When a shop is worth building
When there is a real catalogue and real demand. If you sell three things to people who already know you, a payment link and a good page will out-earn a shop — and we will say so.
What we build on
Shopify where inventory, variants and payments need handling for you; something lighter where they do not, because it loads faster and costs less to run. 10 businesses in Whitby already run Shopify.
Product pages are where shops are won
A clear photograph, an actual description, the delivery answer above the fold, and the structured data that puts price and availability into Google results.
