What separates shops that sell from catalogues that don't
Anyone can list products online. Getting people to actually buy them is another matter entirely.
The difference between a successful online shop and an expensive digital brochure comes down to three things: trust (do visitors believe you're legitimate?), clarity (can they easily find and understand what they're buying?), and friction (how many obstacles stand between wanting and buying?).
We build WooCommerce stores that address all three. Not with gimmicks or aggressive sales tactics, but with solid foundations: fast-loading pages, clear product information, straightforward checkout processes, and the subtle details that make visitors feel confident clicking "Buy."
E-commerce is unforgiving. A slow page or confusing checkout doesn't just annoy visitors. They leave, often permanently. We build stores that earn conversions through competence, not tricks.
Who this is for
Our e-commerce development is ideal for:
Established retailers going online
You have a successful physical business and need an online presence that matches your reputation.
Businesses outgrowing marketplaces
Etsy, eBay, or Amazon fees are eating your margins. You need your own platform that you control.
Companies needing custom functionality
Product configurators, B2B pricing, complex shipping rules. The off-the-shelf solutions don't quite fit.
Shops that need to work harder
Your current store isn't converting. You're getting traffic but not sales, and you're not sure why.
Honest note: If you're testing a product idea with a handful of items, Etsy or Shopify might be quicker to start. We build for businesses ready to invest in a proper online presence.
How we approach e-commerce
WooCommerce, customised properly. We build bespoke themes that give you exactly the shopping experience you need, not a generic theme with 50 options you'll never use.
Speed is revenue. Amazon found that every 100ms of load time cost them 1% in sales. We optimise obsessively: fast hosting, efficient code, smart caching.
Checkout friction kills sales. Every unnecessary field, every extra click, every moment of confusion loses you customers. We streamline ruthlessly.
Mobile-first, always. Over half of e-commerce traffic is mobile. We design for phones first, testing on real devices, not just browser simulators.
Payment flexibility. Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna. We integrate the options your customers expect, securely and reliably.

What Clients Say About Our E-commerce
Having moved from a much slower hosting platform, this new setup is not only much faster, but has a far more user-friendly interface and some incredible friendly support, nothing is too much trouble, the whole process of transfer has been completed so seamlessly that there was barely any downtime and no loss of data. Really happy to have come across this company and looking forward to making use of the services offered within my new hosting package. Highly recommend :) I wrote the above a couple of years ago (I think!) and since then have done a good bit more with more websites, the support when needed is always insanely fast, and often goes way above and beyond the call of duty, really cannot fault the service received from 365i, I stand by my original statement that I'd highly recommend. 5 stars is really not enough so here's a few more ***** ***** *****
Mark has been extremely helpful with some website and system issues we recently faced, offering easy solutions to all of the problems without any fuss at all. We cannot thank you enough for all of your help!
Awesome hosting service, customer support second to none with dedicated UK based team, highly recommend to agency and business owners
Mark is excellent. His prices are very reasonable and he does an excellent job. So far Mark has re-designed one of our websites to an excellent looking, quick & responsive site and will soon be taking over our hosting. Great
Really impressed with the on-boarding attention. I have not had service like this before.
The best hosting provider I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with (and I've tried a few over the years!). Superb personal service, no foreign call centres and you get to deal with people who really know what they're talking about. Performance is top notch too - experienced an immediate increase in website responsiveness after transferring to them. Can't recommend highly enough.
Very helpful and cover every area. Mark especially is very effective in finding solutions for any queries you may have and goes the extra mile to assist. Overall, excellent service!
Wow! My website colouredglass.co.uk was running very slow with a previous hosting company, I signed up in minutes at 365i.co.uk Not only is my website super fast and loading in less than 3 seconds from 11 seconds, I am saving £23.81 per Month!!! - Keep up the good work Team365i
Mark @ 356i is a WIZARD. The work he has created on WordPress - Woocommerce is outstanding, Mark has created a game changing ecommerce store giving me absolutely satisfaction. His knowledge in the Web world is just impressive,their really isn't anything he doesn't know!
Frequently asked questions
How much does an ecommerce website cost in the UK?
A professional WooCommerce store typically costs £3,000-£15,000+ depending on product catalogue size, custom features, and payment/shipping integrations. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific requirements.
WooCommerce vs Shopify: which is better?
WooCommerce offers more flexibility, no transaction fees, and you own your store. Shopify is simpler to start but charges transaction fees and limits customisation. For serious UK businesses wanting full control, WooCommerce is usually better.
What do I need to start selling online?
You need product images, descriptions, prices, a payment gateway account (Stripe/PayPal), shipping rates, and business terms. We help set up everything technical; you provide the product information and business details.
How do I accept card payments on my website?
We integrate payment gateways like Stripe, PayPal, and others. Customers enter card details securely on your site, payments go directly to your account. Setup typically takes 1-2 days once you have your gateway accounts.
