What We Build for Cornwall E-commerce

Cornwall has a strong independent retail, food, and maker economy - from St Ives galleries to Newquay surf brands to Padstow food producers shipping UK-wide. Most lose sales to a slow store, bad Google indexing, or missing structured data that would put their products in Shopping results.
We build on Shopify by default (fastest to launch, lowest maintenance overhead, strongest app ecosystem) or WooCommerce when you need deep customisation or want to keep everything inside WordPress. Either way, every store we build includes the things most off-the-shelf builds skip: category-level SEO structure (the single biggest lever for e-commerce ranking), product-level schema markup, Core Web Vitals optimisation on the theme (most popular Shopify themes are bloated - we swap to performance-tuned ones), and a Google Merchant Center feed set up from day one so you appear in Shopping results.
Standard timeline: 4–6 weeks from brief to launch for a Starter build. Standard and Premium tiers scale from there based on product catalogue size and custom functionality. Every build includes the SEO foundations a store needs to actually rank - writing 250 product descriptions that match customer search intent is half the work.
After launch, you run the store yourself (we train you) or we manage it. That covers product uploads, seasonal content, SEO, and feed updates from £400/month. Pair e-commerce with Google Shopping ads for paid reach, or with social media management for Instagram Shopping and TikTok Shop.

Cornwall sells internationally better than anyone realises. St Ives ceramics, Newquay surf gear, Padstow food - your local store can become a UK-wide brand with the right technical foundation.

Is This Right For You?

Cornwall Makers + Galleries

Potters, jewellers, artists, print-makers - selling work online through your own store instead of losing 30% on Etsy. Category SEO + product schema = your work appears in Google Shopping for "handmade ceramic [item]" searches nationally.

Cornwall Food + Drink

Bakeries, distilleries, cafés shipping UK-wide, pasty companies, cider producers. Subscription and recurring-order mechanics built in, plus refrigerated/frozen shipping integrations where needed.

Independent Retail + Surf

Newquay surf shops, Falmouth boutiques, St Ives retailers - whether you want an online shop alongside your bricks-and-mortar store or a full UK-wide e-commerce expansion. We scope for both.

Why Our E-commerce Builds Work

Category SEO from Day One

Most e-commerce builds treat categories as admin - we treat them as the primary ranking asset. Category pages are where your customers actually search ("handmade ceramic mugs," not "mug"). We structure and write them accordingly.

Product Schema That Earns Shopping Listings

Every product gets full schema markup - price, availability, brand, reviews, GTIN. That's what Google needs to show your product in Shopping results without a paid ad.

Core Web Vitals Tuned

Most off-the-shelf Shopify themes fail Core Web Vitals. We build on performance-tuned themes and strip the apps you don't need, so your LCP is under 2 seconds on mobile. Slow stores lose 53% of mobile visitors.

Email Capture Built In

Every build includes an email capture flow (Klaviyo or Mailchimp - your choice) with a welcome sequence. 30–50% of e-commerce revenue for mature stores comes from email, not ads or search. We make sure you start collecting on day one.
