Ecommerce
The online marketplace offers a valuable opportunity to extend your business beyond a physical store. An e-commerce platform allows you to sell products online, reaching a broader audience and fostering business growth. While there are costs associated with setting up an online store, they are significantly lower compared to those of a physical location. With the right tools, starting to sell online can be surprisingly straightforward and effective for driving your business forward.
Ecommerce Platforms
Choose the best sales platform for your specific needs to maximise effectiveness. Each platform caters to different business sizes and requirements:
Hikashop: User-friendly and highly customizable.
Magento: Ideal for larger stores.
Shopify: Cost-effective among paid services.
WooCommerce: Seamlessly integrates with WordPress.
BigCommerce: Simple to set up a basic online store.
Selling Online

Start Selling Online
When it comes to selling products online, you have a variety of platforms to choose from, each with its own unique benefits. Paid services like BigCommerce and Shopify offer convenience by handling hosting and maintenance, though they might limit your design and customization options. On the other hand, free open-source platforms such as Magento and Hikashop give you full control over your site, but require you to manage your own hosting and possess the technical know-how to set up and customize the site effectively. Each option has its strengths, so selecting the right one depends on your specific needs and preferences.
Ecommerce at Identity
Identity specializes in designing and building e-commerce websites from our base in Ipswich. Being local greatly benefits our projects, particularly for businesses in the area, but we also work with clients across various sizes and industries.
Our Ipswich office is available for face-to-face meetings to discuss any current or upcoming web projects you may have.
The strong business network in Ipswich supports our project development, and while we collaborate extensively with local businesses, we also have solid connections with companies in Stowmarket and nearby areas.
We recently decided to update our business with a new logo and website. We could not have asked for a better team to enable us to do so. Gavin and the Identity team patiently listened to what we wanted to achieve and offered plenty of advice, knowledge and design concepts. Nothing was too much trouble, with communication flowing freely throughout the planning, execution and transitioning process. Our website and new logo are now live and we have had such a positive response from both our old and new customers. Thank you, Gavin and team, for all your support throughout and ongoing, in making the completion of this project both smooth and successful.- Yvonne Jewell, Director
Case Study - Lumberjacks
Introducing Lumberjacks. Lumberjacks approached identity looking to revitalise their logo, branding and replace their existing website with something much slicker and easier to manage.
The old website was flooded with colour, the new site utilises the colourful branding in a contemporary way with easy to use navigation throughout the website.
We created a feature rich ecommerce platform to cater for Lumberjacks diverse requirements. After working closely together with the client, we were able to fine-tune these features and create a site that did everything the client needed it to, allowing for easy amendment of products on the go and more.
Payments are taken securely via their preferred payment gateway PayPal, which has been integrated into the site to ensure a smooth experience.
The flexible e-commerce system allows for mass upload of categories, products, and related content saving time and resources in what could of been a time consuming process to do so.
