An online store that's simple to shop and simple to run.
Selling online adds a layer most websites don't have: products, stock, payments, and orders. We build stores that keep that layer manageable, using established payment providers to handle the money.
E-commerce is for
- Shops and makers selling physical products online
- Businesses adding online ordering to an existing site
- Brands that want a store designed around their products rather than a stock theme
What a store typically includes
Product catalog
Collections and categories that make products easy to browse.
Product pages
Photos, descriptions, options like size or color, and clear pricing.
Cart and checkout
A short, mobile-friendly checkout without unnecessary steps.
Payment integration
Connected to a payment provider such as Stripe, Square, or PayPal.
Order workflow
Order notifications and a way to see and manage what's been bought.
Content management
Add products, change prices, and update stock without a developer.
Choosing the right setup
Some stores are best built on a hosted commerce platform that manages products and checkout for you. Others work well as a custom storefront connected to a payment provider. The right choice depends on your number of products, how you fulfil orders, and how much you want to manage yourself.
We'll recommend an approach during scoping and explain the ongoing costs involved, including platform or payment fees, before you commit.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online store cost?
E-commerce is quoted individually because the work varies a lot with the number of products, shipping and tax rules, and integrations. We'll scope it with you and confirm the price before work starts.
Which payment providers can you connect?
Common choices include Stripe, Square, and PayPal. We'll recommend one based on how and where you sell.
Can I add products myself?
Yes. Stores are set up so you can manage products, prices, and stock without code.
