Hosting and Maintenance
Our fully managed hosting and maintenance packages provide total peace of mind that the uptime and security of your ecommerce website are being monitored and maintained by an experienced team.
Leading Ecommerce Solutions
There are a wide range of ecommerce platforms to choose from, from hosted solutions such as Shopify to self-hosted software like WooCommerce. We have experience of a range of solutions and can talk you through the benefits of each.
Shopify: Hosted Ecommerce
Shopify is a hosted ecommerce solution, giving you control of a series of templates to customise the look and feel of your store. Off-the-shelf apps from Shopify developers extend the core functionality and allow you to add new features.
The Shopify API allows more bespoke development, including integrating Shopify with a website built on a different platform. Checkout still takes place via the secure Shopify pages, ensuring customers have a streamlined and optimised experience.
WooCommerce: Self-Hosted Ecommerce
WooCommerce is the official ecommerce extension of WordPress and is used as a self-hosted solution, giving full control of the underlying code. WooCommerce works with custom WordPress themes, allowing a fully bespoke website design and build.
Further functionality can also be added via plugins, whether off-the-shelf or developed specifically for the store. Since a WooCommerce site is built on WordPress, it provides intuitive content management of body products and website content in one place.
