E-commerce & online shop design and development

In my experience, no two ecommerce site's are the same. I will tailor a solution that is best for your circumstances.

I have experience with a Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce and will be able to recommend a solution for you.

Paypal is the leading online payment gateway and is included as standard with online shops that I develop.

You may also want to consider using Stripe, because it allows you to keep users on your site to make payment.

You have to make it easy for users to find the item they want. One way is to create clear and descriptive categories and menus.

For more accurate product filtering I can create a search function and checkbox filters to show the products your customers want.

Your site will be built on top of one of the most secure web application frameworks Laravel. As a result you can be sure your shop and customers details are secure.

If you currently have your product inventory in a spreadsheet, I can use that file to quickly import your products into your new online shop. This saves time and minimises the chance of error.

Offering free delivery can convince customers to stay and make a purchase. You can offer free delivery for every order or have a minimum qualifying order value.

Keeping track of your stock levels via your website can make sure you don’t ever go out of stock. Your online shop will notify you via email when the stock of a product is running low.

Basing your delivery price on the properties of the order is known as “table rate shipping”. Commonly the price will be calculated by the weight, volume or quantity of products in the basket.

Allowing users to create their own account makes it easier for repeat orders for regular customers.

You can store their addresses on your site to save them having to fill in forms.

When you are storing people’s data you need to comply with GDPR. Your site will enable you to erase or export user data upon request for compliance with the law.

Certain types of products will have optional personalization – such as t-shirts or promotional merchandise.

You can enable customers to upload artwork or a photo, or specify an engraving or inscription for the product and add the associated costs to the total.

If you have a number of locations where you have physical shops / stores, I can allow your users to find their closest shop using a postcode or town search and show the nearest locations on a Google Map.

In certain circumstances working out delivery costs can be a more complicated than flat or table rate. In these cases I can write a custom delivery script to calculate the price taking all the factors into consideration.

If you have a physical store where products are being sold, it is important that the stock levels are being synced to the website to provide accurate availability.

Depending on your point of sale provider it is usually possible to sync the website with a datafeed from your in-store stock management system.

Do you run or want to run your online shop using suppliers that deliver your products on your behalf? I can develop your website to automatically send your paid orders to the supplier for dispatch.

If you want to create a promotion on a certain brand, category or a custom selection of products – it can all be done from the admin panel of your site. You can even set a date range so it automatically starts and ends.

Offering a subscription service will allow your customers’ orders to reoccur at a certain time interval. Subscriptions can also be used as a for paid member sites.
