Marketplace fees eat your margin
Every marketplace order gives away part of your sale. You also lose control of the customer relationship. Furniture margins must cover delivery, storage and returns, so that lost margin matters.
Ecommerce for furniture retailers
Build an ecommerce website for furniture retailers that handles products, payments, delivery, tracking and marketing from day one. Ecommerce websites start at £2,495, with a complete online sales system built around how your furniture business actually works.

Marketplaces can bring orders, but they take a slice from each sale. Etsy, Amazon, eBay and Not On The High Street also keep the customer relationship. You may never receive a useful email list, repeat buying opportunity or clear view of who purchased your furniture.
Your own online shop works differently. You control the product pages, checkout, customer data and follow-up emails. You keep more of each order and can build trust around your brand, delivery service, materials and care advice. That matters when shoppers are comparing high-value furniture.
The problem
Every marketplace order gives away part of your sale. You also lose control of the customer relationship. Furniture margins must cover delivery, storage and returns, so that lost margin matters.
A basic website may show a few photographs but not dimensions, finishes, care instructions or lead times. Shoppers then call with simple questions, leave uncertain or buy from a clearer competitor.
Bulky furniture needs more planning than a small parcel. If your website does not explain postcodes, room access, stairs, installation and delivery dates, your team repeats the same answers all day.
What you get
Every client also takes Website Care at £59 a month. Everything else is modular.
Pricing

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 find products, understand delivery, pay securely and receive confirmation without marketplace friction. You own the buying journey and keep the customer relationship for future purchases.
Detailed product pages answer questions about size, materials, finishes and lead times. Shoppers arrive better informed, which reduces hesitation and gives your team more useful conversations.
Forms collect product, postcode, access, installation and timing details. You spend less time chasing basic information and more time pricing work that fits your delivery operation.
01
We build your online shop as the centre of your sales system. Customers can browse ranges, compare sizes, choose finishes, pay securely and receive order updates without waiting for someone to answer the phone. You can manage products, prices, stock and orders from one place, while your showroom team gets on with serving customers.
Furniture sales often involve more thought than buying a small household item. Product pages can show dimensions, materials, care details, delivery areas, lead times and room photographs. Clear information cuts down avoidable questions and helps serious buyers decide before they contact you.
We connect the shop to the tools that support growth. That includes payments, delivery information, customer emails, Google Shopping, sales tracking and abandoned basket recovery. Your website keeps working after the showroom closes, including evenings and weekends.
02
People often search for furniture near home because they want to visit a showroom, check comfort or discuss delivery. We help your business show up when people search for furniture in Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and nearby areas.
Your Google Business Profile is the listing that appears in Google Search and Maps. We keep its services, opening hours, photographs, products and contact details useful and accurate. We also connect it clearly to your shop, so local shoppers can move from a search to a product or showroom visit.
Our local search work builds useful pages around your ranges and service areas. We can target searches for sofas, beds, dining tables, mattresses, wardrobes and other products you actually sell. From our Newcastle base, we cover North Shields, South Shields, Whitley Bay, Wallsend, Jarrow, Washington, Cramlington and Blyth, as well as businesses across the UK.
More detail
The rest of what furniture retailers ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.
Furniture enquiries are rarely useful when they only say, "How much?" We build quote and contact forms that collect the information your team needs. A customer can choose the product, size, finish, quantity, delivery postcode and preferred contact method before sending the enquiry.
For made-to-order or larger items, the form can ask about room access, stairs, parking, installation and required dates. That gives you a better starting point for a quote. It also helps your team spot delivery issues before promising a price or date.
The form sends a clear enquiry to the right person and records its source. You can see whether it came from Google, an advert, a product page or a direct visit. This makes follow-up quicker and shows which parts of the shop bring real opportunities.
Furniture buyers want reassurance before spending hundreds or thousands of pounds. They look for signs that the product matches its photographs, the delivery team turns up and problems get handled properly. Reviews and real project photographs answer those concerns before a customer calls.
We help you request a review after each completed order or delivery. The timing can reflect your sales process, so customers receive the request after they have had time to inspect the furniture. Review links make it simple for happy customers to share their experience.
Your best proof can then appear across the website and Google Business Profile. Use reviews beside sofas, beds or dining ranges where they support the purchase. Delivery photos, showroom images and customer comments give shoppers reasons to trust you over an unknown marketplace seller.
A furniture retailer can miss good enquiries while serving customers, unloading stock or making deliveries. Our AI Receptionist answers 24 hours a day in your business name. It gives callers a helpful first response instead of sending them to voicemail.
It takes the details you choose, such as the product they want, postcode, delivery question, budget and preferred appointment time. It can sort urgent matters from general enquiries, then text the information to you immediately. You can call back with the right context.
The AI Receptionist costs £169 a month on its own. Care plus Receptionist costs £199 a month, combining ecommerce website care with the receptionist. It does not replace your judgement or showroom service. It makes sure fewer potential orders disappear because nobody answered at that moment.
When you are ready to buy leads, Google Ads can put your furniture in front of people searching for it now. We manage the campaigns, write and test adverts, adjust bids and budgets, and remove searches that waste money.
For furniture retailers, the advert should lead to the relevant range or product, not a generic home page. Someone searching for a corner sofa should see corner sofas, delivery information and a clear route to buy or request help. Better matching gives shoppers less work to do.
Google Ads Management costs £449 a month. Your advertising budget is paid directly to Google and is never marked up by us. We track calls, forms, basket activity and orders where the shop allows it. Monthly reporting shows which clicks became genuine enquiries or sales.
A new shop is the starting point, not the finished marketing plan. Search engines need useful information about your products, delivery areas and buying advice. Our SEO and Content service costs £249 a month and adds two optimised pages or articles each month.
Content could explain how to measure for a sofa, choose a mattress, prepare for furniture delivery or care for solid wood. These pages answer real questions and give shoppers another route into your product ranges. We also work on local search, Google Business Profile posts, business listings and monthly position reports.
Automated Social Media costs £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram, with one monthly approval session. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and turns your priorities into weekly tasks. You can add either service when you need it.
Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495. It gives smaller furniture retailers everything needed to start selling properly online. It suits a focused range, a clear delivery area and a business moving away from relying on marketplaces or enquiries alone.
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 larger ranges, better marketing connections and more room for product, delivery and customer journeys.
Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995. It suits established retailers with real operational complexity, such as many product variations, stock feeds, multiple delivery rules or more advanced connections. We confirm the exact scope after understanding how your business works.
Ecommerce Care is required for every shop and costs £99 a month. It includes hosting, secure connection protection, daily backups, security monitoring, software updates, uptime monitoring, up to 30 minutes of monthly content changes and email support. There is also a no upfront option at £199 a month over 24 months, with no setup fee.
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.
