Shopify & e-commerce
By SimonMeasured 4 September 2026
Shopify and WooCommerce stores built around the parts that actually move revenue: product data, search, speed, and a checkout that gets out of the way.
Pricing
from £500
for the build, then from £50 a month hosting & care.
Deliberately competitive. We do not make our money on the build — we make it growing the business the site belongs to.
How pricing worksWhat you get
What the build includes.
Catalogue structure that search engines and shoppers can both navigate
Product data, variants and feeds that Google Merchant Centre accepts — 94.5% approval on Beds.ie
Fast category and product pages, even with thousands of lines
Checkout, delivery and payment options set up to convert rather than confuse
Bespoke features when the platform does not model your business — pick-and-mix, gift lists
Measured, not claimed
What it did for Beds.ie.
A 17,000-product furniture retailer that was effectively invisible in search. Five months of retainer work on catalogue structure, product data and technical SEO took Beds.ie from under 700 organic clicks a month to nearly 8,000 — and monthly revenue more than tripled over the same period.

Locally
Working in Greater Manchester.
Manchester has a deep independent retail scene and a lot of stores that outgrew the platform they started on. The pattern I see most often is not a design problem at all: the shop looks fine and the product data underneath it is a mess, so categories do not rank, the shopping feed is quietly rejecting items, and nobody can say which of those is costing more.
That is the work on Beds.ie — an Irish furniture retailer with more than 17,000 products — and it transfers directly to a Greater Manchester store with two thousand. The catalogue was restructured so it is crawlable, the product data enriched and validated at source, and the Merchant Centre sync wired to report rejections instead of dropping them. Over five months organic clicks went from 672 to 7,781 a month, and 16,281 of 17,233 items are now live in Merchant Centre.
A shop is quoted after a conversation rather than from a price list, because catalogue size changes the nature of the job rather than just its length. Hosting and care is quoted the same way, from £50 a month — a large catalogue costs more to host and look after than a brochure site, and the figure is agreed in writing before anything moves.

Other kinds of build.
All of these sit under web design in Manchester, where the pricing and the process are the same whichever you pick.
Bespoke WordPress builds for businesses that need to update the site themselves — designed properly, built lean, and fast on a phone.
WordPress shops where the way you sell does not fit a stock platform — a thousand lines sold by the gram, a 17,000-product catalogue, a buying journey nobody has built before.
When an off-the-shelf platform will not model your business, we build it properly — Next.js front ends, custom APIs and Supabase back ends, designed to be maintained.
Identity work that holds together everywhere it appears — logo, type, colour and the rules that stop it drifting — built alongside the website, not separately from it.
Rebuilding a site that already has customers is a different job from building one that has none. The traffic it already earns is an asset, and most redesigns lose some of it.
The platform large catalogues end up on, and the one most likely to be running three versions behind because nobody wanted to touch it.
Headless and composable builds
Splitting the shop front from the shop. Genuinely better for some businesses and an expensive mistake for most, and the difference is knowable before you start.
Straight answers
Questions people actually ask.
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify when you want the platform to carry the operational weight; WooCommerce when you need something bespoke or already live on WordPress. Beds.ie and Roch Sweets are WooCommerce with custom systems on top; both would be a poor fit for a stock Shopify theme.
Can you handle a large catalogue?
Beds.ie sells more than 17,000 products. The work there was catalogue structure, product-data enrichment and a Merchant Centre sync that reports rejections instead of hiding them. That is the same discipline applied to any store.
What does an e-commerce build cost?
Websites start from £500, but a store with a large catalogue or a custom buying journey is a bigger job and is quoted after a conversation. Hosting & care is £50 a month regardless.
Do you have a Shopify case study?
Not yet — the e-commerce work published here is WooCommerce, and it would be misleading to imply otherwise. The catalogue, product-data and feed disciplines are platform-independent, and the Merchant Centre guide sets out exactly what that work involves.
