Web design for shops and online stores

Independent shops win on character and service. An online shop that carries both, and sells while you sleep.

(01) What it needs

What a shop’s website needs.

Shoppers compare independent shops with the big names on convenience, so an online shop has to be quick, clear and trustworthy: good photos, honest stock, delivery costs up front and a checkout that works on a phone.

What the big names can’t copy is your character and your service. A good independent shop site carries both, with the story behind your products and options like local delivery and click and collect.

  1. 01

    Products that sell

    Clear photos, honest descriptions, sizes and stock, and related products that lift the basket.

  2. 02

    Delivery and collection

    Delivery rates up front, local delivery by postcode and click and collect from the shop.

  3. 03

    A checkout that works

    Card and phone wallets, fast on a phone, with order emails that look like your brand.

(02) The rules

What it must get right.

  1. 01

    14 days to cancel

    Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, online shoppers can usually cancel within 14 days of receiving their goods, and your returns policy must say so.

  2. 02

    Your business details

    Online shops must show the business name, a geographic address and contact details.

  3. 03

    The full price up front

    Prices must include VAT, delivery costs must be clear before checkout, and compulsory fees can’t be added at the end.

A guide, not legal advice: we build the site to fit the rules you work under, and you confirm the details that are yours.
