Required Ecommerce Care
UK-wide
One price wherever you trade
Marketplaces can bring orders, but they take a slice before you see your money. You also hand over the customer relationship. Your products sit beside cheaper rivals, while Etsy, Amazon, eBay or Not On The High Street controls the buying experience.
Your own online shop gives you more control. Customers buy from your product pages, pay through your checkout and join your customer list. We build the whole sales system, so orders, stock, delivery and marketing work together from the start.
The problem
Fees come off every order before you count packaging, postage and tax. Your products also compete beside similar listings, making price the easiest comparison and leaving little room for loyal customer relationships.
Build an owned shop around your strongest products.
Marketplace buyers often stay with the marketplace. You may not have permission or a useful way to follow up, request a review, suggest a related product or announce a new collection.
Connect your shop to customer email marketing.
A spreadsheet, marketplace listing and physical shelf can all show different stock. One missed update can create a refund, an apology and a damaged customer relationship, especially during a seasonal rush.
Connect stock rules before adding more sales channels.
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.
£2,495
Everything you need to start selling properly online.
Best for: Businesses launching their first serious online store.
£3,995
Built to grow orders, not just take them.
Best for: Shops that need marketing, automation and repeat custom built in.
Everything in Launch, plus:
From £5,995
For established businesses with real operational complexity.
Best for: Larger catalogues, trade pricing, subscriptions and systems that must talk to each other.
Everything in Growth, plus options such as:
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.
All prices exclude VAT.

No setup fee. A template site built for your trade, with hosting, care and the AI receptionist included. For businesses who want to start now without the upfront cost.

Two minutes of questions and we will send back a real number, not a range. Website packages start at £1,295, ecommerce from £2,495, and there is a no upfront option at £199 a month.
The result
Customers buy directly from your own shop, so marketplace fees no longer sit between every order and your bank account. You can choose where to invest that margin, from stock to packaging or promotion.
Buyers can hear about new products, restocks and useful follow-up offers from your business. You build a relationship you can continue, rather than starting again with every marketplace listing.
Payments, stock, delivery choices and customer details arrive in one system. You spend less time copying information between tools and more time making, sourcing, packing and improving your range.
01
A catalogue shows products. A proper online shop sells them, takes payment and records what happened. We connect each part around your daily work, so you can pack yesterday's orders without checking messages, spreadsheets and payment accounts one by one.
02
People leave when they cannot find the detail they need. We shape each product page around the buying decision, not just a product photo and a short description. Customers can check fit, finish, delivery and returns before they reach the basket.
More detail
The rest of what product businesses ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.
Your checkout should make payment feel simple and safe. We build for phones first, because customers may buy during a commute, lunch break or evening on the sofa. The final screen shows the full cost, so postage does not become an unpleasant surprise.
Postage becomes expensive when rules live in your head. We set delivery choices once, based on your products, destinations and margins. Stock levels update with orders, so the shop does not promise an item that is already sitting in another customer's basket.
Customers often search for a product before they know which shop to choose. We prepare your product and category pages for those searches. We also connect Google Merchant Centre, which sends your product details into Google Shopping, and the Meta catalogue for follow-up adverts.
A basket left behind does not always mean the customer said no. They may have been interrupted, comparing delivery costs or waiting for payday. We connect Mailchimp or Klaviyo and set helpful follow-up emails, without relying on you to remember each abandoned order.
Sales data should help you decide what to do next. We set up ecommerce tracking in GA4, Google's measurement platform, so you can see revenue by channel and product. You can also find the point where shoppers leave before paying.
Ecommerce Launch costs £2,495 and suits a shop with around 30 products. Ecommerce Growth costs £3,995 and is the package most businesses should take, with the marketing automation needed to bring customers back. Ecommerce Pro starts from £5,995 for more complex operations.
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.
