E‑Commerce Website Development & Consulting in Moreton‑in‑Marsh

Selling your products or services online can open up huge opportunities for your business. I offer end-to-end e-commerce website development and consulting to help small businesses launch and grow successful online stores. Whether you’re starting an online shop from scratch or looking to improve an existing one, I provide the technical skills and strategic guidance to make your e-commerce venture a success.

Online Store Design

I create secure, user-friendly online stores that make it easy for customers to browse and buy. Your e-commerce site will be custom-built to reflect your brand – from consistent logos and colours to a layout that showcases your products in the best light. I pay attention to the entire shopping experience, ensuring that your site is simple to navigate, with clear product categories, search functionality, and an intuitive checkout process (no one likes a frustrating checkout!).

Platforms & Technology

I work with popular e-commerce platforms like WooCommerce (for WordPress) and Shopify, among others, choosing the solution that best fits your needs. WooCommerce is great if you want to integrate a shop into a larger WordPress website (and avoid monthly platform fees), whereas Shopify can be a strong standalone solution for many small retailers. We’ll discuss the pros and cons and pick what makes sense for you. In every case, your online store will have a professional, modern design that builds trust with shoppers. Remember, an online shop means you can reach customers further away than ever before – your business won’t be limited by geography!

What’s Included in E-Commerce Service:

  • Product Catalogue Setup

    I will set up your product listings with care. This includes creating product pages with images, descriptions, prices, and options (like size or colour variants if needed). Whether you have 5 products or 500, I’ll organise them in a logical way (categories, filters, etc.) so customers can easily find what they want.

  • Shopping Cart & Checkout

    Your site will have a smooth shopping cart and checkout process. I integrate reliable payment gateways so you can accept credit/debit cards, PayPal, and other payment methods securely. (Popular options are Stripe, PayPal, or Square – we’ll choose what’s best for you.) The checkout will be SSL-secured, giving customers confidence that their data is safe.

  • Shipping & Tax Configuration

    Selling physical products? I configure shipping options (flat rate, weight-based, local pickup, etc.) and ensure any necessary taxes are applied correctly based on your location and where you sell. The goal is to make fulfilling orders as straightforward as possible for you.

  • Responsive Design

    Just like my brochure sites, e-commerce sites are fully mobile-responsive. Most shoppers will buy directly from their phone or tablet, so I make sure the entire shopping experience (browsing products, adding to cart, checking out) works seamlessly on all devices.

  • E-Commerce SEO

    I’ll apply on-page SEO best practices to your product pages and categories. This includes writing search-friendly product page titles and meta descriptions, using proper headings, and ensuring your site structure is Google-friendly. If you have a local storefront, I can also implement Local SEO tactics so your shop shows up for searches like “your product in Moreton-in-Marsh.” (For more ongoing SEO or broader marketing, see SEO & Local Marketing.)

  • Training & Documentation

    Never managed an online store before? Don’t worry – I provide training. I’ll show you how to add new products, update stock, process orders, and view reports in your store’s dashboard. You’ll also get a simple reference guide for common tasks. My aim is to empower you to run your online business confidently.

  • Continuous Support

    I offer ongoing support packages if you need someone to handle maintenance, security updates, or periodic changes. Even if you don’t opt for a formal maintenance plan, I’m just a phone call or email away if you have questions down the line. Think of me as your on-call e-commerce consultant – here to advise on things like adding new features, improving conversion rates, or planning for seasonal sales.

E-Commerce Consulting

Beyond just building the website, I’m here to advise on e-commerce strategy. Not sure how to structure your product pricing, or wondering how to handle inventory tracking between your physical store and online shop? I can help with that. I’ll share best practices on things like product photography (so your items look great online), writing compelling product descriptions, and even integrating your store with other tools (for example, connecting to your Instagram Shop or setting up email notifications for abandoned carts). If you already have an e-commerce site that isn’t performing as well as you’d like, I can audit it and recommend improvements – whether design tweaks for better user experience or marketing tactics to increase traffic and sales.

My goal is to make launching an online store stress-free for you. I manage the tech stuff, but also make sure you understand what’s going on at each step. For businesses in the Cotswolds with a physical brick-and-mortar store, I understand it’s a big step to go digital. I’ve helped local retailers take that leap successfully. For example, I can integrate inventory management so you won’t accidentally sell an item online that you just sold in your shop. And if you offer services or digital products rather than physical goods, I tailor the e-commerce setup accordingly (online bookings, downloadable content, etc.).

By selling online, your business can reach far beyond your town – you might gain customers from all over the country (or even internationally). I’ll help you navigate the whole process, from initial idea to first online sale.
