Ecommerce Web Design for Northumberland Businesses
Websites Built to Work as Hard as You Do.
Selling online shouldn’t mean wrestling with technology. Whether you’re a maker ready to take your first orders or an established shop moving beyond the high street, we build online stores that are easy for your customers to buy from — and just as easy for you to run.
We’ve been building websites across Northumberland and Newcastle for over 25 years, and online shops are where good design earns its keep. A slow checkout or a confusing product page costs you sales every single day. Our job is to make sure that doesn’t happen.

TWDA
What you get with a TWDA online shop
Every store we build runs on WordPress and WooCommerce — the same platform behind millions of shops worldwide. That means no licence fees ratcheting up every year, no being locked into a platform you can’t leave, and a shop you actually own.
Your store comes with secure payments (Stripe, PayPal, and card payments as standard), stock management you can update yourself, delivery and click-and-collect options set up for how you actually work, and a design built around your products rather than squeezed into a template.
Everything is mobile-first, because that’s where most of your customers are.
Want to make those updates confidently yourself? Our WordPress training covers exactly that.
TWDA is also VAT registered so all prices are subject to vat being added.
Built for real shops, not just shopping carts
When Woolabaloo came to us, they needed an online shop for modern yarn lovers, hundreds of products, colourways that had to look right on screen, and stock that changes weekly. We built them a store that handles all of it, and trained them to manage it themselves.
That last part matters. We don’t build shops that need a developer on speed dial. You get proper training, plain-English documentation, and we’re at the end of the phone when something needs sorting.
The ‘Open for Business’ Shop
Online Shop: A high-performance store that’s easy to manage and even easier to use—all without those pesky third-party sales and commission fees.
From £2500
The 'Sky is the Limit' Build
The ‘Sky is the Limit’ Build: If your big idea doesn’t fit into a box, we’ll build a custom one that is perfectly tailored to your vision.
Bespoke
Already selling somewhere else?
If you’re on Etsy, Shopify, or a tired old store that’s stopped pulling its weight, we can move you across — products, customers, order history, the lot — without losing the Google rankings you’ve built up. We handle the redirects and the technical migration; you carry on selling.
What it costs
People often ask how much an ecommerce website costs, and the honest answer is that every shop is different – five products is a different job from five hundred. Our pricing is transparent and we’ll give you a clear, fixed quote before anything starts. See our services or get in touch for a proper conversation about what your shop needs.
FAQ
How much does an online shop cost?
TWDA’s ‘Open for Business’ online shop package starts from £2,500, and every shop is quoted as a fixed price upfront so you know the full cost before we start. The final figure depends on the size of your catalogue and what the shop needs to do, such as variable products, subscriptions or stock syncing. Send us a brief and we’ll send back a fixed, no-obligation quote.
Can I update products and prices myself?
Yes, that’s the whole point. Every TWDA online shop comes with training so you can add products, change prices, run offers and manage orders yourself, without paying a designer every time something changes.
Do you build on Shopify or WooCommerce?
TWDA builds online shops on WooCommerce, which runs on WordPress. You own the shop outright, there’s no monthly platform fee, and it grows with your business. If you’re currently on Shopify, Etsy or another platform, we can migrate you across without losing your Google rankings.
How long does it take to build an online shop?
Most TWDA online shops go live in six to ten weeks from sign-off, depending on the size of the catalogue and how quickly product photos and descriptions come together. We agree a timeline with you before we start.
Can you move my shop from Shopify, Etsy or another platform?
Yes. TWDA migrates your products, customers and order history across to WooCommerce, sets up the redirects so you keep your Google rankings, and you carry on trading throughout the switch.
Will my shop be set up for payments, delivery and VAT?
Yes. Every TWDA shop comes with Stripe, PayPal and card payments as standard, delivery and click-and-collect options configured for how you actually work, and UK VAT rates set up correctly from day one.
What happens after the shop goes live?
You get training and plain-English notes from TWDA so you can run the shop yourself, and we’re at the end of the phone if something needs sorting. Our website maintenance plans cover WordPress updates, backups and security if you’d rather we looked after that side.
Do you build online shops for businesses across Northumberland?
Yes. TWDA is based near Hexham and builds WooCommerce shops for businesses across Northumberland and the North East, from Alnwick and Morpeth to Newcastle and the Tyne Valley. Most of the work is done by email, phone and video call, so distance is never an issue.
