Ecommerce web design in Derby
Derby's supply chain is full of firms that make or stock something a bigger engineering company needs, and some of that trade could be ordered online if the website speaks the buyer's language. Independent shops in Derby's Cathedral Quarter need something else: a way to sell to people who browsed in person and went home. We build for both, and keep them very different.
Online shops from £4,750. About 60 minutes from our studio, with no travel charge.
Ecommerce web design for Derby businesses
An engineering buyer placing an order needs things a normal shop ignores: a purchase order field at checkout, data sheets and certificates of conformity to download, and part numbers that match their own system, with pack quantities stated plainly. With those in place, a supplier's website can take repeat orders for standard items without a sales call.
Buyers at larger firms may only be allowed to order through their own purchasing systems. Some will still use your site to check stock and specifications before raising the order, so accurate stock counts earn their place even when the sale is completed elsewhere.
In the Cathedral Quarter the task is turning a browser into a buyer at home. That usually means a smaller range online, good photography, and collection for customers in Allestree, Mickleover or Spondon. Shopify suits that kind of shop, and WooCommerce is the likelier choice for a trade catalogue near Pride Park or Sinfin.

Online shops in Derby: your questions
Can we attach certificates and data sheets to each product?
Yes. Each product can carry downloadable files, such as data sheets, safety information or certificates of conformity, and customers can open them without adding anything to a basket. Where a certificate belongs to a particular batch, it can go out with the order confirmation, which saves your team answering the same request by email.
Our Cathedral Quarter shop has a lot of one-off stock. Is it worth putting online?
Some of it, yes. One-off pieces take time to photograph and describe, so choose the ones most likely to appeal to someone who cannot visit, and mark each as a single item so it disappears once sold. Regular lines are the easier start, and they bring people back to see what else has come in.
How much does online shops cost in Derby?
Our online shops starts at £4,750, and the price is the same wherever you are. The calculator on our pricing page gives you a rough figure in about thirty seconds.

No. Derby is about 60 minutes from the studio and visits are included in the project price.
