Ecommerce website design

An online store lives or dies on the checkout, not the homepage banner.

We build ecommerce sites around the parts that cost you sales when they go wrong: finding products, page speed and a checkout that doesn’t make customers think twice.

The job of the site

Designed around how people actually buy.

A striking homepage won’t help if shoppers can’t find the product, the category page loads slowly, or the checkout makes them hesitate. Those are the points where sales are lost, so that is where we spend the effort.

Category and product pages are structured for both search and shoppers, with clean headings, useful filters and fast-loading images. We then test the checkout flow for drop-off points before launch.

What you get

What goes into an ecommerce website.

01

Checkout flow tested before launch

We look for the points where a buyer might give up, and fix them before real customers reach them.

02

Product and category pages structured for search

Clean headings and page structure help both search engines and shoppers understand what you sell.

03

Filtering and search for your catalogue

Filters and search are set up around how people browse your products.

04

Speed-optimised images and inventory handling

Product images and catalogue pages are prepared to load quickly, including on a phone.

Who it suits

A good fit if this sounds like you.

Shops moving online

You sell in person or through social media and want your own store.

Stores losing sales at checkout

You get visitors, but too many leave before they finish buying.

Growing catalogues

Your range has outgrown a simple layout, and customers struggle to find things.

How it works

How we build your store.

01

Tell us what you sell

Share your range, how you deliver and how customers should pay.

02

Plan the shopping journey

We map how a customer moves from search or category page to a finished order.

03

Design and build

We build the pages and the checkout, then shape them with you over two rounds of revisions.

04

Test and launch

We test the checkout and check speed with Google PageSpeed Insights before launch.

Questions

Ecommerce website questions.

What support do I get after launch?

Support is available after launch from a team that already knows your store, so you can stay focused on selling.

Tell us on the quote form which methods you need, and we will confirm what is possible for your store before you commit.

Yes. We test the store, including checkout, on phone screens as well as desktops.

It depends on your catalogue and features. Send a brief through the quote form and we will reply with a real number.
