Built around how you sell
Sell online with a WooCommerce website built around your business
A useful online shop has to do much more than display products. It needs to help customers understand what they are buying, choose the right option, pay securely and complete an order without unnecessary friction.
We build WooCommerce online shops for businesses across West Sussex using WordPress. Your shop can sit alongside your main website, service pages, useful content and local landing pages in one manageable system.
WooCommerce online store
A WordPress eCommerce setup that keeps products, content and shop management in one place.
Secure online payments
Accept supported card payments and connect trusted options such as Stripe and PayPal.
Product management
Add and update products, categories, prices, descriptions, images and product information from WordPress.
Delivery and collection
Set shipping methods, delivery zones, collection options or other fulfilment choices that fit your business.

Premium hosting included
Premium WordPress hosting is included with website packages, giving the store a managed home from launch.
Store features
What can your online shop include?
Every store is different. The right setup depends on your products, fulfilment process and the amount of control you need over stock, pricing and customer orders.
Product variations
Sell different sizes, colours, finishes, quantities or other selectable options from the same product page.
Stock control
Track availability and stock levels so customers have clearer information about what can be ordered.
Coupons and discounts
Create promotional codes and offers to support campaigns, seasonal activity and returning customers.
Customer accounts
Allow customers to create accounts, view orders and return more easily for future purchases where appropriate.
Order management
Manage customer orders, payment status and fulfilment from your WooCommerce dashboard.
VAT and tax settings
Configure relevant VAT and tax settings around the products and selling requirements you provide.
Customer journey
Make it easier to move from product search to completed order
Customers judge an online store quickly. If categories are confusing, product details are thin or checkout feels awkward, the sale can disappear even when the product itself is right.
We structure the shop around clear product discovery, useful information and a straightforward route to payment. The aim is to remove avoidable friction rather than add unnecessary features.
Practical eCommerce
Your online shop needs more than a checkout button
A strong eCommerce website needs to support the full buying process: finding a product, understanding the options, paying securely, choosing delivery and receiving a clear order confirmation.
We also think about the admin side. Product updates, stock changes and order handling need to stay manageable once the shop is live, otherwise a store can quickly become a burden rather than a sales asset.
Store management
What happens after an order is placed?
The customer-facing shop is only half the job. WooCommerce also gives you a structured way to manage products and orders behind the scenes.
Customer places an order
The customer selects products, chooses available options and completes payment through the checkout.
Order details are recorded
WooCommerce stores the order information, payment status and customer details in your WordPress dashboard.
You prepare fulfilment
You can review the order and handle dispatch, delivery or collection according to the setup used by your business.
Stock stays organised
Where stock management is enabled, product availability can be updated as orders are processed.
Choosing the platform
Is WooCommerce right for your business?
WooCommerce is a strong option when you want your online store and wider website to work together in WordPress. It gives you control over products, content and ongoing website growth without separating the shop from the rest of your online presence.
It is particularly useful for businesses that need a flexible catalogue, product variations, stock control, different delivery choices and room to develop the site over time.
New online
shops
Starting from scratch lets us plan your online shop properly before products are added. We can shape the catalogue, checkout, payments and delivery journey around how your business needs to sell from the beginning.
Existing
websites
Starting with an existing website lets us build WooCommerce into what you already have. We can improve the catalogue, checkout, payments and order journey while keeping the wider WordPress website working together.
Local website support
Why choose Web Design in Horsham?
We combine website build, hosting and ongoing support, so you have a local team to speak to when the shop needs attention after launch.

Before the build starts
A better online shop starts with the right questions
The more clearly we understand your products and fulfilment process, the easier it is to build a store that works properly from day one.
Connected website services
Build the shop as part of a stronger website
An online store rarely works in isolation. Supporting pages, hosting, business email and ongoing website help all contribute to how professional and manageable the wider site feels.
