What you get

Custom storefront

Designed around your catalogue, not a Shopify theme. Product pages that sell, category filters that make sense, checkout that converts.

Ecommerce SEO built in

Product schema, clean URLs, unique descriptions, and internal linking that sends Google straight to your best sellers.

Inventory that syncs itself

Airtable, Shopify admin, Stripe — connected so data flows without manual CSV exports. Your team edits products once.

Foundation

Ecommerce web design that starts with your products, not a template

Most ecommerce sites start with a Shopify theme and force products into it. Your product catalogue, your customer journey, and your conversion path should dictate the design — not the other way around. I design from your catalogue out: product page UX, category filtering, checkout flow, post-purchase experience. If your best-selling product is buried three clicks deep, the design failed.

The process starts with your product data: SKU count, variants, categories, attributes, inventory sources. That structure determines the information architecture: how categories nest, how filters work, how product pages relate to each other. Design follows data, not the other way around.

For the full development approach, see the Webflow developer overview.

Performance

Why ecommerce speed is revenue — and how I deliver sub-2-second loads

Amazon found every 100ms of latency cost them 1% in sales. Your store is not Amazon, but the math is the same: slow pages lose money. I build with Webflow's CDN, optimise images at upload (WebP, srcset), lazy-load below-fold content, and keep JavaScript to what actually earns its place. Core Web Vitals are not optional for ecommerce — they're your conversion floor.

Image optimisation is the single biggest lever for ecommerce performance. Every product image gets compressed, converted to WebP with a JPEG fallback, served at the right dimensions via srcset, and lazy-loaded below the fold. I audit the full image pipeline: hero images, product grids, zoom overlays, thumbnail carousels. A product page with 12 unoptimised images can easily load 10MB; the same page optimised loads under 1MB.

For the SEO and conversion layer that makes fast pages convert, see SEO & CRO.

Integrations

Inventory, payments, shipping: the integrations that make an online store actually work

A storefront is the visible layer. Behind it: inventory management (Airtable, Shopify admin), payment processing (Stripe), shipping calculations, tax handling, email marketing (Mailchimp, Klaviyo), and analytics. I connect these so data flows without manual CSV exports. Real example: a client's Airtable inventory updates their Webflow product page automatically — zero duplication, zero lag.

The integration layer is what separates a brochure site with a Buy button from a real ecommerce operation. Inventory sync means you never sell products that are out of stock. Payment integration means transaction data flows to your accounting. Email marketing integration means abandoned cart flows and post-purchase sequences fire automatically. Every integration removes a manual step for your team.

For the data architecture that powers these integrations, see Airtable + Webflow.

SEO

Ecommerce SEO: why product pages need more than a title tag

Ecommerce SEO is structural, not just keyword-driven. Every product page needs unique descriptions (not manufacturer copy), structured data (Product schema with price, availability, reviews), clean URL architecture (/products/category/product-name, not /products?id=4729), and internal linking from category pages and blog content. I build this into the CMS template so every new product inherits the SEO foundation automatically.

Product schema is the single highest-impact SEO investment for ecommerce. Google uses it to display rich results: price, star ratings, stock status, shipping info — all visible in the SERP before someone clicks. Products without schema are invisible in rich results. I wire schema to the CMS so it updates automatically when you change a price or restock an item.

For the programmatic approach that scales SEO across large catalogues, see programmatic Webflow.

Ecommerce Web Design FAQs

Common questions about ecommerce web design: platforms, timelines, costs, migration, and mobile optimisation.

I build on Webflow for design flexibility and speed, with Stripe for payments. For larger catalogues (500+ SKUs), I recommend Shopify with a custom Webflow storefront via Buy Button or headless.

6-10 weeks for a typical store (50-200 products, custom design, payment integration). Smaller stores can launch faster.

A custom store with 50-200 products, payment integration, and CMS typically ranges from £5,000-£12,000. Book a call for a fixed quote based on your catalogue.

Yes. I handle product migration, order history preservation, URL redirects, and SEO continuity so you don't lose rankings during the switch.

Every store I build is mobile-first. 60%+ of ecommerce traffic is mobile. If your product page doesn't convert on a phone, the design isn't finished.
