Web Design
Ecommerce websites that sell, and that you actually own
Online shops built on WooCommerce, designed to convert and fast enough to keep customers from leaving. No monthly platform fees skimming every sale, no rented storefront. You own it outright.
An online shop is a serious build. It should be treated like one.
Selling online is not the same as having a website with a few products bolted on. A real ecommerce site has to handle payments securely, manage stock, calculate shipping and tax, recover abandoned baskets, and stay fast while doing all of it. Get any of that wrong and it costs you sales directly, every single day.
I build online shops on WooCommerce, one of the most established ecommerce platforms there is, using Bricks Builder for a clean, fast front end. That combination gives you a shop you fully own, with no per-sale platform fees, complete control over how it looks and works, and the room to add upsells, subscriptions, memberships, or anything else your business needs as it grows.
I am based in Falkirk and work with businesses across the UK. Whether you are launching your first shop, moving off a platform like Shopify or Wix that is eating into your margins, or rebuilding a slow WooCommerce site that has become a liability, I build it properly. For shops that mainly need plugins and content rather than a storefront, see WordPress websites.
What goes into a shop that actually works
Every store is different, but the foundations are the same. Here is what I set up so yours is ready to take orders from day one.
Payments done right
Stripe, PayPal, and card payments set up securely, so customers can check out with confidence and you get paid without friction.
Products, stock, and shipping
Clean product pages, categories that make sense, stock management, shipping zones and rates, tax, and discount codes. The day-to-day running sorted properly.
Built to convert
Fast pages, clear calls to action, trust signals, and a checkout that does not lose people. Design choices made to turn browsers into buyers, not just look pretty.
Room to grow revenue
Upsells, cross-sells, related products, and affiliate or subscription setups when you need them. The kind of features that lift average order value over time.
WooCommerce, built with Bricks
Own your shop instead of renting it
Hosted platforms like Shopify are quick to start, but you rent the store, you pay monthly fees, and many plans take a cut of every sale. As you grow, that adds up fast, and you never actually own the thing your business runs on.
With WooCommerce you own the shop outright. No per-sale platform fees, no being locked into one company's ecosystem, and full control over every part of the experience. Built on Bricks, it stays fast and clean instead of the bloated mess most WordPress shops become.
No platform fees on your sales
Keep your margins. You pay for hosting and payment processing, not a percentage of every order to a platform.
Speed that protects sales
Shoppers abandon slow sites. A Bricks-built WooCommerce store loads fast, which protects both conversions and your Google rankings.
Total flexibility
Custom post types, content alongside the shop, memberships, upsells, affiliate tools. If the business needs it, WooCommerce can do it.

Bizarre But True
Ecommerce and content platform
A complex WooCommerce build for a former Hastings museum going fully online: a full online store for branded merchandise, custom post types for magazine and video content, a custom interactive slider, and upsell and affiliate integrations. Built entirely in Bricks after the client had been let down by four previous developers.
"After 2+ years of bad experiences with developers and 4 failed website projects, this was my last try. What I've now got is far in excess of what I originally envisioned."
