WHAT IS A WEBSHOP?
A webshop is an online store for selling physical products and services. It is accessible from all devices that have a browser: phones, tablets, desktops, laptops, etc.
At Tiblo, we are experts in the webshop system called WooCommerce. WooCommerce is the most widely used webshop system in the world. In our opinion, it is the best choice for creating webshops for small and medium-sized businesses. WooCommerce is not suited for large businesses (Nike, Adidas, IKEA, JYSK, etc.).
WHAT IS WOOCOMMERCE?
WooCommerce is a plugin to transform your WordPress website into a webshop. It gives you standard functions to create and manage your online store. These include modules for creating products (product description, colour variants, product specifications, images, etc.), monitoring sales, managing inventory, keeping track of your earnings, and much more.
WooCommerce and WordPress are open-source and free to use. Thus, WooCommerce gives you all the basics you need to launch a webshop for free. See more about webshops and WooCommerce in the video below.

BENEFITS OF WOOCOMMERCE

WooCommerce is 100% open-source and free to use.
High Security
The sheer number of WooCommerce webshops globally ensures that security flaws are quickly discovered and corrected.
Numerous Plugins
A large number of free and paid plugins are available for adding extra functionalities and features.
Ease Of Use
WooCommerce is easy to use even if you have no technical experience and knowledge.
No Design Limitations
WooCommerce lets you customise the design completely. This allows you to create the perfect visual appearance and optimal user journey.
SEO Friendly
Woocommerce webshops are SEO friendly and help you rank higher on Google.
Full Ownership
You have complete ownership and rights to your webshop.
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE
WooCommerce is an open-source webshop platform. So, anyone with the appropriate programming skills can code plugins for WooCommerce. A plugin is a package with independent code providing your webshop extra functionality, in addition to the pre-included standard functions.
To get a clear idea about plugins, imagine a webshop that would like to receive orders directly via Facebook Messenger. Not all webshops have this requirement; therefore, this functionality is not a part of the standard WooCommerce installation. To fulfil this need you can install a plugin. Once the plugin is installed, your customers will be able to order items from your webshop through Facebook messenger.
There are many free and paid plugins in the WooCommerce universe. They can meet most of your requirements. If you want special functions in your webshop, and there is no existing plugin that can be used, it is possible to develop the functionality. However, this requires a programmer who can write code. Almost anything can be coded, but coding is more expensive than just installing an existing plugin.
At Tiblo, we are experts in installing plugins and writing code. You are always welcome to contact us if you want a 100% free and non-binding talk regarding plugins and code development.

BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
We understand how important your webshopโs aesthetics are for its users. Therefore, we spend a lot of time and effort creating appealing and functional designs that align with the webshopโs purpose.
Our design process has been appreciated by many of our clients. We start the process by deep diving into your style preferences to decode what delights you, such as colours, fonts, moods, designs of some other webshops you like, etc. Based on these preferences, we create three different design proposals for you to give you multiple options. After that, you select the design you prefer or ask us to provide fresh designs. This is an open-ended iterative process that continues until we arrive at a design you love.
Below are some pictures of designs created by us.ย You donโt need to pick any of these designs, they are just examples. We will customise the design for your webshop according to your wishes.
We have three different design methods. You can select the one you would like us to use for your webshop.
Tiblo Design Template
Choose one of our six beautiful and tested standard templates.
External Standard Template
There are thousands of WooCommerce design templates online. We can use the one you prefer.
Custom Made Design
Our design experts create a webshop design tailored to your needs and preferences.
RESPONSIVE DESIGN
We develop webshops with a โresponsive designโ. Responsive design means that your webshop adapts to the device that visits it. Thus, it doesn't matter whether your visitors use a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop when visiting your webshop. They will always see correct and beautiful graphics tailored to the device they are using. All our webshops contain a responsive design, and you do not have to pay anything extra for it.
OUR COMPETENCIES
Tiblo's competencies include more subject areas than just coding webshops. UX design, UI design, user testing, user behaviour, IT security, business process optimisation, finance, business strategy, marketing, etc., are other important fields that we are knowledgeable in.
Our team includes people with multifaceted expertise that can benefit your project. As an example, one of our experts has worked on business process optimisation (LEAN, Six Sigma, etc.) in some of Denmark's largest companies. Another expert has worked in the field of user research and consumer insights for one of the world's largest data and analytics companies (Nielsen).
We can help and answer all your queries such as: How do I get people to visit my webshop? How do I convert visitors to buyers? How do I ensure an efficient user journey on my webshop? How do I get people to come back and buy again? How do I best communicate with my target audience?
We will incorporate all our multifaceted knowledge and experience into your webshop when we build it.
YOU DO NOT NEED PRIOR KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WEBSHOPS OR PROGRAMMING
If you choose Tiblo to make your webshop, you do not need prior knowledge of webshops or programming. You just need to tell us your initial thoughts and ideas. We will work and guide you through the entire process to transform your ideas into a webshop.
90% of our clients have no technical skills, but that is not a problem at all. We have the skills and experience for effectively communicating complex technical concepts in simple and easy to understand language.ย
On completion of your webshop project, we will share some videos explaining how your webshop functions. These videos demonstrate how to perform basic functions such as how to create a new product in your webshop, how to change an existing product, how to see the number of items sold, etc. If you need further support after watching the videos, we are always available to resolve your queries.

PRICING
FULLY FUNCTIONAL WEBSHOP FROM 900 GBP
We prefer to provide a fixed price for your webshop project. That way, you know the exact cost of the project right at the start itself. However, it is only possible to calculate the amount after we know what you have in mind, such as what functionalities you want in the webshop, what should the design look like, how many products the webshop is expected to handle, etc.
Our prices start from 900 GBP for a simple webshop built with one of our six standard templates.
If you require WooCommerce work done at hourly rates, it costs a maximum of 50 GBP per hour. The hourly rate falls with an increase in the number of hours purchased. 90% of our clients buy fixed-price projects and, in practice, obtain hourly rates that are significantly below 50 GBP per hour.
The mentioned hourly rates apply to all our experts irrespective of their seniority level or domain (project managers, team leads, software architects, senior developers, etc.).
Our prices are significantly lower than many other UK agencies that build webshops. In our experience, our prices are also lower than many agencies in Eastern Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Belarus, Lithuania, etc.) that make webshops. This is, of course, without compromising on quality. You may be wondering how we can offer WooCommerce products of high quality, with short delivery time, at such low prices. The answer lies in The Tiblo Model.
YOU OWN THE RIGHTS
Once the webshop is finalised to your satisfaction and you have paid the entire amount, you own all rights to it. If you decide to do further development in the future, you can continue working with us, find another (external) company or do the work in-house. You own the rights, so itโs all up to you.
HOSTING
After we develop your webshop, you can host it in two ways: either we host your webshop for you, or you can find an external provider for the same. If youโd like us to host the webshop, we will handle all the work, and you donโt have to do anything. We typically use WP Engine or SiteGround, which are some of the biggest WooCommerce hosting providers globally and have a high level of security, performance, speed, and uptime. You can read more about our hosting here.
FREE CONSULTATION
We would be glad to invite you to meetings where we can share our knowledge and learnings about webshops. You can decide the subject for our meetings. We will offer valuable advice regardless of the stage you are at: ideation stage, development stage, a live webshop, etc.
The meetings are 100% free and non-binding. You are in no way obliged to buy anything from Tiblo after these meetings.

Danske Idrรฆt is an independent sports association for employees of Danske Bank in Denmark, with approximately 2,000 members. We needed a new digital platform (mobile app and administration module) to offer our association members a better experience and, at the same time, to simplify the administrative work for our volunteers. Tiblo has been a competent partner while working with us on this new digital platform. Tiblo understood our requirements and took the time needed to understand our organization and pains. We are delighted with the collaboration and the high quality work, offered at a good price.
