An online shop built around your business
An online shop that works for your customers — and the people running it.
Your website should make buying straightforward for your customers and managing orders easier for you. That starts with understanding what you sell, who you sell to and how your business operates.
At Developer Rocket, we design and develop eCommerce websites for businesses in Rochester, Kent and across the UK. From small independent shops to established retailers, we create stores that bring together your branding, products and the functionality you need.
Perhaps your customers need help choosing between product options. Perhaps you spend too much time updating stock or processing orders manually. We’ll work through those details with you and build them into the brief.

WooCommerce and Shopify development
WooCommerce development
WooCommerce adds online selling to WordPress, bringing your shop and website content together. It’s a flexible option for businesses that need tailored product pages, specialist ordering features or closer control over how their website works.
We can build a new WooCommerce store or improve an existing one, from the design and checkout through to custom functionality.
Shopify development
Shopify brings your storefront, hosting and day-to-day shop management into one platform. It can suit businesses looking for a central place to manage products, payments and orders.

Moving an existing online shop
We help plan eCommerce migrations to WooCommerce and Shopify, starting with a review of your existing products, content and functionality. We’ll establish which records can transfer and flag anything that needs a different approach.
- Your data: products, categories, customer records and order history, where supported.
- Your search visibility: mapping important URLs, planning redirects and carrying across relevant page information.
- Your operations: checking payments, delivery settings and essential integrations.
- Your launch: coordinating the switch and checking the new store before and after it goes live.
No migration can guarantee unchanged Google rankings, but careful preparation helps reduce avoidable disruption.
Our eCommerce website design process
1. Understand your business
We discuss your products, customers, current challenges and budget. If you already have an online shop, we look at what’s working and what needs to change.
2. Agree the plan
We recommend a platform and define the pages, features, integrations and product setup required. You receive a clear scope and quote before work starts.
3. Design and build
We develop the store around your branding and customer journey, with opportunities for you to review progress and provide feedback.
4. Test the shopping experience
We check the agreed functionality, including product options, basket behaviour, payment setup and delivery rules, across relevant devices.
5. Launch and hand over
Once approved, we launch your website and show you how to manage it. We can also discuss ongoing support as your shop develops.
eCommerce websites we have developed
We built Big Tech Rush’s competition website around a simple goal: making it easy for visitors to browse tech prizes, choose their tickets and enter online.
Built with WooCommerce, the website combines online payments with competition functionality and ticket bundles offering additional entries. Clear product pages bring the prize details and entry options together, while the familiar shop interface helps the team manage orders behind the scenes.
It’s an example of how eCommerce development can support more than traditional retail, adapting the buying experience to the way a business operates.
We designed and built a Shopify store for GoatHerd Coffee, a speciality coffee roaster based in Wouldham, Kent. The website brings their products and story together, helping customers explore the range and discover the people behind their daily brew.
The shop combines one-off purchases with coffee subscriptions, giving customers the option to try something new or have their favourites delivered regularly. Dedicated sections for sourcing, roasting and individual coffees give shoppers more insight into what makes each product different.
A Shopify eCommerce website that captures the personality of an independent business while making its products accessible to customers across the UK.
The Vintage Watch Draw — WordPress Competition Website
We designed and developed a WordPress competition website for The Vintage Watch Draw, a business specialising in collector-grade vintage watches. The website puts each timepiece at the centre of the experience, with detailed descriptions covering its history, condition and craftsmanship.
Competition details, ticket availability and countdowns sit alongside clear entry buttons, helping visitors understand the draw before taking part. Dedicated sections for the watch specialist, authenticity checks and previous winners give customers more information about the business behind the prizes.
A specialist eCommerce website that combines the character of a vintage watch business with the practical features needed to run online competitions.
