Hosting
PKR 8K to 40K a month for hosting that can handle a store. Not the PKR 1K shared hosting a brochure site runs on. This is where most underperforming WooCommerce stores went wrong.
Phase 1 · Build

Content + commerce
The real problem
When a Hosted Platform Gets in the Way
WooCommerce is usually chosen for one of two reasons: content matters as much as commerce, or the numbers on a hosted platform stopped working.
Both are good reasons. The trouble is that WooCommerce gives you complete freedom, and complete freedom is how stores end up with thirty plugins, a checkout customised past the point anyone understands, and a category page that takes twelve seconds.
WooCommerce rewards careful building and punishes casual building far more than Shopify does — because Shopify won’t let you make some of the mistakes WooCommerce will.
The explainer
What WooCommerce Actually Costs to Run
No platform fee, no percentage of sales. That’s real. Here’s what it costs instead.
Maintenance
WordPress core, WooCommerce, the theme and every plugin need regular updating, and updates occasionally break things. Someone has to own this. If nobody does, you eventually get a security incident or a broken checkout.
Plugins
Often one-off or annual rather than monthly, which usually works out cheaper than Shopify’s app subscriptions over time.
Development time
More configuration, because more is configurable.
The honest summary
WooCommerce is generally cheaper at volume and more expensive in attention. It suits businesses with technical capacity or a willingness to pay for maintenance. If you want ecommerce you never think about, Shopify is the better answer.
How it works
How Projects Actually Run
- Step 01 of 05
Free audit and scope
We look at what exists, what’s working and what isn’t, then agree a written scope and fixed price before anything starts.
- Step 02 of 05
Plan and structure
The decisions that matter get made first — architecture, targeting or process mapping depending on the work.
- Step 03 of 05
Build or launch
Delivery, with everything documented as we go rather than at the end.
- Step 04 of 05
Test and verify
Checked properly before it goes live, not after someone reports a problem.
- Step 05 of 05
Measure and adjust
Reporting on what the work produced, with a call rather than just a document.

Everything in your name
Is this you?
You’re Probably the Right Fit If
- 01Content and SEO matter as much as the shop
- 02You want full control over checkout
- 03Per-sale fees are eating thin margins
- 04You need custom pricing, roles or B2B features
- 05You have or will pay for maintenance
- Sounds like you?Get a Free Store Audit
Not right if
Nobody will own maintenance, or you want ecommerce that runs itself.
Where this fits
Build Is Phase One of Four
Phase01of 04Build
A build done properly makes everything after it cheaper.
Schema, clean structure and tracking installed at launch mean SEO in phase two starts on day one rather than spending six weeks on remediation. Forms built expecting a CRM mean phase three needs no rewiring. And content structured to be extractable is what the AI search work in phase two depends on.

01Is WooCommerce cheaper than Shopify?
Usually at volume, because there’s no per-sale fee. Less so at low volume once hosting and maintenance are counted.
02Can you migrate from Shopify?
Yes. The critical part is mapping every product and collection URL before launch.
03Who handles updates and security?
Either you, or us on a maintenance plan. What matters is that somebody does.
04Will it be fast?
Yes, if built for it — proper hosting, disciplined plugin use, caching and image optimisation. WooCommerce isn’t inherently slow.
05Can it handle a large catalogue?
Yes, with the right hosting and database configuration. Thousands of products is normal.
06Can you build B2B functionality?
Yes — trade pricing, customer groups, quote requests, minimum orders. This is where WooCommerce clearly beats hosted platforms.
07Does it work with Pakistani payment gateways?
Generally better than Shopify does — more local integration options exist.
08Who owns everything?
You do, completely. It’s your WordPress install on your hosting.
