Website design and development
We design and build websites on a custom stack. Fast, editable by your team, hosted wherever you like, and yours to take elsewhere if you ever want to.

Storefronts with the payment, tax and shipping logic your market needs
Selling across borders is mostly a logic problem, not a design one. We build the parts that decide what a customer is charged and when it ships.
The problem
What usually goes wrong
- The theme looks fine but the checkout loses people at the shipping step, because rates are guessed at rather than calculated.
- Tax is hard-coded for one country, so the first overseas order creates a problem for the finance team rather than a sale.
- Stock lives in a spreadsheet and the site does not know about it, so oversells get discovered by the customer.
- Every extra requirement means another plugin, and now the site takes nine seconds to load.
Our approach
How we approach it
We start with the commercial rules — where you ship, what you charge, how tax is handled, what happens when stock runs out — because those decide the architecture. Then we pick the platform to fit, rather than fitting your business to a platform.
Scope
What is included
01
Platform selection
WooCommerce, Shopify or a custom cart, chosen against your catalogue size and rules, with the trade-offs written down.
02
Payments
Gateway integration with the currencies and methods your buyers actually use, not just cards.
03
Tax and shipping logic
Rules per region, live carrier rates where they exist, and sensible fallbacks where they do not.
04
Catalogue and inventory
Product data structure, variants, and integration with whatever holds your stock today.
05
Checkout optimisation
Fewer steps, fewer fields, and guest checkout on by default.
06
Order operations
Notifications, invoices, returns and the admin screens your team will live in.

Questions
Before you get in touch
Shopify if you want the platform to handle payments, hosting and compliance and your rules are ordinary. WooCommerce if your rules are unusual or you need the data in your own database. We will tell you which one your requirements point to, including when that is neither.
Yes. The harder question is whether prices are converted live or set per market, and that is a commercial decision we will walk through with you before building anything.
Usually. Products, customers and order history can normally be moved. URLs need a redirect map or you lose the rankings the old store earned.

Most businesses run on a spreadsheet that three people understand and nobody trusts. We replace those with something auditable that the whole team can use.

Most sites that do not rank have a specific, findable reason. Diagnosing it is the first job — before anyone talks about keywords or content.
