We begin by understanding your products, customers and business goals.
Together, we’ll define your store’s functionality, customer journey, payment methods and integrations to create a clear plan for success.

Ecommerce Web Design & Development in Newcastle
Powerful online stores designed to turn visitors into customers and help your business grow.
Lucidflare Tech provides professional ecommerce web design and development for businesses in Newcastle, Gateshead and across the North East.
From launching your first online shop to replacing or improving an existing ecommerce website, we can build a fast, secure and easy-to-manage platform designed around your products, customers and the way your business operates.
Using WordPress and WooCommerce, we can handle everything from product catalogues and online payments to stock management, EPOS integrations and completely bespoke ecommerce functionality.
E-commerce Websites Built to Sell
A successful ecommerce website is about far more than putting products online.
Customers need to be able to find what they’re looking for, understand what they’re buying and complete their purchase without unnecessary friction.
We design ecommerce websites around that entire journey.
From product categories and filtering through to product pages, basket and checkout, every part of your store is designed to make shopping straightforward across desktop, tablet and mobile.
Behind the scenes, we’ll also make sure managing products, stock and orders is as straightforward as possible for your business.
WooCommerce Development
We use WooCommerce to create flexible ecommerce websites built on WordPress.
WooCommerce gives you control over your products, orders, customers and content while providing a platform that can be expanded as your business grows.
But we don’t simply install WooCommerce and an off-the-shelf theme.
With more than 20 years of software development experience, we can customise and extend WooCommerce to meet requirements that standard plugins can’t always solve.
Whether that’s custom product functionality, unusual pricing rules, specialist checkout requirements or integration with another business system, we can build your store around the way your business actually works.

Everything Your Online Store Needs
Product & Category Management
Create and manage products, variations, categories, pricing, images and stock through an easy-to-use administration area.
We can also create advanced product filtering and navigation for larger catalogues, helping customers quickly find the products they’re looking for.
Secure Online Payments
Give customers familiar and convenient ways to pay.
We can integrate leading payment providers and payment methods including Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, depending on the requirements of your store.
Shipping & Delivery
From straightforward delivery charges to more complicated shipping requirements, we’ll configure your store around the way you fulfil orders.
This can include shipping zones, free-delivery thresholds, collection options and integrations with external delivery services.
Mobile-Friendly Shopping
A significant proportion of your customers may be shopping from their phone, so mobile isn’t an afterthought.
Your store will be designed and tested across screen sizes to make browsing products and completing checkout straightforward on mobile devices.
Ecommerce SEO
A great online store isn’t much use if potential customers can’t find it.
We build ecommerce websites with strong SEO foundations, including logical product and category structures, search-friendly URLs, metadata, structured content and the technical foundations required for search engines to properly crawl your store.
Analytics & Conversion Tracking
Understanding how customers find and use your store can help you make better decisions.
We can configure analytics and conversion tracking to help you understand traffic, customer journeys and online sales.
Connect E-commerce With Your Business
Your online shop doesn’t have to operate as a separate part of your business.
We can integrate WooCommerce with the systems and services you already use, reducing manual administration and keeping information synchronised.
This can include:
- EPOS and till systems
- Stock and inventory management
- Accounting software
- Payment providers
- Shipping and fulfilment services
- CRM systems
- Email marketing platforms
- Third-party APIs
- Bespoke internal software
For example, rather than manually updating stock both in-store and online, an appropriate EPOS integration can allow stock information to move automatically between systems.
This is an area where our wider software development experience becomes particularly valuable.
If an off-the-shelf integration doesn’t exist, we may be able to develop one.
A great shopping experience leads to more sales. We design a modern, mobile-friendly store that reflects your brand and makes it effortless for customers to browse, discover products and complete their purchases. Your online store is built using modern, proven technologies. We develop your product catalogue, checkout, payment gateways, shipping options, customer accounts and any bespoke functionality your business requires. Before launch, every aspect of your store is thoroughly tested. We verify payments, checkout, product management, shipping, performance, security and responsiveness to ensure your customers enjoy a smooth shopping experience. When everything is ready, we’ll launch your store with confidence. We handle the deployment, domain configuration, analytics, SEO setup and final checks, ensuring your business is ready to start selling from day one. Launching your store is only the beginning. We provide secure hosting, updates, backups, monitoring and ongoing development, while helping you improve conversion rates, introduce new features and scale your eCommerce business as demand grows.
E-Commerce Solution Process
E-commerce Web Design for Newcastle, Gateshead & North East Businesses
Lucidflare Tech works with businesses in Newcastle, Gateshead and throughout the North East that want to start selling online or get more from an existing ecommerce website.
As an independent local developer, you’ll work directly with the person developing your website rather than having your requirements passed between salespeople, account managers and developers.
That direct relationship is particularly valuable for ecommerce projects, where the website often needs to fit around existing business processes, stock management and other systems.
And because we also provide software development, WordPress development, hosting and SEO, we can continue supporting the technical side of your ecommerce business as it grows.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We can work with existing WooCommerce websites to improve functionality, performance, design, integrations and the overall shopping experience.
Can you integrate my online shop with my EPOS system?
Potentially, yes. This depends on the EPOS platform and the integration options it provides. Where an API or suitable integration method is available, we can investigate connecting it with WooCommerce.
Can you migrate my existing online store?
Yes. We can help migrate products and other store data while planning redirects and other SEO considerations to reduce disruption during the move.
Do you provide ecommerce hosting?
Yes. We provide managed hosting suitable for WordPress and WooCommerce websites along with backups, monitoring, maintenance and ongoing technical support.
Do you use WooCommerce?
Yes. WooCommerce is our primary ecommerce platform and provides a powerful, flexible foundation for businesses that want to sell online using WordPress.
How much does an ecommerce website cost?
The cost depends on the size of your product catalogue, design requirements, functionality and any integrations required. We’ll discuss your requirements and provide a clear quotation based on the store your business actually needs.
Will I be able to manage products myself?
Yes. WooCommerce allows you to manage products, prices, images, stock and orders through WordPress. We’ll make sure you understand how to manage the everyday operation of your store.
