Platform-agnostic ecommerce builds for Derby retailers. Shopify, WooCommerce or custom — we recommend based on fit, not commission. Fixed-price from £1,800.
We are platform-agnostic — we will not push you onto Shopify because it suits us or WooCommerce because we have a template ready. We pick the platform that fits your products, margins, integrations and team.
Most Derby retailers find themselves choosing between three real options: Shopify for speed and simplicity, WooCommerce for flexibility and zero transaction fees, or a fully custom-built platform for unusual business models. This page covers all three — book a discovery call and we will tell you honestly which one suits your business.

Typical build timeline
From first stores to enterprise replatforms — what we deliver across Derby, the East Midlands and the UK.
Custom-themed Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. Best for low maintenance and fast checkout. Full details on our Shopify developer Derby page.
WooCommerce for businesses wanting full control over checkout, no transaction fees and deep WordPress integration. See WordPress developer Derby.
For retailers whose business model does not fit Shopify or WooCommerce — subscription boxes, marketplaces, B2B portals. Built in Laravel. See web app development Derby.
Replatform from Wix, Squarespace, EKM, Magento, BigCommerce, OpenCart or PrestaShop. Full SEO preservation. See our Shopify migration guide.
Most Derby retailers already have a store — it just is not converting. We rebuild storefronts focused on mobile UX, checkout simplification and product page conversion. Typical lift: 15–35% in 90 days.
A new store is the start, not the finish. Ongoing SEO from our Derby agency, Google Shopping management and CRO testing turn a working store into a growing business.
We are asked this constantly. Here is the honest version.
You sell mostly DTC, you have 50–10,000 SKUs, you do not need fully bespoke checkout logic, you want low maintenance and your team is non-technical. Most Derby retail clients land here.
You already run on WordPress, you need complex B2B pricing rules, you want zero transaction fees beyond payment processing, you need full control over every page and checkout step.
Your business model is genuinely unusual — multi-vendor marketplaces, complex subscription logic, regulated products with verification, rentals, or B2B quote-to-cash workflows.
