At Visionsharp, we specialise in designing and developing high-performing, custom WooCommerce websites tailored to the unique needs of our clients. Whether you're launching a new eCommerce brand or migrating from another platform, our process ensures a smooth, scalable, and results-driven solution. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we build bespoke WooCommerce sites from start to finish.

1. Discovery & Strategy

Every successful project begins with a deep dive into your business. During this initial phase, we:

  • Understand your goals, target audience, and key challenges
  • Analyse any existing site or data to identify opportunities
  • Research competitors and your market positioning
  • Define technical requirements and integrations (e.g. payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs)

We then produce a detailed project scope and roadmap to guide the build.

2. UX Planning & Wireframing

Before diving into design, we focus on structure. We create wireframes for key templates, ensuring:

  • A smooth user journey from landing to checkout
  • Optimised layout for conversion and usability
  • A logical content hierarchy that supports your goals

This step is all about aligning your vision with what works best for your customers.

3. Bespoke Design

Our design team brings your brand to life with custom visuals crafted for performance and impact. Every page is designed in line with your branding, tone of voice, and audience expectations.

We focus on:

  • Clean, modern aesthetics
  • Mobile-first and fully responsive layouts
  • Clear calls to action and conversion-focused design principles

We’ll share interactive design prototypes for feedback before development begins.

4. Custom WooCommerce Development

This is where the magic happens. Our in-house developers build your site from the ground up using clean, scalable code – no bloated off-the-shelf themes here.

We develop:

  • Custom WooCommerce templates and functionality
  • Flexible product and category structures
  • Seamless checkout flows and custom payment/shipping logic
  • Integration with third-party tools, APIs, or systems

Your site is built to perform, load fast, and scale with your business.

5. Content Population & SEO Foundations

Whether you’re supplying content or we’re writing it, we ensure your site is populated with SEO-friendly, structured content that supports both users and search engines.

This includes:

  • Optimised product descriptions and meta data
  • Category page content to support rankings
  • Structured data (schema) for rich search results
  • On-page SEO best practices baked in from the start

6. Testing & Quality Assurance

Before launch, we rigorously test the site to ensure everything functions perfectly. Our QA process includes:

  • Cross-browser and cross-device testing
  • Functionality and form testing
  • Checkout, payments, and email notifications
  • Speed, performance, and security checks

We also provide a staging environment for your final review and sign-off.

7. Launch & Post-Launch Support

When everything’s approved, we plan and execute a smooth launch, including:

  • Final data migration (if applicable)
  • DNS updates and go-live support
  • Google Analytics and tracking setup
  • 301 redirects and launch SEO checklist

Post-launch, we remain on hand for support, training, and any future enhancements.
