Content and commerce, one build you own
WooCommerce lives inside WordPress, so your store, blog and pages are one system you own outright — no platform fees, no lock-in, no per-transaction tax on growth.
You own it
WooCommerce Development
A WooCommerce agency that builds fully custom — content and commerce in one.
Bespoke WooCommerce on WordPress: a checkout built to convert, a catalogue that scales, and content your team already knows how to run.
WooCommerce turns WordPress into a serious store — and when you want content and commerce in one place you own outright, nothing beats it. But most WooCommerce sites are a bought theme with the shop bolted on, which is why so many are slow and clunky. We build custom: a hand-coded theme, a considered product and checkout experience, and Core Web Vitals in the green. You keep the WordPress editor your team is fluent in.
We built Training ByteSize on custom WooCommerce — a course store that sells, on a stack the team runs themselves.

Made in Nantwich
A WooCommerce build, done properly.
Every engagement ships the same standard of work — the tangible things you keep.
A bespoke custom theme

Checkout and cart tuned to convert
A considered path from product to payment — express checkout, clear merchandising and fewer steps, set up to reduce drop-off.
Core Web Vitals in the green
We build to 90+ Lighthouse and green field-data — the opposite of the slow, plugin-laden WooCommerce most people suffer.
A catalogue and content model with ACF
Products, variations and structured content set up so your team adds and edits safely — labelled, sensible, hard to break.
Payments and systems plugged in
Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, shipping, ERP and email wired in cleanly — not a pile of conflicting plugins.

FAQ
WooCommerce development, answered.
The questions we get asked most about building on WooCommerce. Something else on your mind? Just ask.
The basics
WooCommerce lives inside WordPress, so you own the whole platform — store, content and pages — with no monthly platform fee or per-transaction cut. It is the right call when you want content and commerce together, full control, and no lock-in. If you would rather Shopify handled the plumbing, we build bespoke Shopify too, and we will tell you honestly which fits.
We build custom. Most WooCommerce sites are a marketplace theme with the shop switched on, which is why they are slow and awkward. We hand-code a bespoke theme to your design, so the store is fast, distinctive and yours.
Yes. We audit the plugins and the bloat, rebuild on a clean custom theme, and keep your URLs and rankings intact. We measure speed and conversion before and after — recent rebuilds have loaded several times faster.
Working with us
Yes. Your team keeps the WordPress admin they already know. We set up products, variations and content with ACF so adding and editing is safe and simple — no developer needed for day-to-day trading.
Yes. Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, shipping, ERP and email wired in cleanly, plus subscriptions and bookings where you need them — set up properly, not as a pile of conflicting plugins.
