How long does it take to build an online store?
Usually 6–10 weeks. Most of the time goes into preparing products (images, descriptions, prices, stock) and setting up payments and shipping — it goes faster when product data is ready in advance.
Shopify or WooCommerce — what do you recommend?
For most small and medium stores we recommend Shopify: reliable hosting, security and updates are included, and you can run the store yourself. WooCommerce makes sense when you have special custom requirements and your own technical support. Shopify vs WooCommerce comparison
Will I be able to manage products and orders myself?
Yes. After handover we show you how to add products, change prices and stock, and process orders. We can also help with this, or take it over entirely, as part of maintenance.
Is the store ready for Google and AI search engines?
Yes. The store has technical and basic SEO, structured product data and content that AI search engines can read too. This matters because more and more shoppers look for products through ChatGPT and similar assistants. AI search optimisation
