What Is E-commerce?

E-commerce simply means buying or selling products and services online. An e-commerce website lets customers browse what you offer, place orders and pay through the website rather than having to contact you separately.

The best approach depends on what you're selling, how you handle payments and delivery, and how much of the shop you'd like to manage yourself.

An online shop might need a product catalogue, a checkout, payment processing, shipping options and a way to manage orders. The right setup depends on how many products you sell and what happens after someone places an order.

I build WordPress and WooCommerce websites and also offer an e-commerce starter package from £1,000 for suitable smaller projects. Larger or more complex shops are quoted individually.
