Selling online should not require a computer science degree. We build WooCommerce stores that are straightforward to manage, fast for your customers, and set up to handle Canadian tax and shipping from the start.
WooCommerce is free, open-source, and powers over 25% of all online stores globally. Unlike Shopify, you own your store completely. No monthly platform fees eating into your margins, no restrictions on what you can sell, and no vendor lock-in if you want to change developers later.
We handle the technical complexity (payment gateways, shipping zones, tax configuration, product SEO) so you can focus on what you actually sell.

Our process
How we build your store
Scope your catalog
How many products, what variations, what shipping methods? We map out the store structure before writing any code.
Design the storefront
Product pages, category layouts, cart, and checkout. All designed for conversion and consistent with your brand.
Configure the backend
Payment gateways, tax rules, shipping zones, email notifications, and inventory settings. Tested with real transactions.
Launch and train
We launch the store, walk you through the admin, and make sure you can add products, process orders, and manage inventory.
What to expect
Store build timeline
| Timeframe | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Store planning, product structure, design mockups |
| Weeks 2-3 | Build storefront, configure payments, shipping, tax |
| Weeks 3-4 | Product entry, testing, payment verification |
| Week 4-5 | Launch, training session, post-launch support |
E-commerce builds take longer than standard websites because of payment testing, shipping configuration, and product data entry. Plan for 3-5 weeks for a typical store.
If you have existing products on another platform (Shopify, Etsy, spreadsheet), we can migrate that data directly into WooCommerce.
Investment
E-commerce pricing
WooCommerce itself is free. Your costs are the custom design, development, and configuration work. Ongoing costs are just hosting (typically $20-50/month) and any premium plugins you choose to add.
Compare this to Shopify at $50-400/month in platform fees alone, plus transaction fees on every sale.

What clients say
Real feedback from real projects
We wanted someone local who was easy to speak with and Sam was that person. He pretty much built the whole site without any involvement by me and I LOVED the end results. Highly recommend if you are busy out in the field and just need to get it done.
Sam and his team have been a huge help in growing our online presence. They helped convert my old site into a new design and they also do our SEO which has the phone ringing more often now.
Our website kept breaking when we updated plugins and the cost of maintaining started adding up. We worked with many different developers but only Sam was able to finally diagnose the issue and fix it long term. He now manages the maintenance of our WordPress site and we have not had any issues since.
FAQ
Questions about this service
Why WooCommerce over Shopify?
Ownership and flexibility. WooCommerce has no monthly platform fees, no transaction fees (beyond your payment processor), and no restrictions on customization. You own your store and your customer data outright.
How many products can WooCommerce handle?
Thousands, without performance issues. WooCommerce scales based on your hosting quality, not product count. Stores with 10,000+ products run fine on proper hosting.
Can customers pay with credit cards?
Yes. We set up Stripe (most common) or your preferred processor. Customers can pay with Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Do you handle product photography?
We do not shoot photos, but we optimize and resize whatever images you provide. We can recommend local product photographers in Durham Region if you need them.
Can I manage the store myself after launch?
Yes. We train you on adding products, processing orders, and updating inventory. WooCommerce has a straightforward admin interface. We also offer care plans if you want us to handle ongoing maintenance.
