Web design and WordPress
development for Stoke-on-Trent businesses
Stoke is an hour south west, and full of businesses that make a physical product and sell it a long way from Staffordshire.
1,000+ WordPress websites built, hosted
and maintained since 2010.
Working in Stoke-on-Trent
The potteries never really went away, they just got smaller and more specialised. What Stoke has now is a lot of firms making a physical product, often to order, often selling well beyond the city and increasingly direct rather than through a middleman. That last shift is the one the websites have not caught up with. Selling direct means photography that does the product justice, postage that makes sense for something heavy and breakable, and stock that behaves when a piece is one of a kind. Those are WooCommerce problems, and they are most of what I do.
How it works
Drivable when a project calls for it, though most would run on a video call and a shared screen.

The things Stoke-on-Trent businesses ask before we start.
Can you build a shop for something made to order?
Yes, and it's a more interesting problem than a standard shop. Variants, lead times and stock that is genuinely one of a kind all need handling deliberately rather than left to a template.
We sell trade and direct. Can one site do both?
Usually, with trade pricing behind a login and the public side left simple. Deciding how separate the two should be is worth doing before anybody designs anything.
