improvements, conversion optimisation, and technical support. These are flexible, you can scale up or down with 30 days notice. If you prefer ad-hoc support rather than a retainer, we can quote individual updates as one-off projects.
