Your products deserve more than “Please DM for price”
A customer sees your product on Instagram. They like it. They want to buy it. Then the journey begins: “Please DM for price.” They send a message, but you are busy. They ask about another colour. The photo is somewhere between a birthday video and a screenshot from last Christmas.
Then come questions about payment, delivery and availability. By this point, both of you have worked a full shift, and nobody has placed an order.
Social media and WhatsApp can be excellent for attracting and speaking to customers. An ecommerce website gives shoppers another clear place to browse, understand what they are buying and place an order.
The short answer: how much does it cost?
At WTB, an ecommerce website starts from £350. The final quote depends on your requirements, including product quantity, design, integrations, software and features. A starter store with a small catalogue will not necessarily cost the same as one requiring complex variations or inventory connections.
Domain registration, hosting, renewals, paid software, payment-provider fees and other third-party costs may be separate. We will clarify the scope and charges in your quote. The starting price is a WTB offer, not a market-wide price.
What should an ecommerce website include?
A clear, attractive storefront
Your homepage should quickly show what you sell, who it is for and where to start. Good design matters, but your customer should not need a treasure map to find the shop button.
Product catalogues and categories
Organise products in categories customers understand. A beauty store might use skincare, haircare and body care. A fashion brand might use dresses, shirts, shoes and accessories. Shoppers should be able to browse without messaging for every item.
Product pages that answer questions
Useful pages include clear images, descriptions, prices, available sizes or colours, delivery information and an obvious way to add products to a cart. WTB can discuss imagery and creative support as part of your brief; the scope depends on what you already have.
Payment and orders
Customers should understand how to place an order and pay. We can plan the store around a suitable payment provider and ordering process. Confirm provider eligibility, supported payment methods and transaction fees before launch.
Mobile design and trust
Customers should be able to browse, read and take the next step on a phone. If someone needs to zoom in five times to find the price, your website is giving them homework.
Make contact details, delivery areas, estimated timelines and return information easy to find. Use genuine reviews and accurate product descriptions. Trust should be earned, not decorated.
Will customers find the store on Google and AI search?
WTB can build SEO foundations appropriate to the project: clear titles, helpful product and category content, logical page structure, mobile usability and technical setup. We can structure information to help search engines and AI systems understand your business.
No agency can guarantee first place on Google or an AI recommendation. Visibility also depends on competition, content quality, technical health and continued work after launch. Learn more about our website development service and SEO services.
What changes the final price?
- The number of products to add.
- Whether photography, images or copywriting are required.
- Custom design and functionality.
- Payment, delivery and inventory integrations.
- Paid software, hosting and subscriptions.
- Advanced SEO, maintenance and ongoing support.
