Case study
How I built Custom Van Racking on Shopify: logo, content, category structure, graphics and blog content to support the store as it grows.
Shopify handles hosting, security, SSL and card payment compliance, so you don't have to. Payments through Shopify Payments, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay work from day one, every theme works on a phone, and shipping, stock and orders are all built in. The app store covers email marketing, reviews, subscriptions and loyalty schemes. For most businesses that mainly want to sell products, it's the simplest platform to run day to day. See Shopify vs WordPress for a small business.
It isn't right for everyone. If your shop is a small part of a content-heavy site, or you sell bookings, complicated made-to-order products or need full control of the server, WooCommerce can be the better choice. I'll tell you which fits before you spend anything.
I'm based in Blackburn and build online shops for businesses in Blackburn, Darwen and across Lancashire, as well as the rest of the UK. Everything is sorted by WhatsApp, text or email wherever you are, and the packages and prices are the same. For brochure sites rather than shops, see web design in Blackburn.
Shopify is good for search out of the box, but most stores waste it. Collection pages are your category landing pages, so each one needs a proper title and an introduction that says what's in it, not just a grid of products. Product descriptions should be written for the product, not copied from the supplier, because the same text on fifty other stores gives Google no reason to choose yours. A short blog that answers buyers' questions earns traffic that ads would otherwise have to pay for.
I set all of that up at launch. For the reasons stores don't show up, read why your Shopify store isn't showing up on Google.
Moving from WooCommerce, Magento or Etsy is mostly careful bookkeeping. Products, variants, images, collections, customers and content are carried across. Every old page address is matched to its new one with a permanent redirect, so links and rankings follow you instead of ending in a 404. Payments, shipping and tax settings are rebuilt and tested before the switch, and the old store stays up until the new one is ready.
I'll recommend as few apps as possible, because each one adds cost and can slow the store down. The usual ones are Klaviyo or Mailchimp for email, Judge.me for reviews and ReCharge for subscriptions. When an app doesn't do what you need, such as sending orders to a warehouse or invoices to Xero, that's custom API work, built and quoted separately.

Custom Van Racking was a Starter build: a free theme in their branding, a clear collection structure, products added and shipping configured, with blog content to support it. WeConvert launched on Shopify as a Professional build, with a logo, custom design work, collections, on-page content and analytics.
Your Shopify plan, paid to Shopify directly, plus any paid apps you choose and card processing fees on each sale. After the first 3 months, the care plan is optional, from £20 a month, and covers product updates, theme tweaks, a monthly check and email support.
Most stores are live within 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the package and how quickly products and photos come together. Large catalogues and custom builds take longer, and you get a date with the quote.
Shopify if you want hosting, security and updates handled for you and straightforward product selling. WooCommerce if you need lots of content alongside the shop, full control of your hosting, or complex products such as bookings. I'll tell you honestly which suits you.
Yes. Products, collections, customers and content come across, and every old address is redirected to its new page so you keep your Google rankings. Migration from WooCommerce, Magento or Etsy is part of the custom build.
Starter includes up to 10 products and Professional up to 20. For bigger catalogues I import products from a spreadsheet, which is quicker and tidier than adding them one at a time.
Yes. You get a handover showing you how to add products, run sales, manage orders and change the homepage, and the store is yours.
Every store launches with titles, descriptions, a sensible collection structure and Search Console set up. Ranking for competitive product searches takes time and good product content, so I'll tell you what's realistic for your market.
