The Ecommerce agency that drives sales

Getting the fundamentals of Ecommerce web design right can be the difference between success and failure.

A well-performing Ecommerce site is your 24/7 salesperson that delivers the revenue you're aiming for. Ascensor have been building sophisticated, customisable shopping experiences that sit at the heart of your customer journey since 2007.

From early ideas to life after launch, the team keeps your objectives, customer expectations and sector pressures in view.

It all works best when the whole Ecommerce journey feels simple, from first search to online checkout.

Ecommerce web design is our specialist subject; and in highly competitive markets with rivals fighting for each sale, you need a partner with a proven track record of delivering results for a range of leading brands, startups and smaller businesses.

As an Ecommerce agency specialising in sites built to sell, we work with Ecommerce brands across different stages of business growth, from ambitious startups to established and international brands.

We develop Ecommerce websites to suit your budget and design a digital marketing strategy that delivers results. That gives you clarity on what to expect, where we’re making improvements and how each change supports stronger engagement. Whatever the solution, it will scale as your business evolves, nurturing your visitors and supporting your growth.

Every recommendation is shaped by your Ecommerce strategy, brand positioning and commercial goals, so the work is built to deliver measurable results.

A successful Ecommerce business needs more than a good-looking Ecommerce store; it needs clear sales strategies, useful customer data and a plan for how the business grows.

ISO certified

Ascensor is one of only a handful of digital agencies in Leeds to achieve ISO 27001 certification, ensuring the highest standards for website and data security. ISO 27001 accreditation gives our clients assurances that data is processed securely across all our departments, from website design development to digital marketing and accounts. We’ve completely ingrained ISO 27001 methodology across the entire digital agency, from physical building access control security through to delivery of services.

We pride ourselves on world-class information security - and we can prove it to our clients. Our certification guarantees that when you come to us, you're working with a web design and development agency that offers optimal site security. This means your users can have peace of mind when sharing their personal and banking data with your site.

That matters when customers share customer data, payment details and login details while they shop online or pay online.

Bespoke Ecommerce web design

We understand the time-consuming effort of using a SaaS platform to drag and drop your site together, only to realise that you're suddenly being hit with hidden fees, a lack of control and no support. That's where a bespoke Ecommerce website will work for your business.

Choosing the right Ecommerce platform matters, so we’ll help you weigh up Shopify, Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce and other platforms before any build begins.‍‍‍

Your own Ecommerce website gives you full control over the digital storefront, from how you present your own products to how customers buy online.‍‍

All of our bespoke Ecommerce sites are built with your business in mind, meaning you know from day one that your website is unique to you. Our Ecommerce solutions are scalable, so you can rest easy knowing that when the time comes and the sales are flooding in, your website will meet the demand.‍

A strong technical foundation means your store can grow without unnecessary compromise as traffic, products and customer needs become more diverse.‍

You’ll also get clear guidance on scope and transparent pricing, so there are no surprises halfway through the project.‍

If you already run a physical shop, we can help you take the business online with a store that reflects the way you sell, package and deliver products.

Ecommerce app development

Apps are a great way to build loyalty with customers. If you're an Ecommerce business then you have even more reason to want to be in your customers' pocket when they need you. Our Ecommerce app development offers a sleek mobile experience that works to convert more new customers and in turn create even more brand loyalty.‍

Every build is responsive, fast and shaped around the small moments that turn mobile attention into action.‍

We can also use app features, account tools and personalised prompts to foster customer loyalty and make repeat buying easier.‍

Mobile commerce keeps growing because people research, compare and buy through mobile devices throughout the day.‍

Our highly-skilled team love to develop Ecommerce apps that are fully optimised and offer a straightforward user-centric approach.‍

We build app journeys that help customers online find what they need, shop online with less friction and come back for repeat purchases.

User login area development

A vital part of customer loyalty is allowing users to create their own account on your Ecommerce site. We can develop a user login area for your website to add a genuinely personalised experience. We'll work with you to develop a reliable, secure and user-friendly system that your customers, clients, members or colleagues can access quickly and safely. The right account area can empower customers to manage repeat orders, saved details and preferences with confidence. Our specialists will develop the perfect structure for your Ecommerce needs.‍

Secure account areas also support customer satisfaction by making saved addresses, order history and repeat purchases easier to manage.

Ecommerce UX design

The development of our Ecommerce websites starts with UX design. The focus for Ecommerce UX design is to convert - and that's exactly what we achieve. Our UX design team will ensure that your new Ecommerce site is built to increase your online sales, enhance loyalty and retain happy customers by planning and implementing a site design that offers a seamless customer experience.

‍‍We use research, testing and a passion for clear journeys to turn good ideas into design decisions your customers understand.‍

Our design solutions are shaped around real customer behaviour, giving you a clearer route from first visit to conversion optimisation.‍

That includes product pages, product listings, high-quality images, competitive pricing messages and checkout steps that help potential buyers make confident online purchases.

Order management development

Slick order management is at the heart of great customer service. Our Ecommerce solutions come complete with an order workflow system to help you manage your orders easily and effectively. We'll take the time to understand your business and build websites and order management systems that offer tailored solutions to your exact requirements.

‍From stock control to fulfilment flows, we deliver tailored solutions that reduce admin and help your team stay focused on customers.‍

The right setup supports the entire process after a sale, helping you process orders, update stock and deliver products without avoidable delays.

Shopify specialists

Scale your Ecommerce site with our Shopify experts. We deliver tailored custom development and design to engage your customers and help you reach your business goals. Whether your existing Shopify site needs a refresh or you need a site built from scratch, we create beautiful Ecommerce sites that encompass your brand, showcase your products and provide exceptional performance for a smooth user experience. Our dedicated support team are on hand whenever you need them, for peace of mind, speedy problem-solving and efficient solutions.

‍Our Shopify specialists balance craft, tech and trading insight, which helps your store stay easy to manage once it’s live.‍

From Shopify development and custom Shopify development to larger Shopify Plus projects, we build Shopify stores that are practical for your team and persuasive for your customers.‍

We also help Shopify merchants improve the parts of an Ecommerce store that matter most, from product discovery to payment providers and checkout performance.

Custom website extensions & integrations

It's vital that your Ecommerce website works for your business, that's why we know how important it is that your site is integrated with your current platforms and systems.

We explore how your current platforms, stock systems and reporting tools need to work together before recommending any integration.‍‍

Our web developer team can custom integrate third-party systems and extensions to allow all the functionality needed for a smooth client journey. From accounting software to social media, a carefully-curated combination of extensions, APIs and integrations will ensure your Ecommerce site functions for optimal user experience and maximum ROI.‍

That means fewer manual fixes, better data flow and a setup that works in real life.‍

This is especially useful for in-house teams that need reliable reporting, cleaner product data and better links between marketing, sales and operations.‍

We can also connect stock, CRM, payment providers and delivery systems so your Ecommerce work is easier to manage behind the scenes.

Ecommerce digital strategy & consultancy

Driving low-cost, high-converting traffic to your website is the name of the game. From digital marketing strategy to campaign design and delivery, we target quick wins while building sustainability through organic rankings.

We connect SEO, content, email and paid media so each channel supports your online shopping and digital performance objectives.‍

Our Ecommerce marketing services include strategic planning, tailored strategies, email marketing, content creation, paid social and digital marketing services built around your budget and goals.‍

We’ll help you review types of Ecommerce, Ecommerce business models and the right business model for your audience, margins and route to market.‍

Ascensor Ecommerce websites are optimised for search and we can provide a mixture of paid search (including Google Shopping and retargeting), content marketing and marketing automation to help you grow your sales.‍

We also keep an eye on Ecommerce trends, emerging trends and the latest Ecommerce trends, including AI search, so your plans stay useful as customer behaviour changes.‍As technology advances, digital commerce now includes your own website, online marketplaces, mobile journeys and social touchpoints, so each channel needs a clear role.‍

If you sell into European Union markets, we can factor regional customer expectations, payment preferences and delivery messages into your planning.

Google Shopping feed management

Top Shopping results are prominently displayed on the first search engine results page, usually above PPC ads.

As a data-driven Ecommerce agency, we offer Google Shopping feed management that will take your Ecommerce marketing strategy to the next level. We draw insights from your other paid marketing channels including display PPC and remarketing to build optimised, intelligent and effective Shopping campaigns that ensure the products you want to sell are found by your target audience.‍

We test, learn and keep making improvements, with clear reporting that shows where spend is working and where it needs attention.‍

Our approach to Google Ads, Shopping feeds and paid ads is built around ongoing optimisation, so budget can move towards the products, audiences and searches that are working hardest.‍

Cleaner product listings can help attract customers who are ready to compare, click and buy online.

Ecommerce paid search

Digital marketing and Ecommerce go hand in hand. That's why paid marketing is a highly effective and quick way of driving traffic to an Ecommerce site and ultimately increasing sales. Our Ecommerce specialists work in close partnership with Ascensor's wider team of digital marketing experts to combine expertise, so your Google Search ads will always feature bespoke content that resonates with your target audience.‍

You can expect paid media activity that is planned around your margins, product priorities and customer intent.‍

That includes paid social and performance marketing campaigns designed to build brand awareness, support conversion and help you reach new markets when the timing is right.‍

Paid search can drive customers to the right product pages, while clear targeting helps avoid spending money on clicks that are unlikely to convert.

About Paid Search

Ecommerce social media management

Social media is a key driver of site traffic and is now one of the most effective channels for selling online in its own right. Social media attracts users across all age ranges and it's highly likely that your target audience is there and ready to be targeted. We can take care of handling your accounts across all channels, creating targeted content that drives leads and sales.‍

Creative engagement matters here, so we shape content around the people most likely to care, click and buy.‍

From content creation to influencer marketing, we help Ecommerce brands show up in the places their customers already spend time.‍

The right social content can engage customers before they reach your website and introduce potential customers to products they may not have found through search alone.

About SEO

Conversion rate optimisation

CRO (conversion rate optimisation) is a process that enhances your website and its content in order to boost conversions. Conversion rate optimisation techniques allow you to increase revenue, lower your acquisition costs, obtain better value from your current users and, simply, grow your business.

When it comes to Ecommerce, conversions and sales are key. That's where CRO can come in, to ensure that your site is designed with conversions in mind and converts the maximum number of visitors into paying customers.

‍We absolutely focus on the changes most likely to improve revenue, using evidence rather than guesswork.‍

Our expert team uses testing, analytics and customer insight to spot Ecommerce challenges quickly and turn them into measurable improvements.‍

We look at where customers hesitate, from product pages and basket behaviour to online checkout and payment steps.

About CRO

HubSpot is a very capable, yet complex CRM and marketing system. We’ve adopted it at Schofield Sweeney but weren’t getting the most out of it. Thanks to working with Ascensor we’ve been able to make big improvements to all our automations, including meeting sequencing, nurturing and follow-up.

Common questions

How do you measure success in Ecommerce?

Of course, an increase in revenue is an important goal for most businesses, but it doesn't tell the full story. By tracking and measuring a range of key metrics over time, you can gain a good sense of how well your business is performing in different areas. For instance, metrics such as customer retention rate and cart abandonment rate are strong indicators of how well your site is meeting the needs of its customers, both in terms of service and interface. These, alongside metrics such as average order value are useful KPIs to measure, but also to act on and optimise your site for further growth and conversions. Continuous metric monitoring and subsequent optimisation is vital to staying ahead of competitors in a busy Ecommerce landscape.

How can your agency help me grow my Ecommerce business?

Our Ecommerce experts work with your business to cover all aspects you need to thrive. It starts with a bespoke strategy tailored to your business and the market you're in. From website design to app development, SEO and Google shopping ads, we'll help to build a powerful online presence that drives traffic and encourages conversions on site. Through monitoring and analytics, we'll assess the performance of your marketing strategies and streamline them to nurture leads, increase revenue and help you to scale with ease.

What are the benefits of hiring an Ecommerce agency?

Working with an agency that specialises in Ecommerce and has a proven track record in developing, maintaining and growing Ecommerce websites provides you with unrivalled insight and expertise that your business will benefit from. Adept at navigating a competitive and challenging world, an Ecommerce agency is ready to provide support and strategy for long-term strategy and upcoming online events. Successful Ecommerce comprises multiple digital marketing disciplines, including web development, graphic design and marketing such as social media, PPC or SEO. Finding an Ecommerce agency that houses multiple digital experts under one roof is a smart choice for a comprehensive service that produce effective results for your online business and stay ahead of your competitors.

Why choose Ascensor as your ecommerce agency?

Ascensor is an ecommerce agency with in-house design, development, marketing and CRO expertise. This gives ecommerce clients support beyond the initial build, including acquisition, conversion, tracking and continuous improvement. For businesses focused on growth, Ascensor can help improve the full ecommerce journey from product discovery through to checkout and repeat customer activity.

How does ecommerce CRO support growth?

Ecommerce CRO supports growth by improving the percentage of visitors who add to basket, start checkout and complete a purchase. This can include product page testing, navigation improvements, delivery messaging, checkout changes and trust signals. The advantage is that CRO can increase revenue from existing traffic before more budget is spent on paid media or acquisition activity.

When should an ecommerce website be rebuilt?

An ecommerce website should be rebuilt when the current platform limits sales, content management, performance, integrations or user experience. Common signs include a slow checkout, poor mobile conversion, hard-to-manage products, unreliable tracking or high development overheads. A phased optimisation approach may be enough in some cases, so Ascensor can assess whether a rebuild or improvement plan is more commercially sensible.

Which ecommerce platform should my business use?

The right ecommerce platform depends on your products, order volume, integrations, content needs, fulfilment process and internal team. Shopify may suit businesses that want a managed commerce platform, while bespoke or more flexible setups may be better for complex requirements. Ascensor can review your current and future needs before recommending a platform that supports growth without unnecessary complexity.

How can an ecommerce agency increase online sales?

An ecommerce agency can increase online sales by improving product visibility, site speed, product pages, checkout journeys, tracking and marketing performance. Often the biggest gains come from reducing friction, making products easier to compare and giving users more confidence to buy. Ascensor combines ecommerce development, digital marketing and CRO so growth opportunities can be tackled across the full customer journey.

What does an ecommerce agency do?

An ecommerce agency designs, builds and improves online stores so businesses can sell more effectively. This can include platform advice, UX, product page design, checkout optimisation, integrations, tracking and marketing support. Ascensor works across ecommerce strategy, development and performance, helping businesses create stores that are easy to manage, easy to buy from and built around growth.
