Why choose RIOT

Conversion first

We don't just make it pretty — every layout decision is benchmarked against what's been proven to convert in DTC e-commerce.

Speed obsessed

Most stores fail Core Web Vitals. Ours don't. Faster pages = better Google rankings and more sales.

Local support

Same designer from kickoff through launch and beyond. No outsourcing, no ticket queues — just call us.

FAQ

Do you only build Shopify?
Shopify is our default — it's the best fit for 95% of small e-commerce. We can also build bespoke headless setups when scale or custom logic demands it.
Will I be locked into your hosting?
Never. Shopify is yours, and you have full admin access from day one. Walk away whenever you like.
Can you migrate from Wix / Squarespace / WooCommerce?
Yes — product, content and SEO redirects all included in the price up to 50 SKUs.
Do you handle product photography?
We can — either in-house or via trusted Colchester photographers. Quoted separately so you only pay if you need it.
