02 What you get

A store built to sell, not just to look the part.

01

Designed around the sale

We map the path from first click to checkout, then design around it. Clear product pages, obvious add-to-cart steps and a look that builds trust, so shoppers know what they are buying and how to pay within seconds, not minutes.

02

WooCommerce or Shopify, your choice

We build on the platform that fits how you actually run your business. WooCommerce when you want full ownership and no monthly platform fee, Shopify when you want it hosted and hands-off. Either way you own your store and can manage products, prices and orders yourself.

03

Fast, mobile-first checkout

Most of your shoppers are on a phone, so that is where we start. Pages load quickly, the basket and checkout read well on any screen, and we cut the friction that quietly loses sales. A slow store abandons carts, so we do not ship one.

04

Built to be found on Google

Every product and category page is built with search in mind: clean structure, sensible headings, proper titles and the technical groundwork that helps you climb. Want to go further on ecommerce SEO? Our SEO services take it from there.

05

Payments, shipping and stock wired in

Card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay, Irish and international shipping rules, stock control and order emails, all set up and tested before you go live. Selling was never about a pretty homepage, so we make sure the plumbing behind it just works.

06

Set up to grow after launch

Launch day is the start, not the finish. We can keep your store secure, backed up and updated on a care plan quoted to suit, and many clients carry on with us to drive traffic through Google Ads and grow orders month on month. One team who knows your store, not a ticket queue.

05 Common questions

Ecommerce, answered plainly.

The questions Irish business owners ask us most before they start selling online.

How much does an ecommerce website cost in Ireland?

An online store costs more than a standard brochure site because there is more to build: product pages, payments, shipping and stock all need setting up and testing. Most small business stores fall into a clear range, and we give you a fixed price up front with no surprise add-ons. For a full breakdown of what drives the price, see our web design cost guide for Ireland.

WooCommerce or Shopify, which is right for me?

Both are excellent, they just suit different owners. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so you own everything and pay no monthly platform fee, which works well if you want full control. Shopify is hosted and hands-off, which suits owners who want fewer moving parts. We will look at how you run your business and recommend the one that fits, not just the one we prefer.

How long does it take to build an online store?

A typical small business store takes around six to ten weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on how many products you have and how quickly we get your content and images. Bigger catalogues take longer. We agree the timeline with you before we start, so there are no moving goalposts.

Can you move my existing store to a new site?

Yes. If your current store works but looks dated or is not converting, we can redesign it and migrate your products, orders and customers across carefully, keeping the URLs that already rank so you do not lose your Google positions. If it is slow or built on something we cannot safely work with, a fresh build on WooCommerce or Shopify pays off faster. We will give you an honest answer either way.

Will my products show up on Google?

We build every store to be search-ready: fast, mobile-first, cleanly structured, with proper product titles and the technical groundwork behind them. That gives you the best possible start. Ranking product and category pages for competitive terms then comes down to ongoing work, which is where our SEO services and Google Ads come in.

What happens after the store goes live?

A care plan, quoted to suit, keeps it secure, backed up and updated, and we are here when you want a change or a new product line added. Many clients also carry on with us for SEO and Google Ads to keep orders growing. There is no lock-in, just one team who already knows your store. You can see the full picture across our services.
