Ecommerce Web Design Bristol
Sell online with an ecommerce website designed around your products, customers and business.
The Creative Den designs and develops WooCommerce websites for businesses in Bristol and across the UK, from smaller online shops to more advanced ecommerce websites requiring payment gateways, product variations, shipping options and third-party integrations.
We'll take care of the design, development, product setup, secure payment integration and launch, giving you an online store that's straightforward for customers to buy from and easy for you to manage.
Creativity + Technology = Conversions
Ecommerce Websites Built Around How You Sell
No two online stores operate in exactly the same way. Your products, customers, delivery options, payment methods and day-to-day processes all influence how your ecommerce website should work.
We start by understanding what you're selling and how customers need to find and purchase it. From there, we plan the product structure, categories, navigation, checkout and functionality before designing the website around your brand.
The result is an ecommerce website built around your business rather than forcing your products into a generic shop template.
Designed Around Your Products
Product pages, categories and navigation are structured around what you sell and how your customers are likely to shop.
Simple Buying Experience
Clear product information, straightforward navigation and an uncomplicated checkout help customers move from browsing to purchasing.
Easy to Manage
Manage products, stock, orders, pricing and promotions through WooCommerce without needing to contact us for everyday changes.
Turning Traffic into Transactions with Tailored E-commerce Solutions
WooCommerce Ecommerce Development
We primarily use WooCommerce for ecommerce development, combining the flexibility of WordPress with the tools needed to manage products, orders, customers and online payments.
WooCommerce works particularly well for businesses that want control over their website and content rather than relying entirely on a closed ecommerce platform.
It can support everything from a relatively small product range to larger stores requiring product variations, shipping rules, discount codes, customer accounts and additional integrations.
Product Management
Add and update products, descriptions, images, prices and stock from your WordPress dashboard.
Secure Online Payments
Accept debit and credit card payments through established payment providers such as Stripe and PayPal.
Product Variations
Sell products with different options such as size, colour, specification or other variations.
Shipping Options
Configure delivery methods and shipping rules around the way your business fulfils orders.
Discounts & Promotions
Create discount codes, promotional offers and other incentives directly through your ecommerce website.
Customer & Order Management
View orders and customer information through one central ecommerce dashboard.

Different sizes, colours, specifications and options.

Ecommerce Websites You Can Manage Yourself
You shouldn't need to contact your web developer every time a price changes or you want to add a new product.
WooCommerce gives you control over the everyday management of your online store. You'll be able to manage products, prices, stock and orders through your WordPress dashboard, while we're available when you need help with more substantial changes or technical support.
We'll explain how your ecommerce website works before launch so you're comfortable handling the tasks you need to manage day to day.
Products
Add and edit products
Orders
View and manage orders
Stock
Update stock levels and manage product availability.

Manage offers and discount codes
Ecommerce Website Redesigns & Migrations
Already selling online but your existing website is becoming difficult to manage, looks outdated or no longer meets the needs of your business?
We can redesign existing ecommerce websites and help businesses move to WooCommerce where it's appropriate.
We'll first review your existing store, products, content, functionality and current platform before recommending whether a redesign, redevelopment or migration is the best approach.
Where a platform migration is required, we'll review what data can be transferred, such as products, categories and customer information and explain the migration process before work begins.

WooCommerce gives us control over important ecommerce SEO elements including product content, categories, URLs, metadata, internal linking and structured website content. However, the platform alone doesn't guarantee rankings — competition, content, technical performance and ongoing SEO also play important roles.
