WooCommerce Store Development

A fast, secure WooCommerce online store that you fully own, with a smooth checkout, sensible extensions and room to grow.

WooCommerce lets you run an online store on software you own, with no store-platform subscription tier deciding what you can do, and the freedom to customise almost anything. We build WooCommerce stores that are fast, secure and easy to manage, with a checkout designed to get customers from basket to confirmation with as little friction as possible.

Who it is for#

  • Independent retailers and makers launching their first online shop.
  • Businesses moving from a hosted platform that want more control, flexibility or ownership of their data.
  • Existing WordPress sites that want to add products, bookings or digital downloads.
  • Store owners with a slow or unreliable WooCommerce site who would benefit from a clean rebuild.

What is included#

  • Discovery: products, customers, fulfilment, payments, taxes and integrations.
  • UX and visual design for the home page, category pages, product pages, basket, checkout and account area, with two rounds of revisions.
  • Custom store theme built for performance and the block editor.
  • Catalogue setup for up to 50 products, including categories, attributes and variations.
  • Payment gateway configuration with your chosen provider.
  • Tax and shipping setup: zones, methods and rates based on your requirements.
  • Checkout optimisation: fewer fields, clear errors, guest checkout and accessible forms.
  • Transactional emails styled to match your brand.
  • Core pages such as About, Contact, FAQ and policy pages.
  • Performance: efficient templates, image optimisation and caching that respects carts and checkout.
  • Security hardening and a minimal, well-maintained extension set.
  • Technical SEO, including product structured data and an XML sitemap.
  • Analytics and e-commerce tracking.
  • Training on managing products, orders, coupons and reports, plus written documentation.

Process and timeline#

A typical WooCommerce store takes six to ten weeks. Catalogue size, integrations and data quality have the biggest influence on the schedule.

  1. Discovery and proposal (weeks 1–2): requirements, extension choices, payment and shipping plan.
  2. Design (weeks 2–4): store structure and key templates, with your feedback.
  3. Development and configuration (weeks 4–8): theme, catalogue, payments, shipping, taxes and emails on staging.
  4. QA and test orders (weeks 8–9): end-to-end purchase testing in sandbox mode, accessibility and performance checks.
  5. Launch (weeks 9–10): go-live, live payment test, monitoring and handover.

See our process page for more detail on each phase.

What we need from you#

  • Product data: names, descriptions, prices, variations, SKUs and images, ideally in a spreadsheet.
  • Your shipping rules, tax requirements and any fulfilment partners.
  • An account with your chosen payment provider, in your business’s name.
  • Store policies, including returns, shipping and privacy information.
  • Brand assets and access to your domain and hosting.

Optional add-ons#

Quoted individually:

  • Large catalogue import or migration from another platform.
  • Subscriptions, memberships or bookings using official extensions.
  • Integrations with inventory, accounting, ERP or shipping services.
  • Multi-currency or multilingual store setup.
  • Custom product configurators or bespoke pricing logic.
  • Ongoing care through our Website Care & Maintenance Plan.

Use the estimator on our pricing page for an indicative figure that includes your add-ons.

Further reading#

A store that is fast on launch day can slow down as products, orders and extensions accumulate. Our guide WooCommerce Performance: How to Keep an Online Store Fast as It Grows explains how we plan for that. When you are ready, contact us and we will reply within one business day.

Can you import a large product catalogue?

Yes. Catalogues larger than the included 50 products can be imported from CSV or migrated from another platform. We quote the import based on the number of products, variations and the condition of the data.

Which payment gateways can I use?

WooCommerce supports many gateways through official and well-maintained extensions, such as Stripe, PayPal and WooPayments where available. We help you choose based on your country, currencies, fees and preferred checkout experience.

Will my store stay fast as it grows?

We design the store with growth in mind, including efficient templates, careful extension choices and caching that respects carts and checkout. As traffic and orders grow, hosting and database care matter too, and we can advise or handle that under a care plan.
