The Problem

Your Website Keeps Selling What the Counter Already Sold

Retail website development goes wrong when the site keeps its own product list. It shows up on the first busy Saturday, when online orders arrive for items that left the shop hours earlier.

  1. 01 · Stock

    Online orders arrive for items the counter already sold.

    Stock per location flows from your POS, so both channels sell one count.

  2. 02 · Pickup

    Pickup orders sit unseen in an inbox until morning.

    Pickup orders land on the POS screen your staff already watch.

  3. 03 · Gift cards

    Gift cards bought in the shop fail at online checkout.

    One gift card balance works at the counter and on the website.

  4. 04 · Local search

    Nearby searchers can't tell you carry the brand they want.

    In-store products appear on Google through free local listings, with matching store hours.

A customer orders the last blue teapot online at 8 p.m. Your counter sold it at noon, and the website didn't hear about it. Tomorrow starts with a refund, an apology, and a customer who won't trust the pickup button again. Pickup orders sit in an inbox nobody checks until morning. Your gift cards only work in the shop, and your site lists different hours from Google. Nobody searching nearby can tell you stock the brand they want. Two systems keep two stock counts, and you're the one reconciling them.

We start with your POS, not the page design. Products, prices, and stock per location flow from Shopify POS or Square into the site, so a sale at the counter lowers the online count too. Pickup orders arrive where your staff already look. Gift cards work in both places, and your in-store products show on Google. Your stock lives in one place, not in two spreadsheets that disagree by Friday.

  • One stock count for both

    Counter and website sell from the same inventory, per location, without a nightly spreadsheet to reconcile.

  • Pickup your staff can keep

    Pickup and curbside orders show up on the POS, and the customer gets a message when it's ready.

  • Found by nearby shoppers

    Store pages, matching hours, and free Google listings for the products already on your shelves.

Our Retail Website Design and Development Process

From POS Export to Pickup Counter in Five Clear Steps

You approve the stock plan, the pickup rules, and the designs. Then you ring up a test sale and place a test pickup order before launch.

  1. We look at your POS data, your best sellers, and where walk-in and online orders collide today. You get honest notes and a fixed quote. If the web store built into Square or your POS already covers your shop, we'll tell you before we quote.

What's Included

What You Get With a POS-Ready Retail Store Website

Each build covers POS stock sync, pickup and curbside checkout, store and event pages, shared gift cards, local search setup, and staff training for your team.

  • POS product and stock sync

    Products, prices, barcodes, and stock per location come from Shopify POS or Square, so nothing gets typed twice.

  • Pickup and curbside checkout

    Customers choose a store and a pickup option at checkout, then get a message when the order is ready.

  • Store and event pages

    A page per location with hours, holiday hours, parking notes, and upcoming events such as workshops or signings.

  • Gift cards in both channels

    Your POS gift cards sold and redeemed at the counter and online, where your POS supports both.

  • Local search setup

    Google Business Profile links, store schema, and in-store products listed on Google through Merchant Center.

  • Staff training and handoff

    A recorded walkthrough for adding stock, marking pickups ready, and posting events, plus every login handed over.

What Our Clients Say

What Clients Say After Launch

Feedback from teams we have designed and built websites for.

We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

Work Culture

Why Shop Owners Trust Us With Their Website

Your website and your counter share customers, stock, and staff. These habits keep both running on one set of data, so the site helps the shop instead of adding chores.

  • Honest advice on POS web stores

    If the web store built into Square or your POS covers a small range, we'll say so before quoting. Some shops need a better product page, not a new platform.

  • Clean SKUs before anything syncs

    We check your POS for duplicate SKUs, missing barcodes, and items stuck at zero stock before the first sync. Clean data at the counter means fewer wrong orders online.

  • Pickup routines staff can follow

    We map who sees a pickup order, where it waits, and how the customer hears it's ready. A pickup button only helps if your Saturday staff can keep up.

  • Launches outside your busy season

    We schedule go-live away from holiday weekends and back-to-school rushes. Staff learn the new site on a slow weekday, not in the middle of December.

  • Tested on phones near the door

    We test product pages on mid-range phones over mobile data, because shoppers often check a page right before they walk in. A slow page can cost you that visit.

  • Your shop data stays yours

    Your domain, POS, store account, and customer list sit in your own accounts from the first day. At launch, your staff get every admin login and the recorded training.

Good fit

  • Independent shops with one location

    Your gift shop sold a candle online at 9 p.m. that a walk-in bought at noon, and your morning starts with a refund and an apology email.

  • Shops already on Shopify POS or Square

    You ring up every sale on Shopify POS or Square, and you want a website that reads the same stock instead of a second spreadsheet.

  • Retailers with 2 to 5 stores

    You run 3 hardware stores, and callers keep asking which one has the drill in stock. Your site needs stock and pickup shown for each location.

  • Owners looking for a retail specialist

    You want a developer for retail website work who understands barcodes, POS exports, and pickup routines, not only page layouts and colors.

  • Agencies with shop clients

    Your agency has a shop client asking about websites for retail with in-store pickup, and you need the POS and stock side built under your brand.

Not a fit

  • Online-only brand, no shop

    You sell only online and have no counter or POS. Our Ecommerce Website Design Services page fits a store built around shipping instead of pickup.

  • Only need the POS link

    Your website already looks right, but its stock doesn't match the counter. Our POS Integration Services page covers connecting the site you have to your POS.

  • Fresh food with delivery slots

    You sell groceries with delivery windows, substitutions, and produce priced by weight. Our Grocery Store Website Design page is built for that kind of shop.

  • Budget under $1,250

    Your budget is under $1,250. The free web store that comes with Square or your POS is a sensible first step, and we can point you to the settings that matter.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on retail website costs, POS stock sync, pickup in store, local search, and ownership.

  • Start with your product data, not the design. Export products, prices, and barcodes from your POS, pick a platform that syncs with it, and photograph your best sellers first. Then add store hours, pickup options, and a returns page. A website for retail works when it answers the questions your counter staff hear every day.

  • Design it around how people shop your aisles: by category, brand, and occasion, with stock and pickup shown on every product. Keep the home page for new arrivals, store events, and best sellers. Use photos of your own shelves and products where you can, because they show customers what they'll find when they walk in.

  • DeveloperLook's retail builds start at $1,250 for one shop with up to 150 products synced from Shopify POS or Square. Custom designs with up to 1,500 products, shared gift cards, and Google local listings start at $3,400. Multi-store builds for up to 5 locations start at $6,900. You get a fixed quote after the free shop review.

  • Expect the build price plus 3 running costs: your store platform plan, your POS subscription, and card processing fees. Shops already on Shopify POS or Square often add little beyond the online plan, because products and stock already exist. We list every monthly fee in the quote, so your first-year total is clear before you sign.

  • A single shop takes 4 to 5 weeks, and multi-store builds take 6 to 11 weeks. Most of that time goes into product data: matching SKUs, fixing barcodes, and adding photos. A clean POS export speeds things up, and we schedule go-live away from your busiest weeks so staff aren't learning pickups during a rush.

  • We build it on the platform your POS already talks to. Shopify POS and a Shopify online store share one inventory, and Square connects to WooCommerce through the official WooCommerce Square extension. We set stock per location, choose which items sell online, and ring up a test sale to confirm the website count drops.

  • Use Square Online if you sell a small range and its themes fit your brand. Hire a retail website design company when you need custom design, pickup across several stores, or Google local listings set up properly. Square Online is a sensible start for plenty of shops, and the free review tells you which side you're on.

  • Yes, if you want orders you control. Instagram is good for discovery, but your posts don't show what's on the shelf today, and stock questions pile up in your messages. Your own site adds pickup in store, your own customer list, and a page that appears when people search for your shop by name.

  • Yes, through Google's free local listings. Your in-store products go into Google Merchant Center with stock for each store. They can then appear across Google for nearby searchers in supported countries, including the US, UK, Canada, and Australia. Google needs store-level stock, so we feed it from your POS data and check each listing.

  • Your shop owns the website and every piece of data in it. The domain, store account, POS, product listings, and customer list are yours, and your staff hold every admin login from launch day. We cover fixes and questions for 30 to 90 days, depending on plan, then help whenever you open a new location or switch POS providers.
