SO Web Designs specialises in WooCommerce web design for small and medium-sized businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire.
Whether you're launching your first online shop or migrating from another platform, we build WordPress WooCommerce stores that are fast, secure, and built to sell, from £695 with no hidden costs.
Every WooCommerce store we build is a complete, ready-to-sell package. Here's what's included as standard:
Product Management - We set up your product catalogue with categories, tags, images, descriptions, variable products (sizes, colours, options), and stock management. Whether you've got 10 products or 1,000, the structure will be clean and easy to manage.
Payment Gateway Integration - We configure your preferred payment providers, Stripe, PayPal, WorldPay, or others, so customers can pay securely by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or bank transfer.
Shipping Configuration - Flat-rate, free-shipping thresholds, weight-based rates, collection options, or integration with Royal Mail and DPD, we set up whatever shipping model fits your business.
Tax & VAT Handling - Automatic UK VAT calculations, tax-exempt product categories, and VAT number display configured correctly from day one.
Checkout Optimisation - Streamlined, distraction-free checkout with guest checkout enabled, minimal form fields, and clear progress indicators. The fewer barriers between "Add to Cart" and "Place Order," the more sales you'll make.
SEO-Ready Product Pages - Every product and category page is built with SEO foundations, optimised titles, meta descriptions, clean URLs, image alt text, and structured data so Google can surface your products in search results.
Mobile-First Design - The entire store is designed for mobile screens first and tested across real devices before launch. Over half of all e-commerce traffic is mobile; your checkout needs to work flawlessly on a phone.
Secure Hosting - SSL certificate, daily backups, malware scanning, and a hosting environment optimised for WooCommerce performance.
WooCommerce-only specialists - We don't split our focus across multiple e-commerce platforms. WooCommerce is what we do, and we do it well.
Based locally, available personally - We're based in Aldershot and work with businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire. Face-to-face meetings available throughout your project.
SEO-first approach - Every store we build has organic search performance built into its architecture. Product and category pages are structured to rank, not just to display.
Long-term support - We offer ongoing WooCommerce management packages that include plugin updates, security monitoring, performance tuning, and ad hoc post-launch development support.
Transparent pricing - We offer Clear, itemised quotes. No platform fees, no surprise charges, no scope creep.
We build WooCommerce stores for businesses across Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire, from local retailers to online-only brands. We're based in Aldershot and happy to meet face-to-face, though most projects are managed remotely from brief through to launch.

WooCommerce stores start from £695. The final price depends on the number of products, your shipping and payment requirements, and any custom functionality needed. We provide a clear, fixed quote before any work begins. See our prices page for more detail.
WooCommerce is the platform we use to build every online store. Our e-commerce page covers the broader service, who e-commerce is for, and what's involved in selling online. This page goes into the specifics of WooCommerce itself, the features, the integrations, and why we chose it as our platform.
WooCommerce runs on WordPress, which means you own your store outright, no monthly platform fees, no restrictions on what you can customise, and no risk of a platform changing its pricing or terms. Shopify is a good product, but you're renting your store on someone else's infrastructure. With WooCommerce, the site is yours.
Yes. We handle full migrations from Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, and other platforms. We move your products, images, categories, and customer data across, set up 301 redirects to preserve your search rankings, and rebuild your store on WooCommerce with a fresh, optimised design.
WooCommerce supports dozens of payment gateways. We typically set up Stripe (for card payments, Apple Pay, Google Pay) and PayPal as standard, but we can integrate WorldPay, Square, Klarna, or any other provider your business needs.
Yes. WooCommerce's dashboard lets you add products, update prices, manage stock, process orders, and generate reports without any coding knowledge. We provide a walkthrough at handover so you're confident from day one.
Yes. WooCommerce stores need regular updates to keep payment plugins, shipping integrations, and security patches current. Our management packages cover all of this on a rolling monthly basis.
Yes. WooCommerce is used by stores with tens of thousands of products. The key is getting the architecture right, proper category structures, efficient database queries, and optimised hosting. We build for scale from the start so your store doesn't slow down as it grows.
Whether you need a simple informational website or a complex e-commerce platform, we have the skills and experience to bring your vision to life.
