WooCommerce stores
you own outright.

WooCommerce turns a WordPress site into a full online store with no platform fee and no limits on what it can do. That flexibility is also why so many WooCommerce stores end up slow and fragile. We build lean, fast WooCommerce stores for Ontario businesses, and we keep them updated and secure after launch.

Free consultation: we look at your current site and Google Business Profile and tell you straight what’s worth fixing. No pitch, no obligation.

When WooCommerce is
the right choice

WooCommerce is the right call for a lot of stores, especially ones that don’t fit neatly into a standard template.

You own it

No monthly platform fee and no extra transaction fee on top of your payment processor. The store, the data and the code are yours.

Complex products

Trade pricing, wholesale accounts, made-to-order products, bookings, add-ons. WooCommerce can handle the odd stuff that other platforms fight you on.

Content and SEO

It runs on WordPress, the best platform there is for content. If your customers find you through search and guides, that matters a lot.

What we do
on WooCommerce

Most of our WooCommerce work falls into one of these. Plenty of projects are a mix.

Adding a store to your WordPress site

Searches like: add online store to WordPress, sell on my website

Already on WordPress? We add WooCommerce to the site you have, matched to your design, without rebuilding everything. See WordPress web design.

Migrations and rescues

Searches like: WooCommerce site slow, move to WooCommerce, fix WooCommerce

Slow, broken or plugin-heavy stores cleaned up, or stores moved to WooCommerce from other platforms with old URLs redirected so you keep your rankings.

WooCommerce SEO

Searches like: WooCommerce SEO, products not showing on Google

Category and product pages structured to rank, filters that don’t create duplicate pages, product schema and Merchant Center. More on our e-commerce SEO page.

WooCommerce design and
development services

Everything you need to launch, grow and look after a WooCommerce store.

WooCommerce store design

A custom design built around your products and brand, with fast category pages, strong product pages and a checkout that works on a phone.

Payments, HST and shipping

Stripe, PayPal, Moneris or WooPayments, HST tax classes set up properly, Canada Post or courier rates, free-shipping thresholds and local pickup.

Custom features and integrations

Product options, bookings, subscriptions, wholesale pricing and connections to the other systems you use, built to survive updates.

Speed and performance

WooCommerce gets slow when it’s overloaded. We keep plugins to a minimum, compress images properly and test on a throttled mobile connection.

Hosting, updates and security

WooCommerce needs real hosting and regular updates. Our maintenance and hosting plans cover backups, updates, security and uptime monitoring.

Training and support

We show you how to add products, manage orders and run sales, and we’re around when you need changes.

Every WooCommerce store we build

WooCommerce gives you a lot of rope. These are the rules we follow so it doesn’t hang you:

Fixed quotes.
No mystery invoices.

Online stores start at $4,000 as a fixed-fee build, with products, payments, Ontario tax and shipping set up and tested. Bigger catalogues, custom features, integrations and migrations are quoted on top, itemized in writing before any work starts. E-commerce SEO is quoted separately, month to month, with no long-term contract. The free consultation includes a look at your current store or site, if you have one.

FAQ

How much does a WooCommerce store cost?

Our WooCommerce builds start at $4,000 for a fixed-fee store with products, payments, tax and shipping set up. Custom features, wholesale pricing, integrations and migrations are quoted on top. Hosting and maintenance are separate and month to month.

WooCommerce or Shopify?

WooCommerce suits stores with complex products, trade pricing, or a content and SEO-heavy plan, and owners who want no platform fee. Shopify suits stores that want to launch fast with a simple catalogue and no server to manage. We’ll tell you straight which fits.

Can you add a store to my existing WordPress site?

Usually, yes. If the site is in decent shape, we add WooCommerce and match it to your current design. If the site is old or fragile, we’ll tell you honestly whether a rebuild is the better spend.

Can you speed up my slow WooCommerce store?

Yes. Slow WooCommerce stores are usually caused by too many plugins, a heavy theme, big images or cheap hosting. We find the main causes and fix them in priority order.

Which payment gateways do you set up?

Stripe, PayPal, Moneris, Square and WooPayments are the most common for Canadian stores. We’ll recommend one based on your fees, payout times and whether you also sell in person.

Do you maintain WooCommerce stores after launch?

Yes. Updates, backups, security and small changes are covered in our monthly maintenance plans, with no long-term contract.
