Start your business online with a shopping cart
Are you thinking of an online store to boost your sales? I recently completed a website design in Huddersfield for a local butchers. Within 1 month of launching the butchers website, core sales of meat were up 50%, overall sales increased by 25%. The website for butcher outperformed all their expectations and the client is over the moon.
With an e-commerce website, you can have as many features as you would like:
- Promotions offering discounts on products.
- Free local delivery within a certain range of miles. Or restrict local delivery by postcode. eg HD*
- Or you can charge a set fee for local delivery.
- Customer chooses which day for delivery.
- Restrict delivery days.
- Offer group discounts. Buy 2 products and get 10% discount.
- Bundle products together to qualify for a discount.
- Offer ‘Click and Collect’ and allow the customer to choose a day and time to visit your store.
- And so much more…
Here’s a breakdown of what you get with your online store
You’ll get great support with your website. You won’t be left in the dark once the website goes live:
- Purchase of a new domain (if needed).
- Website hosting.
- SSL Certificate (providing security for online purchases).
- Homepage and contact pages (some wording and photos are needed from you).
- Setup of the online shop with 10 products (more can be added at extra cost).
- Setup of email 3 addresses.
- Online orders are emailed direct to your phone.
- Setup of a payment gateway to receive money direct to you.
- You get full access to the website and admin area.
- You can update anything and everything yourself. You can make word changes or image changes.
- Daily backups of your website.
- Updates to the website to make it secure and hack free.
- 3 months free website and shop support.
I’ll help set up your Facebook & Twitter accounts so you can shout out loud to your local community and throughout the UK about your new store. And you will get help with creating some social posts too.
If needed, you can have a blog included so you can post regular updates. And this will help with your SEO efforts. The list of opportunities for your online shop and website are endless and can be fully customised to your requirements.
Get in touch if you would like to discuss starting your business online with a shop. You’ll be able to reach out to the local community and across the whole of the UK. I’d be more than happy to assist.

I've worked with many UK web hosts over the last 20 years. Most are too complicated and have terrible support, too many are overloaded and are very slow! I recommend SiteGround. I'd be happy to chat and discuss and help you get setup and/or migrated.
