ECOMMERCE DEVELOPMENT agency
eCommerce development agency for brands ready to build a stronger store.
Rococo designs and develops eCommerce websites, Shopify stores and WooCommerce platforms for ambitious brands that need more than a basic online shop.
We create online stores with stronger foundations for product discovery, user experience, conversion, SEO and long-term digital growth.
For brands planning a new store, redesign, migration or stronger eCommerce platform.

THE position
A better eCommerce store is not just designed. It is planned around how people buy.
Your store should make it easier for the right customers to find, trust and buy from you.
Many eCommerce websites look fine on the surface but struggle with product discovery, navigation, speed, content structure, conversion and long-term marketing performance.
A strong eCommerce build needs to connect design, development, products, categories, SEO, tracking and customer journeys from the start.
Rococo’s eCommerce development work is built around commercial performance, not just how the store looks on launch day.
WHAT WE BUILD
eCommerce stores built around stronger digital foundations.
Every eCommerce project is shaped around the products, customers, buying journey, platform requirements and growth opportunities behind the store.
New eCommerce websites
Online stores planned, designed and developed around your products, customers and commercial goals.
Shopify development
Shopify stores built with clear journeys, flexible content, strong product structure and future growth in mind.
WooCommerce development
WooCommerce stores designed for businesses that need control, flexibility and a strong WordPress foundation.
eCommerce redesigns
Strategic redesigns for stores that have outgrown their current look, structure, performance or platform.
Store migrations
Carefully planned migrations from one eCommerce platform to another, with SEO, redirects and data considered from the start.
Product and category structure
Improved product, collection and category journeys that support discovery, usability and search visibility.

ECOMMERCE UX
Built around how customers browse, compare and buy.
A successful eCommerce website needs more than attractive product pages. It needs clear navigation, strong collection pages, useful product information, simple buying journeys and confidence-building details throughout the experience.
Rococo plans eCommerce stores around the actions customers need to take, from finding the right product to completing checkout and returning again.
Product discovery
Navigation, search, filters, collections and categories planned to help customers find the right products faster.
Conversion-focused product pages
Product pages designed to build trust, answer questions and move customers towards purchase.
Checkout and post-purchase thinking
The buying journey is considered beyond the product page, including basket, checkout, confirmation and future retention.

Trusted by Brands Who Expect Results







Built for growth
Built for what happens after launch.
Many eCommerce projects end the moment the store goes live. Rococo builds with the next stage in mind.
Your store should be ready for SEO, paid media, email, reporting, product campaigns, conversion optimisation and ongoing improvement. That is why we consider growth foundations during the build, not after it.
- SEO-ready structure
Products, collections, metadata, redirects, technical foundations and content hierarchy planned with visibility in mind. - Conversion-focused journeys
Navigation, product pages, trust signals and calls to action designed to turn more visitors into customers. - Ready for ongoing improvement
Built so the store can keep evolving through reporting, testing, campaigns, email and optimisation.
Which platform
The right platform for how you sell.
We build on Shopify, Shopify Plus and WooCommerce, so the recommendation is based on your catalogue, your margins and your systems rather than on what we happen to sell. This is how the decision usually falls.
Shopify
The default for most DTC brands. Hosted, fast, secure, with the best app and payments ecosystem. The trade off is a fixed URL structure and transaction fees, which we plan around. Our Shopify fee calculator shows what the plans cost at your volume.
Shopify Plus
For brands that need to change the checkout, sell B2B and direct from one store, run several markets, or have the revenue for the lower transaction rate to pay for the licence. What is Shopify Plus? and Shopify vs Shopify Plus cover the decision.
WooCommerce
Right when content is as important as the catalogue, when you need full control of the data and URL structure, or when a WordPress site already carries the brand. You own the hosting and the maintenance, and we set both up properly. See Shopify vs WooCommerce.
Coming from Magento, BigCommerce, Wix or a custom build? Read Magento vs Shopify, then our Shopify migration agency page for how the move is planned so rankings and data come with you.
Integrations, B2B and support
Built around the systems that run the rest of the business.
Integrations we have delivered
Stock, orders, customers and pricing flowing between the store and Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage, Xero, Brightpearl, Unleashed, Klaviyo, Shopify POS and third party warehouses. The integration is mapped before design starts, because it decides how products and orders have to be structured. Networks Centre is the biggest example: four websites and 18,700 SKUs consolidated into one platform with a trade portal, a £260k+ build that changed how the business takes orders.
B2B and trade portals
Customer specific pricing, account ordering, quotes, credit terms and catalogue visibility per customer, on Shopify B2B, WooCommerce or a bespoke portal. Our B2B eCommerce agency page covers it in depth.
Speed, security and what happens after launch
- Every store is built mobile first and measured on Core Web Vitals before launch, with a target of passing all three on mobile
- Shopify hosting is included in the platform; for WooCommerce we set up managed UK hosting, backups, updates and a staging site
- Every launch includes 90 days of monitoring on speed, rankings and tracking, with fixes included
- After that, most brands keep us on a rolling monthly growth retainer covering SEO, paid, Klaviyo and conversion work on the new store
Who does the work
Every new store build, redesign and migration gets a fixed proposal after discovery rather than an estimate that grows. Jake Boase and Matthew Jones, the co-founders, scope every project and stay on it. Design, build and marketing are done by our own team in West Sussex, no offshore build team and no handover after the pitch. Everything we do for Shopify stores is on our Shopify agency page.

eCommerce development agency FAQs.
Common questions about eCommerce website development, Shopify development, WooCommerce, redesigns and migrations.
eCommerce development is the planning, design and build of an online store. As an eCommerce development agency, Rococo handles platform selection, UX, product and category structure, design, development, SEO foundations and launch, so the store is built to sell, not just to look good.
We focus on Shopify and WooCommerce for most eCommerce website development projects, and can advise on the right platform based on your products, team, integrations and growth plans.
Yes. Rococo is a Shopify Partner and supports brands with Shopify development, redesigns, migrations and ongoing improvements.
Yes. We support WooCommerce development for businesses that want a flexible, WordPress-based eCommerce platform with strong content and product control.
Yes. eCommerce website redesigns are a core part of our work, improving UX, product discovery, performance, trust signals and conversion without losing what already works.
Yes. We plan Shopify migration and WooCommerce migration projects carefully, including product data, URL structure, redirects, SEO foundations and launch checks.
Yes. SEO foundations are considered from the start: site structure, product and collection pages, metadata, internal linking, performance and redirects are all planned during development, not bolted on afterwards.
Yes. Product pages, collections, navigation and filtering are key parts of any eCommerce platform development, and we improve them to support both customers and search visibility.
Yes. We can continue supporting the store through ongoing improvements, or you can move into a marketing-led engagement via our eCommerce Growth service or Ongoing Growth Partnership.
New store builds, redesigns and migrations start from £20,000, with a fixed proposal after discovery rather than an estimate that grows. The final figure depends on platform, catalogue size, integrations and how much B2B or international functionality you need. Shopify’s own plan fees sit outside it.
Most new store builds run 10 to 14 weeks from kick off to launch. A redesign on the same platform can be quicker. ERP or warehouse integration, B2B pricing, large catalogues or a migration from another platform push it towards 16 weeks. You get a dated plan after discovery, and the data and integration work starts in week one rather than at the end.
Discover, plan, design, build, then launch and improve, as set out above. Jake Boase or Matthew Jones, the co-founders, manages every project personally and stays on it after launch. You have one point of contact, a shared plan you can see, and a weekly check in rather than a monthly surprise.
On Shopify and Shopify Plus, hosting, security and updates are part of the platform fee, which sits outside our price. For WooCommerce we set up managed UK hosting with backups, updates, a staging site and monitoring, either on your account or ours, and we tell you what it costs before anything is signed.
Almost always. We have connected stores to Dynamics 365 Business Central, Sage, Xero, Brightpearl, Unleashed, Klaviyo, Shopify POS and third party warehouses. The integration is mapped in discovery because it decides how products, stock and orders have to be structured, and it is tested on real data before launch.
Yes, and we measure it. Every build is designed for mobile first and checked against Core Web Vitals before launch, with a target of passing all three on mobile. App and script bloat is the usual reason Shopify stores fail those tests, so every app is justified before it goes on.
Every launch includes 90 days of monitoring on speed, rankings and tracking, with fixes included. After that most brands keep us on a growth retainer from £4,000 a month, rolling monthly, covering SEO, paid media, Klaviyo and conversion work on the new store. Support only retainers are available for stores that just need a safe pair of hands.
For most DTC brands, Shopify. For brands that need to change the checkout, sell B2B and direct from one store or run several markets, Shopify Plus. For content led brands or businesses that need full control of data and URLs, WooCommerce. We build on all three, so the recommendation comes from your catalogue, margins and systems rather than what we sell, and we say so in writing after discovery.
Jake Boase and Matthew Jones, the co-founders, scope every project and stay on it. Design, build and marketing are done by our own team in West Sussex. There is no offshore build team and no handover to juniors after the pitch, which is why the marketing plan and the build are written by the same people.
