Swindon Web Creations – Logo & Branding Design Services

Ecommerce Website Design and Development

Selling online is now standard for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a small local company or an established brand, having a professionally built ecommerce website means your products are always available to buy, from anywhere, at any time. It also helps streamline how you manage your stock, track orders, and communicate with your customers.

We offer ecommerce website design and development services that result in online shops that are easy to use, quick to load, and straightforward to manage. Every ecommerce website we launch is mobile-friendly, secure, and built to help you turn visitors into customers.

What an Ecommerce Website Can Do for Your Business

A professionally developed ecommerce shop website does more than just display your products. It supports your full sales process, simplifies buying for your customers, and gives you better control over how you sell. It can:

Increase your reach – no longer limited by physical location
Sell around the clock – customers can place orders 24/7
Reduce admin – stock, orders, and payments all managed in one place
Improve customer experience – responsive layout, accurate product info, and a smooth checkout
Build loyalty – email updates, marketing tools and personalised offers

An ecommerce website isn’t just about sales – it’s a central part of how modern businesses operate. Customers expect it, and competitors already have it. It’s no longer a “nice to have” – it’s core infrastructure.

Ecommerce Website Features Included as Standard

We provide a full set of ecommerce website development services. Your site will come with:

Product Management

Whether you’ve got ten products or ten thousand, product management tools let you stay on top of everything. Add unlimited items, sort them into categories, apply product tags, manage stock, and offer variants like size, colour or type.

Bulk uploads mean you can save time when setting up or expanding your shop. Edit prices, update stock, and push changes live instantly.

Checkout Process

Checkout shouldn’t be complicated. We keep it streamlined to reduce drop-offs. Customers can check out as guests or create accounts for faster repeat purchases. Shipping options are flexible – offer free delivery, flat rates, collection in-store, or location-based pricing. Add delivery timeframes so customers know what to expect.

Payment Integration

We connect your ecommerce website to Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. We can also work with your preferred provider. Payments go directly to you – fast, secure and under your control.

Need subscriptions or staged payments? No problem. We’ll configure everything to suit how your business operates.

Offers and Discounts

Run sales when it suits you. Create time-limited discounts, multi-buy deals, new customer offers, free delivery vouchers – and apply them to individual items, product groups or the whole basket. Promote codes across your site or email campaigns to drive traffic.

Customer Notifications

Let customers know where their order is, every step of the way. Automatic emails confirm purchases, dispatch and delivery. You can also let users opt in for marketing updates, special offers and back-in-stock alerts.

Data and Insights

We connect your ecommerce website to tracking and analytics tools that give you useful insights, not just stats. See your top sellers, abandoned baskets, average order values, traffic sources and more. Make informed decisions to increase revenue.

Marketing Tools

Connect to email services like Mailchimp or Klaviyo. List your products on Google Shopping. Sync your catalogue with Facebook and Instagram shops. Improve your search engine rankings with built-in SEO tools that help your pages rank well on Google.

Mobile-Responsive Design

We build every ecommerce website with mobile users in mind. The site adjusts automatically to fit screens of all sizes – phones, tablets, laptops and desktops.

That means no squinting, zooming or fiddling – just a clean, fast shopping experience, no matter where your customer is.

The Customer Journey on Your Ecommerce Website

From homepage to checkout, we map out the entire customer journey so it’s clear, friction-free and focused on conversions. Key parts of that journey include:

Fast-loading pages that hold attention
Easy site navigation and smart search
Helpful product filters by price, size, category and availability
Clear product pages with all necessary info and images
Trust elements like reviews, guarantees and FAQs
Minimal-step checkout with visible progress bar
Email confirmations and delivery tracking
Opportunity to opt in for marketing

These elements work together to build trust, reduce bounce rate and increase basket size.

We work with a wide range of businesses, tailoring ecommerce solutions to suit. Each ecommerce website we build is made to suit the specific needs of your product, your customers, and your business.

Clothing and fashion retailers – size guides, colour swatches, style variations
Food and drink sellers – shelf life info, allergens, shipping considerations
Subscription boxes – repeat billing, customer dashboards, cut-off dates
Digital products – instant downloads, licence keys, access expiry
Service providers – online booking calendars, deposits, time slots

Clothing and fashion retailers – size guides, colour swatches, style variations

The Return on Investment

A well-built ecommerce website quickly becomes one of the most valuable parts of your business. A smooth user experience helps increase conversion rates, while automation cuts back on manual admin and repetitive tasks. Because your site is always live, order volumes naturally increase, and with built-in tools for email and offers, customer retention improves over time. You also gain access to reliable data that helps you market smarter. And with no ongoing licence costs or transaction fees, you keep everything you earn – which means the return on investment is even better in the long run.

Flexible Ecommerce Website Development

No two businesses are the same. That’s why we build ecommerce websites that fit the way you sell. We can include:

Product bundles and mix-and-match offers

Subscriptions, memberships, and recurring payments

Custom fields for personalisation (e.g. name engraving, gift notes)

Time slots and calendars for bookings or deliveries

Digital goods like PDFs, videos, or downloadable guides

International shipping rules and tax setup

Simple, Secure, and Supported

Once your site goes live, you’re in control. You’ll be able to add new products, change prices, check orders, and more – without calling anyone. We give you the training and tools to manage your ecommerce site day-to-day.

Security is non-negotiable. We include:
SSL certificates and HTTPS by default
Secure payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal etc.)
Regular software updates
GDPR-compliant customer data handling
