Ecommerce Web Design & Development
AR Web Studios builds UK online stores that load fast, rank well and turn browsers into buyers — on Shopify, WooCommerce or a fully custom Stripe storefront.
Built to sell
Storefronts designed around conversion — clear product pages, fast search and a checkout that doesn't lose customers.
Payments done right
Stripe, Shopify Payments, PayPal and Apple Pay configured, tested and secured before you go live.
Shipping & stock
Rates, zones, tax rules and inventory synced so orders flow without manual work.
SEO & analytics
Product schema, indexable collections and full sales tracking so you can see what actually drives revenue.
Choosing the right platform
We recommend the platform that fits your catalogue and how you actually run the business — not the one that's easiest for us to build.
Shopify
Hosted, reliable and quick to launch. Best for growing retailers who want a huge app ecosystem and minimal maintenance.
WooCommerce
Full control on WordPress. Best if you already run a WordPress site or need custom data and checkout logic.
Custom + Stripe
A bespoke storefront when off-the-shelf platforms get in the way — subscriptions, quoting, or unusual product rules.
What every store includes
- Custom storefront design — no stock themes
- Shopify, WooCommerce or custom Stripe builds
- Secure checkout and payment setup
- Product, collection and search filtering
- Product & Offer schema for rich results
- Shipping, tax and inventory configuration
- Abandoned cart and email integrations
- Analytics, conversion and sales tracking
Ecommerce FAQs
How much does ecommerce web design cost in the UK?
Most online stores we build fall between £1,200 and £4,000 depending on product count, integrations and custom features. Larger or highly bespoke builds are quoted on request, and ongoing care plans start at £75 per month.
Do you build on Shopify or WooCommerce?
Both. Shopify suits businesses that want hosted, low-maintenance selling with strong app support. WooCommerce suits WordPress-based businesses that want full control over data and checkout. We also build fully custom storefronts with Stripe when neither fits.
Can you migrate my existing online store?
Yes. We migrate products, customers, orders and URLs, and set up 301 redirects so you keep the search rankings you already have.
Will my store be SEO-friendly?
Every store ships with product and collection schema, clean URL structures, optimised metadata, a sitemap and fast Core Web Vitals so your products can be indexed and ranked from launch.
How long does an ecommerce build take?
A focused store with a small catalogue typically takes one to two weeks. Larger catalogues, migrations and custom integrations usually run two to four weeks.
