Freelance WooCommerce developer for UK online shops, bookings and ticketing
I’m a freelance WooCommerce developer in London, building custom online shops, booking systems and ticketing platforms on WordPress for businesses across the UK.
Stores are designed around your products and customers, and built to stay fast when traffic spikes.
I also look after the parts customers notice after they buy – branded order emails, booking confirmations and the notifications that keep them informed.
Brands I’ve worked with
A WooCommerce developer who looks at the whole journey
Most online shops lose customers in small ways: a slow product page, a confusing checkout, an order email that looks like spam. I build WooCommerce stores with the whole customer journey in mind, from the first product page to the confirmation that lands in their inbox.
I build shops, booking systems and ticketing on WooCommerce, from a listed stately home taking glamping bookings during a TV series to everyday online shops. Each one is custom-built around how that business sells, rather than bending the business to fit a template.
Why work with me
Bookings and ticketing, not only shops
Tours, rooms, vehicles, events and exhibitions. If people book or buy it, I can build it in WooCommerce.
Built for busy days
Stores tuned for speed and tested for load, so a sale, a launch or a TV mention doesn’t take your site down.
Emails customers trust
Branded order and booking emails, so the conversation after checkout feels as polished as the shop.
You deal directly with me
One developer who knows your store inside out, from build to ongoing support.

WooCommerce FAQs
Why use WooCommerce instead of Shopify?
WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so your shop and your content live in one place and you own both. There are no platform transaction fees on top of your payment provider, and it can be customised far more deeply. Shopify suits some shops better, and I’ll tell you if yours is one of them.
Can WooCommerce handle bookings and events?
Yes. Booking systems and ticketing platforms are a big part of my WooCommerce work. For Melbourne Hall I added online booking for glamping vehicles during a Channel 4 series.
Will my shop cope with a sudden spike in traffic?
With the right hosting and caching, yes. During a prime-time TV broadcast the Melbourne Hall site handled over 100,000 concurrent users with zero downtime.
Can you improve or fix my existing WooCommerce store?
Yes. I regularly work on stores someone else built – speeding them up, fixing checkout problems, tidying plugins and adding features.
Can you customise the order emails customers receive?
Yes. I design and build branded WooCommerce emails for orders, bookings and accounts, and set up the follow-up notifications that keep customers informed.
Which payment gateways do you work with?
Stripe, PayPal and the other gateways WooCommerce supports. I set up and test them on staging before your store takes real payments.
Can I migrate from Shopify to WooCommerce?
Yes. I move shops to WooCommerce from Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and other platforms. Products, customers and orders can usually be moved across, with every old product and category URL redirected so you keep your search rankings, and payments tested before the switch. See WordPress migration.
