Websites for Retail
Shop websites that bring people through the door
Independent shops need a website that shows why they're worth the trip: what you stock, when you're open, what's new. We design retail sites with the character of the shop — and tell you honestly when a dedicated e-commerce platform would suit you better.
The question in your customer's head
“Do they have what I'm after — and are they open?”
Shoppers check a local shop's site to see what it stocks, when it's open and whether it's worth the journey — or whether they can buy without visiting.
How shoppers choose — and what the site does at each step.
- 01 · Finds
Maps, social media, or a search for a product plus a place.
- 02 · Checks
Range, prices, opening hours, the feel of the shop.
- 03 · Acts
Visits, calls to check stock, or buys online.
What the site has to answer
Four questions, answered before anyone has to ask.
- 1Do you stock what I'm after?
- 2Are you open now?
- 3Can I buy online or reserve?
- 4What's new?

Usual starting point
Starter
£400 setup + £97/month3 pages · 14-day delivery · ex VAT
A shop showing its range, hours and story often fits Starter; Growth gives room for separate category pages. Checkout for more than 50 products is outside our packages.
Worth knowing
- E-commerce checkout for more than 50 products isn't included in any package. If you need a large online shop, we'll say so and scope it separately.
- Keep opening hours identical on your site and your Google Business Profile.
