eCommerce Website
eCommerce website development for businesses in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean. A storefront, payment integrations and a catalogue your team can manage, designed and built by one studio.
Plan your store
Your market and checkout
Start with where you sell, your catalogue, delivery process and payment provider. Confirm provider availability for your business before choosing the checkout integration.

Explore the studio portfolio before discussing the storefront and buying experience your business needs.
View the portfolioWhat we build
Storefront
UX and UI drawn around how people shop your catalogue: find, compare, add, check out. Easy navigation and a related items feature, because the cheapest sale to make is the second one in the same basket.
Checkout and payments
Payment integrations with a secure checkout. Card data is never stored, payment runs through a secure gateway, passwords are hashed and every page is served over SSL.
Cart
A flexible cart that lets guests buy without registering. Forcing an account before checkout is the most expensive friction a store can add.
Speed and search
SEO optimisation, speed performance and mobile optimisation are part of the build. Analytics is set up before launch so you can see what sells from day one.
Integrations
Payment gateways and mobile wallets available in your market, plus the inventory, accounting or CRM tools the business already runs, so orders do not have to be copied between systems by hand.
Features that turn visitors into buyers
Contact and trust details
Location with a map, phone, email and a contact form, placed where shoppers look first, together with delivery information, opening hours and social links. Buyers check these before they trust a store with a card.
A clear call to action
Each product page leads to one action: add to cart. Categories and product search exist to get shoppers to that button with the least effort.
Product reviews
Room for customer reviews on product pages. What other buyers say about a product is often what convinces someone still deciding.
Catalogue management
Products, prices, stock and categories managed from the panel, with photos and variants such as size or colour.
Order notifications
Order confirmations for the customer and new-order alerts for your team, so no sale sits in the panel unnoticed.
A store is not a company website with a cart
A product database
A company website presents the business. A store also runs a database of products, prices, stock and orders, and every page is built to move a shopper toward checkout.
Built to be run every week
Adding products, changing prices, running a discount and processing orders happen in the panel all the time, so the admin side gets as much design attention as the storefront.
Found product by product
Product and category pages are structured for search engines, because shoppers often search for the product before they search for a shop.
Why sell online
Reach beyond your location
An online store sells to customers across the island, across the Caribbean or further, wherever you are able to deliver.
Open around the clock
Customers buy when it suits them, late at night or on a public holiday, and the store takes the order while you are closed.
Lower overheads
No extra shop floor to rent and fewer hours behind a counter. Stock, orders and payments are handled from one panel.
Less risk on new products
A new product or line can be listed and tested online before it earns shelf space, so you learn what sells before you stock up on it.
Room for niche products
A specialised product that would struggle on one high street can find enough buyers online, because the store reaches the people searching for it.
Buying that feels personal
Related items, recently viewed products and order history help shoppers find the next thing they need, and give them a reason to come back.
Packages
Professional
Up to 8 pages and up to 100 products, one year of domain and twelve months of hosting, with business mail. The right size for a first store with a focused catalogue.

Unlimited pages and up to 350 products, one year of domain and twelve months of hosting. For a shop with real catalogue depth and more than one category to merchandise.
Premium
Unlimited pages and unlimited products, two years of domain and twelve months of hosting. For a business whose store is the main channel and expects the catalogue to keep growing.
How a build runs
Collecting data
We go through your products and your market, then sit down with you to get the vision on paper before anything is designed.
Planning
Selling, payment, delivery, support and billing all get mapped before a page is drawn. It is a complex process behind the scenes, and the whole point is that the shopper never feels it.
Implementation
The longest stretch. We build, test and correct until checkout holds up on every device, and only then does the store go live.
Test orders
Before launch we run test orders through the cart, the payment and the confirmation emails, so the first real customer is not the one who finds the problem.
What we need from you
Your catalogue
Product names, descriptions, photos, prices and variants, ideally in a spreadsheet. The catalogue is what most often holds up a store launch, so we ask for it early.
Payments and delivery
Your payment provider account, delivery areas and shipping rules. We confirm the provider integrates with the platform before the checkout is built.
Brand material
Your business concept, logo and social media links, plus anything that helps us understand how the business presents itself.
Approval
Work begins once the written quote and scope are approved, so both sides agree on what the store includes before it is designed.
Before you ask
What does it cost?
It depends on the catalogue size and the package you pick. You get a fixed quote in writing after the first call.
Can I add products myself?
Yes. You get panel access to manage the catalogue. Structural changes we handle so nothing breaks.
Is checkout secure?
Card data is never stored, payment goes through a secure gateway, and the whole site runs over SSL on hardened hosting.
What platform is the store built on?
WordPress by default, with Shopify or Magento when the catalogue or the workflow calls for it. We recommend one after seeing what you sell and how you deliver it.
Will it work on phones?
Yes. The store is responsive on phone, tablet and desktop, and checkout is tested on mobile before launch.
Will the store appear on Google?
It is built with the technical groundwork search engines need to crawl and index products and categories. Rankings depend on your market and your content, so we do not promise positions.
Do you maintain the store after launch?
Ongoing support can be added once the store is live, for updates, new features and the structural changes you should not make yourself.
Do I need a payment provider already?
It helps, but it is not required. If you do not have one yet, we go through the providers that operate where you sell and integrate with the platform, and you open the account in your business name.
What is hosting?
The server space where the store's files and orders live. Hosting and domain come with the package; after the included period they renew at a monthly or annual cost.
Can the store connect to my inventory or accounting system?
Often, yes. We review what your current tools can exchange during planning, because that integration decides a large part of the scope.
Planning resources
Before launch
Check payment, inventory, delivery and measurement before opening the store.
