Online stores that
do the work.
Shopify is the right choice for many retailers: hosted, secure, scales without thinking. WooCommerce wins when you need control and custom logic. We'll be honest about which one suits your products, your team and your growth model, not which one we'd rather build on.
// When Shopify wins
Pick Shopify when…
You sell physical products at scale
200+ SKUs, multiple variants, regular launches. Shopify's product management is excellent.
You want zero infrastructure overhead
Hosting, security, SSL, scaling and backups all handled. You manage products and orders; Shopify manages the rest.
You're growing fast (DTC brands)
Shopify Plus handles flash sales, viral launches and 5× year-on-year growth without breaking.
You use the Shopify ecosystem
POS for in-store, Markets for international, Shopify Email, the Shop app, all tightly integrated.
You want app-store-installable features
Subscriptions, bundles, reviews, loyalty: thousands of apps add capability without custom development.
Your team isn't technical
Shopify's admin is genuinely usable by non-developers. WooCommerce's admin is more daunting.
// When WooCommerce fits
Pick WooCommerce when…
You need custom logic
B2B pricing tiers, complex shipping calculators, niche integrations, unusual product types. WooCommerce is more flexible.
You want full control
No platform fees, no transaction fees beyond payment processing, no app subscriptions. Higher upfront, lower ongoing.
Content is central to commerce
If your store is content-led (blog, customer education, recipes, tutorials) WordPress gives you better content tools.
Per-transaction fees matter at your volume
Shopify charges a small per-transaction fee on top of payment processing. At high volume, that adds up.
// What we build
Store projects we take on.
Custom Shopify theme
Bespoke theme on Shopify's OS 2.0 platform. Full visual control, fast performance, future-compatible.
Theme customisation
Start with a strong base theme (Dawn, Sense, Studio, Impact), customise heavily for your brand. Looks bespoke at template cost.
WooCommerce → Shopify
Or BigCommerce, Magento, custom. We've done all of these. Product migration, customer accounts, URL redirects.
Custom Shopify app
When the app store doesn't have what you need: unique workflows or integrations, built on Cloudflare where it fits.
WordPress + WooCommerce
Full-control stores on JezPress managed hosting. E-commerce adds from +$2k to a WordPress build.
Store retainer
Theme tweaks, new sections, app evaluations, performance monitoring: a store partner on call.
Store builds are quoted per scope after a conversation about your products and volume. See pricing for the build and hosting basics, or tell us what you sell.
