An Irish online shop built to sell on a phone

Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act sets accessibility requirements for ecommerce services sold to consumers across the EU, Ireland included (European Commission). A new shop built to them from the start costs far less than retrofitting an old one.

And every abandoned basket from an ad is a click you've already paid for. The free audit shows where buyers leave your shop today.

Irish consumers buying online generally have 14 days to cancel, and the shop has to tell them before they pay (Citizens Information). We put the cancellation and returns information where people look for it, on the product page and at checkout.

Prices in euro with VAT included, delivery options and costs before the basket (An Post, a courier, click and collect), and a checkout with cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal. If you also sell into other EU countries, we plan delivery and VAT settings with your accountant's input rather than guessing.

Shopify is simple to run and takes care of hosting and payments; WooCommerce gives more control and runs on WordPress, which we also use for our websites. Both work well for a small shop. What matters more is how the catalogue is organised and how fast it loads. We recommend one in your proposal, with the reasons.

If you already sell online, the new shop keeps what works: products, customers and order history move where the platform allows, and every old product and category address leads to its new page. That's how you keep the visits Google already sends you.

We plan the move the same way as a website redesign that protects your rankings: a list of the pages that bring visits, a redirect for each one and a check after opening.
