eCommerce Agency Leeds
Not your average eCommerce agency.
If your online store looks the part but sales aren’t matching the traffic, the issue is rarely the products. It’s usually the site architecture, checkout flow, or platform choice underneath it. We design and develop ecommerce websites for brands across Leeds and Yorkshire who want a store built to convert, not just one that’s live and technically functioning.
We’ve worked across a wide range of ecommerce projects. New stores launching from scratch, established retailers migrating from an ageing platform, and a fair number of rebuilds where the original site had outgrown whatever it was built on. The work below covers the parts of an eCommerce build that tend to get overlooked when agencies focus purely on design: platform selection, how product and customer data actually moves, checkout and payment setup, and whether the finished store is fast and structured well enough to be found in search.
Our brilliant clients.
Platform Selection and Custom eCommerce Development.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, BigCommerce – each suits a different type of business, and picking the wrong one tends to cause problems two years down the line rather than immediately. We advise on platform choice based on catalogue size, order volume, and the systems you already run, then build the store properly on that platform rather than forcing a generic template to do a job it wasn’t designed for. Where the platform’s native functionality doesn’t stretch far enough, we develop custom features directly rather than stacking apps and plugins on top.
Ecommerce Platform Migration
Moving a store from one platform to another, or off a dated custom build entirely, is one of the riskiest jobs in ecommerce if it’s handled carelessly. Product data, customer accounts, order history, and URL structure all need to transfer cleanly. We manage the full migration: data mapping between platforms, 301 redirects to protect existing search rankings, and a staged go-live so the store isn’t down, or worse, half-broken, during the switch.
Payment Gateway and Checkout Optimisation
Checkout is where most ecommerce revenue quietly leaks away, usually through friction nobody’s bothered to measure. We set up and configure payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, and others depending on your market), streamline the checkout flow to cut unnecessary steps, and make sure mobile checkout, where a large share of ecommerce traffic actually converts or doesn’t, isn’t an afterthought.
Inventory, ERP and Systems Integration
An eCommerce site rarely operates in isolation, stock levels, order fulfilment, and customer data usually need to sync with systems you’re already running. We integrate stores with inventory management platforms, ERP systems, and fulfilment providers, so stock counts stay accurate and orders don’t need manual re-entry between systems that should already be talking to each other.
Site Speed and Conversion Rate Optimisation
A slow product page loses customers before they’ve seen the product. We optimise page speed against Core Web Vitals, audit the buying journey from landing page through to checkout, and run structured CRO testing, because a fast site with a confusing product page still won’t convert, and a beautiful site that takes six seconds to load never gets the chance to.
eCommerce growth and ongoing support.
Getting the store built is only part of the job. Growing it afterwards is the rest. That means technical and eCommerce SEO baked in from the start rather than fixed retrospectively, alongside a digital strategy that ties together paid advertising, social media, influencer partnerships, and digital PR so the store isn’t relying on one channel doing all the work. We also run ongoing CRO to keep improving how the site converts once traffic’s arriving, plus website maintenance to handle updates, platform changes, and the odd thing that breaks without warning. Being Leeds-based, we’re happy to talk any of this through in person rather than over email.
We make work that works and this is how we do it.
