Quick answer

What does an ecommerce consultant do?

An ecommerce consultant reviews how an online store performs and decides what to do next: which platform and apps to use, where customers drop off, which features or markets to invest in and in what order. Good consulting ends with a prioritised roadmap your team can act on — not a slide deck that sits in a drawer.

  • Audits of store, data and tech stack
  • Platform and replatforming decisions
  • A prioritised roadmap with costs

Straight answers

Questions worth asking Questions worth asking

The things brands actually ask us before a build — answered properly, including the times the answer is that you do not need us.

  • What does an ecommerce consultant cost?

    It depends on the depth of the work: a single strategy session costs far less than a full audit and roadmap. We quote a fixed price for each engagement after a short call.

  • Do I need a consultant or an agency?

    If you know what to build, an agency builds it. If you are unsure which platform, features or markets to invest in, a short consulting engagement first saves money. We do both, so the advice is grounded in what things really cost to build.

  • Will you push us to rebuild our store?

    No. Many audits end with small, high-impact fixes rather than a rebuild. We recommend whatever gives the best return, even when that is less work for us.

  • Can you help us choose between Shopify and WooCommerce?

    Yes. We compare both on your catalogue, team skills, integrations, running costs and growth plans, and give a clear recommendation with the reasons.

  • What do we receive at the end of an audit?

    A written report with every finding, a prioritised roadmap with effort and cost for each item, and a walk-through call with your team to answer questions.

  • Can your team build what you recommend?

    Yes, if you want us to — or your own team or another agency can use the roadmap. The plan is yours to keep either way.
