Ecommerce web design in Rotherham
Selling steel or machined parts online looks nothing like selling clothes. The buyer already knows the grade and the size, and wants a price and a delivery date without waiting for a call back. For Rotherham manufacturers, stockholders and fabricators, the shop has to let trade customers order the way they already specify work.
Online shops from £4,750. About 40 minutes from our studio, with no travel charge.
Ecommerce web design for Rotherham businesses
Whether you trade from Templeborough or Eastwood, metal is usually priced by length, weight or cut, and an off-the-peg shop has no idea what to do with that. On WooCommerce we can build product pages where the buyer enters a length, picks a finish and sees the price worked out from your own rates, with a minimum order and a cutting charge if you apply one.
Trade buyers also expect to pay the way they always have. Approved accounts can check out on invoice with a purchase order number, and new customers pay by card until you open an account for them. Each firm sees its own prices after logging in, so your best customers are never shown the list rate.
Some firms at the Advanced Manufacturing Park have a narrower range to sell: spares, consumables or a product line for machines they have already supplied. That can be a small, precise catalogue with data sheets beside each item. Workshops in Wickersley, Maltby and Dinnington buying for their own use can order from the same shop.

Online shops in Rotherham: your questions
Can customers order steel or bar cut to their own lengths online?
Yes. The product page asks for the length and quantity, checks them against limits you set, and prices the order from your rate per metre plus any cutting charge. Odd requests outside those limits become a quote request, so the website never promises something the saw cannot do.
Most of our buyers pay on account. Does that work with an online shop?
It does. Approved customers see an invoice option at checkout in place of card payment, and each order carries the purchase order number their accounts team needs. You still decide who gets approved. Anyone new pays by card until you are happy to give them terms.
How much does online shops cost in Rotherham?
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.
Do you charge extra to travel to Rotherham?
No. Rotherham is about 40 minutes from the studio and visits are included in the project price.
