Why a copied template loses sales
An online store often has to solve for things a generic template does not: local payment methods, cash on delivery in some markets, WhatsApp as a real sales channel, and delivery zones that vary by region. A store copied from a template usually loses sales at checkout because it was not built around how your actual customers buy.
We build or set up stores on platforms suited to your scale, from Shopify for most retail brands to custom builds for stores with unusual catalogue or logistics needs.
What's included
Post-launch support
Fixes, updates and improvements after the store goes live.
WhatsApp and social selling
Store integration with WhatsApp for order confirmation and support.
Platform selection and setup
Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build, chosen based on your catalogue and budget.
Product catalogue and SEO setup
Products structured and optimised so they can be found in search.
Store design
A storefront built for conversion, not just appearance.
Payment and logistics integration
Local payment gateways and delivery workflows set up correctly.
Doing business in Manchester
Manchester's growth over the past decade has been led by MediaCityUK and a fintech scene that's grown up in the shadow of, rather than in competition with, London. Businesses here tend to be less brand-cautious than their London counterparts and more willing to test creative that a bigger, more conservative company might reject.
Who this is for
Fashion and beauty retailers with catalogue-heavy stores, food and grocery brands needing fast checkout, electronics sellers needing detailed specifications, and D2C brands built for repeat purchase.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Manchester?
No. We serve Manchester businesses remotely from our offices in Islamabad and Arlington, Virginia, with calls in your business hours and written weekly updates.
What do you need from me to start?
Your product catalogue, preferred payment and delivery methods, and any existing store you want migrated or rebuilt.
Can you migrate my existing store to a new platform?
Yes, we handle migrations from one platform to another, including products, orders and customer data.
Do you also run ads for the store?
Yes, once the store is live we can run Meta and Google ads to drive traffic and sales directly to it.
How do projects run with a Manchester business?
Scope, milestones and price are agreed in writing first. Work then runs in short cycles with demos over video, so you see progress every week or two.
Shopify or WooCommerce, which is better?
It depends on your catalogue size, budget and how much customisation you need. See our blog comparing the two for the trade-offs.
Do you build custom stores outside Shopify and WooCommerce?
Yes, for catalogues or logistics needs that a standard platform cannot handle well.
Can you set up local payment methods and cash on delivery?
Yes, including the confirmation and follow-up steps that reduce return and non-collection rates where COD is used.
