Independent retail & e-commerce

Independent shops and makers are up against giant marketplaces with giant budgets. We build fast, beautiful online shops, connect them to your stock and payments, get you found for local and product searches, and automate the admin, so you can compete on what makes you special.

What's holding independent shops and similar businesses back
Marketplaces take a cut
Selling through big platforms means fees, rules and no relationship with your customer.
Stock in two places
Keeping shop and online stock in sync is a daily headache.

Your questions answered
Should I use Shopify or a custom online shop?
It depends on your range and how you sell. Platforms like Shopify suit many independents well, while a custom build suits unusual products, bookings or subscriptions. We'll recommend what fits you, not what's easiest for us.
Can you connect my till and my online shop?
Often, yes. Many modern point-of-sale systems, such as Square, Shopify POS and SumUp, can sync stock and orders with your website.
