A well-designed ecommerce website does more than look good — it turns browsers into buyers. At Cambria Digital, we design and build custom ecommerce stores for UK businesses across Shopify, WooCommerce, and headless platforms, with every project built around your products, your customers, and your conversion goals. From a first store launching on Shopify to a complex WooCommerce rebuild with custom integrations, we handle design, development, payment setup, and managed hosting under one roof at a fixed price.

Shopify, WooCommerce or Custom — We Build All Three

We are not tied to a single platform. We choose the right ecommerce technology for your business, products, and budget — then build it from scratch to your brand.

🛒

Shopify

Speed, simplicity and low maintenance

  • Custom theme design — no generic templates.
  • App integrations: reviews, subscriptions, loyalty.
  • Shopify Payments, Stripe and PayPal configured.
⚙️

WooCommerce

Full control and lower long-term cost

  • Bespoke storefront on WordPress — no page builders.
  • Stripe, PayPal, Klarna and SagePay integrated.
  • UK shipping rules, VAT, and Royal Mail API support.
🚀

Custom / Headless

Maximum performance and flexibility

  • Next.js storefront with headless Shopify or custom API.
  • Built for high traffic, complex catalogues and B2B.
  • ERP, CRM and warehouse integrations from day one.

Everything Your Store Needs, Built In

Every ecommerce build we deliver includes these eight foundations as standard — no add-ons, no upsells, no surprises on the invoice.

1

Product Catalogue

Structured product pages with filtering, variants, bulk import support, and SEO-optimised URLs. Built to handle everything from a handful of products to thousands of SKUs without performance degradation.

2

Payment Gateway Integration

Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay and SagePay — the gateways UK shoppers trust. Hosted payment fields keep card data off your server and PCI DSS scope tightly controlled.

3

Mobile-First Design

Over 60% of UK ecommerce traffic arrives on mobile. We design for small screens first, then scale up — so your checkout, product images, and navigation work perfectly on every device.

4

SSL + PCI DSS Compliance

HTTPS across the entire store, hosted payment fields via your chosen gateway, and Content Security Policy headers to block card-skimming scripts. Compliant from day one, documented for your records.

5

SEO Foundations

Semantic HTML, optimised meta titles and descriptions, product schema markup, XML sitemap, canonical URLs, and fast Core Web Vitals scores — built in from the start, not bolted on later.

6

Speed Optimisation

Image compression, lazy loading, server-side caching, a CDN, and lean code that does not rely on heavy plugins. Fast stores sell more — every 100ms of delay costs real revenue.

7

Inventory Management

Stock tracking, low-stock alerts, backorder handling, and multi-location inventory where needed. All manageable from a clean admin interface without touching code.

8

Abandoned Cart Recovery

Automated email sequences to recover shoppers who added to cart but did not check out. On average, well-configured abandoned cart flows recover 5 to 15% of lost revenue.

Why hire Cambria

An ecommerce agency that builds, not just installs

A lot of agencies install a theme, drop in a payment plugin, and call it ecommerce. We custom-code every store from scratch — here is what that looks like in practice.

Custom-coded stores, not theme installsEvery storefront is designed to your brand and built from scratch. No off-the-shelf theme hacked to fit — clean code that loads fast and is easy to extend later.
Payment and compliance handled end-to-endWe configure the gateway, set up hosted payment fields, document your PCI DSS position, and test the full checkout before launch — so you are not figuring it out after go-live.
Cardiff-based, founder-ledSungraiz — creator of the #1 RealHomes theme on ThemeForest — is hands-on with every project. You deal with the person doing the work, not a project manager relaying messages.
Fixed price, you own the codeOne agreed price covers design, build, payment setup, and 12 months of managed hosting. No lock-in — you own everything and can take it anywhere after launch.

This is for you if…

  • You want a store designed to your brand, not a template.
  • You need payment gateways and compliance handled properly.
  • You care about page speed, SEO, and conversion rate.
  • You want one team to design, build, host and maintain it.

Probably not a fit if…

  • You want a free Shopify trial set up by tomorrow.
  • You are shopping purely on lowest possible price.
  • You want a drag-and-drop builder you manage yourself.

Ecommerce Website Design Questions Answered

The questions we hear most from UK businesses looking to launch or rebuild their online store. Not covered here? Drop us a message and we will get back to you within one working day.

Ecommerce website costs in the UK vary by platform and complexity. A custom Shopify store starts from around £2,500 and suits businesses that want speed and simplicity with low ongoing maintenance. A bespoke WooCommerce store starts from £5,000 and gives you more control over functionality and lower long-term platform costs. Fully custom ecommerce builds — with bespoke checkout flows, ERP integrations, or complex catalogue logic — start from £15,000. Every build includes mobile-first design, payment gateway integration, PCI DSS compliant hosted fields, and 12 months of managed hosting. We provide fixed-price quotes with no hidden fees.

Build timelines depend on the platform and scope. A custom Shopify store typically takes 3 to 4 weeks from kickoff to launch. A bespoke WooCommerce store usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, covering design, development, payment integration, and QA. Custom or enterprise ecommerce platforms generally require 12 to 20 weeks depending on catalogue size, integrations, and custom functionality. The biggest variable is usually how quickly content, product data, and feedback are provided — we give every project a detailed milestone plan so you can plan accordingly.

Both are strong platforms, but the right choice depends on your priorities. Shopify suits businesses that want speed to market, a simple admin, and minimal maintenance — you pay a monthly platform fee but get reliable infrastructure managed by Shopify. WooCommerce gives you more control over your store's functionality, no monthly platform fee, and lower long-term costs for high-volume sellers — but requires a properly managed WordPress hosting environment. If you are unsure, we will advise you based on your product range, growth plans, and budget during our free discovery call.

Yes. Every ecommerce store we build includes full payment gateway integration. We work with Stripe, PayPal, Klarna (buy now pay later), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and SagePay — the gateways UK shoppers use and trust most. We configure the checkout to use hosted payment fields so card data never touches your server, keeping your store PCI DSS compliant without the overhead of full self-certification. All payment flows are tested across mobile and desktop before launch.

Yes. PCI DSS compliance is built into every ecommerce store we design. We implement hosted payment fields through Stripe, PayPal, or SagePay — card data is handled entirely by the payment provider and never touches our servers or your hosting environment. This places your store in the lightest compliance tier (SAQ A), significantly reducing your compliance burden. We also configure HTTPS across the entire store, set Content Security Policy headers to prevent card-skimming scripts, and document the measures taken so you have a clear record if a processor or bank ever asks.
