Ecommerce website development
Ecommerce built around your business.
An effective online shop is about far more than adding products to a basket. Dawson & May designs bespoke ecommerce websites with carefully planned shopping journeys, secure payments and the specialist functionality your customers and team need.

The thinking behind it
The storefront is only one part of the system.
We connect product discovery, checkout, delivery, bookings and the tools your staff use every day. Whether you need a refined catalogue with a secure payment process or sophisticated business rules behind the scenes, we develop the right experience rather than forcing your requirements into a standard theme.

Questions worth asking
Can you build a completely bespoke online shop?
Yes. We can design a custom storefront and develop specialist functionality when normal ecommerce plugins or templates cannot support the required process. We first agree technical feasibility and the appropriate platform.
Do you use WooCommerce, Shopify or custom technology?
We recommend the appropriate route based on the business model, editing requirements, checkout, integrations and long-term maintenance. A custom application may be more suitable for unusually complex requirements.
Can you integrate delivery rules and custom product options?
Yes. Examples include postcode and delivery-area rules, collection options, personalisation, bundles, product configurations, date selection and fulfilment logic. Each is scoped around the actual requirements.
Can customers book workshops or services through the shop?
Yes. We can develop connected booking, availability and payment journeys, including capacity limits and secure administration where required.
How much does a bespoke ecommerce website cost?
Costs vary significantly with catalogue size, content, checkout requirements and bespoke integrations. We provide an individually scoped proposal rather than suggesting a standard small-business website fee covers every feature.
