Most owners did not start a business to configure payment gateways. They started it to make or source something good and sell it. The store should serve that, not compete with it for your evenings and weekends.
The do-it-yourself reality
Launching a store on your own usually means choosing a theme, installing extensions, setting up products, tax, shipping and emails, then learning why the checkout looks odd on phones. It is doable, and it takes much longer than people expect, because you only learn what you forgot when a customer hits it.
What "done for you" covers
With a StoreAdept build, we do the work. Your package includes:
- The platform with licence and full code access.
- A storefront designed for your industry, from 12 choices.
- Installation on your hosting, with guidance if you do not have any yet.
- Your logo, colours, typography and imagery applied.
- Product and category setup, with attributes and filters.
- Payments, shipping and transactional email, connected and tested.
- Mobile optimisation, SEO foundations and a performance-focused build.
- Training and hands-on help through go-live.
How it runs
- Order and brief. You buy, then tell us about the business and send brand assets.
- We build. Installation, branding, products, payments and emails.
- Review. You walk through a private preview and we refine.
- Launch and train. We go live on your domain and teach you the admin.
A typical build is live in 7 to 10 days from a complete brief.
Choose by what you sell
- A normal retail catalogue: the Standard package, with 12 industry demos you can click through.
- Downloads, license keys or a marketplace: Pro.
- Wholesale and trade accounts: Growth.
Then, optionally, the AI Agents add-on for an assistant on your store and one for you.
What it costs
A one-time price, with "from" meaning that very large catalogues or custom work are quoted before you pay. Afterwards you pay only for hosting and your domain, or for Care if you want us to look after them. Changes later are billed hourly with an estimate first, or through a monthly changes plan.
The honest trade-off
A done-for-you build costs more upfront than a few weeks of your own time on a hosted trial. It costs less than a platform fee that never ends, and far less than the sales you miss while your store is half-finished. If you value your time at all, the arithmetic is worth doing.
Start by looking
The quickest test is to open a demo in your industry and imagine your products in it: browse the live stores. If you are leaving another platform, our notes on WooCommerce and owning your platform will help you plan.
