Choosing a platform
Shopify or WooCommerce?
Both are solid ways to run a small business store. The right one depends on how much you want to manage yourself.
Shopify
A hosted store platform: you pay Shopify a monthly plan and Shopify runs the hosting and the software updates.
- Quick to launch and simple to manage
- Apps from the Shopify App Store for extra features
- A good fit if you want to focus on selling, not on the website
WooCommerce
A free store plugin for WordPress: it runs on your own WordPress hosting, so you control the site and its data.
- Adds a store to a WordPress site you already have
- Full control over design, features and data
- Needs hosting, such as our WordPress hosting

Ecommerce Store Development FAQs
Ecommerce Stores
How much does an ecommerce store cost?
Each store is quoted per project. The price depends on the platform, how many products and variants you have, how much design work the theme needs and whether we are moving an existing store. You get a written quote after a scoping call.
Should I choose Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits you if you want a hosted store that is quick to launch and simple to manage, for a monthly Shopify plan. WooCommerce suits you if you already have a WordPress site or want full control over the store and its data, on your own hosting. We help you choose during the scoping call.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We move your products to the new platform and set up redirects so old product links keep working. Whether customer accounts and past orders can move too depends on the two platforms; we check that before we quote.
Do you set up payments?
Yes. You open the payment account in your business’s name with the provider you choose, and we connect it to the store and test the checkout before launch.
Will my store show up on Google?
We set up the basics: page titles and descriptions, clean product URLs, sized images and a sitemap. Ranking well takes ongoing work; see our SEO services.
Can you host a WooCommerce store?
Yes. WooCommerce runs on WordPress, and our WordPress hosting plans include one for demanding websites and ecommerce. Shopify stores are hosted by Shopify.
