How much does an e-commerce website cost in Cheshunt? (2026)
Selling online from Cheshunt? Here's what a proper e-commerce site really costs in 2026 — across Shopify, WooCommerce and custom builds — without the agency markup.
The realistic price brackets
For Cheshunt retailers we typically see: £1,299–£2,500 for a polished Shopify launch (theme + custom design tweaks + product import), £2,500–£6,000 for WooCommerce or bespoke Shopify with custom features, and £8,000+ for headless or fully bespoke commerce. Below £999 you're getting a stock theme with someone's logo dropped in.
Shopify vs WooCommerce vs bespoke
Shopify wins for speed-to-launch and reliability — monthly fees but zero hosting/security headache. WooCommerce is cheaper monthly but you own the maintenance. Bespoke only makes sense at £500k+ revenue or unusual product/pricing logic.
What actually drives revenue
A pretty store doesn't sell — fast page speed, frictionless checkout, trust signals (reviews, returns, delivery clarity) and product photography do. Most £5k stores would convert better at £2k spent on the site and £3k on photography + ads.
Common questions
Shopify or WooCommerce for a small UK business?
Under 200 products and you want to focus on selling — Shopify. Already on WordPress with content/SEO equity — WooCommerce. Either way, avoid Wix and Squarespace for serious commerce.
What about ongoing costs?
Shopify £25–£79/month + apps. WooCommerce £20–£60/month hosting + plugins. Plus payment processing (~1.5–2.9%) on both. Budget £100–£300/month all-in for a healthy small store.
