Marketplace fees eat your margin

Care plus Receptionist bundle
Marketplaces can bring orders, but they take a slice of each sale. They also keep the customer relationship. Your coffee roaster ecommerce website gives you a shop you control, with your own branding, customer list and repeat sales.
Coffee buyers want more than a product photo. They want to know the roast date, origin, tasting notes, grind options and delivery time. Your online shop for coffee roasters can make those choices clear before payment, reducing messages and abandoned baskets.
The problem
Every marketplace order can reduce the money left for beans, roasting, packing and delivery. You also compete beside other sellers, making your hard-won product look like a simple price comparison.
A marketplace may process the order, but it does not give you the same control over the customer relationship. That makes repeat sales, subscriptions and useful follow-up much harder to build.
Customers want to choose frequency, grind, bag size and delivery details. A basic website often handles one-off sales but makes recurring orders awkward, creating admin and abandoned baskets.
What you get
Every client also takes Website Care at £59 a month. Everything else is modular.
Pricing
Products, payments, shipping, tracking and marketing ready from day one. Ecommerce Care is £99 a month rather than £59, because a shop needs more looking after than a brochure site.

This is a starting price. Once you need ERP, API or genuinely bespoke logic, we quote that separately rather than squeezing it into a fixed package.
Everything in Website Care, sized for an online shop. A store has payments, stock and plugins to keep working, so it needs more attention than a brochure site.

The result
Customers can choose products, grind options, subscriptions and delivery at any time. Payment happens online, without waiting for you to answer a message or confirm the details manually.
Your own shop gives you a direct place to build repeat buying. You can promote fresh roasts, subscription changes, gift products and seasonal offers without relying on marketplace rules.
A proper enquiry form captures business type, volume, delivery area and requirements. You can prepare a useful reply sooner and decide which opportunities deserve your time.
01
Your website becomes the centre of your online sales. Customers can browse beans, choose a grind, select a subscription and pay without waiting for a reply. You can update products, prices, stock and delivery details from one place.
We connect the important parts of your operation around that shop. Payments go through Stripe or PayPal. Orders reach the right place for roasting and packing. Customers receive clear updates. You can see which products sell and where new orders came from.
That means fewer manual tasks during a busy roasting day. Your website can take orders while you roast, pack wholesale bags or speak with customers at the counter. It keeps working after your doors close.
A proper ecommerce website for coffee roasters also protects the customer relationship. You own the website, the customer data and the buying experience. You are not building your future on a marketplace that can change its fees or rules.
02
People search Google for fresh coffee near them, local coffee delivery and coffee roasters in the North East. We build your pages so those searches lead to your shop, not only to a marketplace listing.
Your Google Business Profile is the business card that appears in local search and on Google Maps. We set it up properly with your opening hours, products, photos, service areas and a direct link to buy.
Your website then gives those visitors somewhere useful to go. They can see what makes your roast different, check delivery details and place an order. The journey is clearer than sending them to a generic marketplace profile.
We can support coffee roaster website design across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham, North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth. We also work with roasters across the UK.
More detail
The rest of what coffee roasters ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.
Some customers need more than a standard checkout. Cafés, offices, hotels and delis may need wholesale pricing, regular delivery or a larger order. A clear enquiry form captures the details you need before you reply.
We write forms around real coffee orders. A wholesale buyer can select business type, expected monthly volume, preferred beans, delivery area and grinder requirements. A private customer can ask about subscriptions, gift boxes or a specific grind.
That turns vague messages into useful information. You spend less time asking, "What do you need?" and more time preparing a suitable price. The form can send each enquiry to the right inbox, with a clear record for follow-up.
Your shop can handle ordinary retail orders while the form handles larger opportunities. Both paths sit on the same coffee roaster website, so customers get a professional answer whichever route suits them.
Coffee is personal. A new buyer wants proof that the beans arrive fresh, the grind is right and the service is reliable. Reviews from real customers answer those concerns before they need to contact you.
We can build a follow-up process that asks for feedback after an order or delivery. Happy customers get a simple route to leave a public review. Problems can be flagged to you first, giving you a chance to put things right.
Those reviews can appear across your website and Google Business Profile. Product pages can also show useful proof, such as comments about flavour, packaging, delivery speed or subscription flexibility.
This matters because buyers often compare several roasters at once. Strong proof helps your business get chosen, especially when a larger marketplace appears beside you. Your own shop gives that proof a place where it supports the sale.
A missed call can be a lost wholesale account, café enquiry or subscription customer. You may be roasting, driving, serving customers or working before sunrise. The AI Receptionist answers in your business name, 24 hours a day, at £169 a month.
It asks what the caller needs and records the important details. That can include their name, phone number, business type, delivery location, order size and preferred callback time. It can also sort urgent requests from general enquiries.
You receive a text straight away with the conversation details. You can call back when your hands are free, with useful information already in front of you. The caller does not have to repeat everything to a second person.
The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month on its own. Add it with Website Care for £199 a month. That bundle gives you call handling, hosting, security, backups, updates and ongoing support in one monthly service.
When you want more orders quickly, Google Ads can put your coffee shop in front of people already looking to buy. We manage the campaigns, write and test adverts, adjust bids and control the budget.
Ad spend goes directly to Google. We never mark it up. Our Google Ads Management costs £449 a month and includes campaign work, budget checks, search term reviews, negative keyword management and landing page improvements.
You can promote subscriptions, gift boxes, wholesale supply or seasonal products separately. That gives each audience a clearer page and a more relevant reason to buy.
Tracking shows what happened after the click. We can connect visits to purchases, enquiry forms, phone calls and real jobs. You see which campaigns create worthwhile orders, rather than judging adverts by clicks alone.
A new shop needs more than a launch day push. Customers may search for the best beans for espresso, fresh coffee subscriptions or coffee supplied to cafés. Useful pages give those searches a clear route into your shop.
SEO and Content costs £249 a month. SEO means improving your website and local information so Google can understand and show it. The service includes two optimised pages or articles each month, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, listing updates, ranking checks and monthly reporting.
We can build content around your real expertise. That might cover roast profiles, grind size, brewing methods, origin stories, freshness dates or choosing coffee for an office. Each page should help someone decide, not simply fill space.
Automated Social Media costs £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram for your approval. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and gives you weekly tasks based on your business, so marketing does not disappear during busy periods.
Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495. It gives you everything needed to start selling properly online, including products, checkout, payments, delivery and the core customer journey. It suits a smaller range or a roaster moving from orders by message.
Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995 and is the package most businesses should take. It is built to grow orders, with a stronger sales structure for subscriptions, product choices, customer follow-up and marketing connections.
Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995. It suits established coffee roasters with real operational complexity, such as larger catalogues, wholesale processes, stock needs or more advanced integrations.
Ecommerce Care is required for every shop and costs £99 a month. It includes hosting, security, daily backups, software updates, uptime checks, up to 30 minutes of monthly content changes and email support. A shop needs more attention than a brochure site because payments, stock and plugins must keep working.
If you want to start without the upfront build cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month on a 24 month term. There is no setup fee. You get a template shop built for your trade, with hosting, care and the AI Receptionist included.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.
A Look North website
Review generation set up so a request goes out after every job, with the results shown on your site.
What happens after launch
A £199 builder site
Nothing. It sits there until you cancel the subscription.
A Look North website
The Marketing Coach gives you a plan broken into weekly jobs, so the site keeps earning its keep.
Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
