eCommerce Web Development Agency Manchester

Q: Can you help if my current website isn’t performing or is broken?

Absolutely. We offer recovery and rescue projects where we audit your existing code and setup, fix critical issues, and deliver a prioritised plan to make your site fully functional and future-ready.

Q: Do you work with specific eCommerce platforms?

Yes, we develop on major platforms including Magento 2, Adobe Commerce, Shopify (including Shopify Plus) and Aero Commerce, tailoring solutions to your business requirements.

Built for Growth. From the Ground Up.

Your website shouldn’t be the thing holding you back. It’s where people buy.

We build eCommerce sites for brands replatforming, launching from scratch, or needing custom functionality an off-the-shelf theme won’t do.

From technical execution to long-term support, we help you unlock your next nice problem.

The NNP Workshop

We learn how your business works, then deliver a short NNP Workshop video that shows what’s working and what’s costing you money. No fluff, and no hundred-page document.

Solving the Next Nice Problem

Every project is designed with growth in mind. Our eCommerce development supports your long-term goals through high-performing code, integrations that hold, and architecture you won’t have to rebuild in two years.

Integrations That Scale With You

As your business grows, your tech has to keep up. We make sure your platform talks to the rest of your tools without a pile of workarounds. No more order delays from mismatched systems, or stock issues caused by manual updates.

Warehouse and inventory software, logistics, new payment gateways: we shape the setup around your operations. For large catalogues, we keep product and inventory data accurate across platforms. For international growth, multi-currency payments and regional delivery.

We connect your marketing tools too, Klaviyo, your CRM, loyalty software, so campaigns fire on live customer data rather than stale exports.

Custom Development

Sometimes off-the-shelf doesn’t cut it. We design and build custom functionality: advanced filtering logic, a checkout flow that fits how you actually sell, or something that doesn’t exist yet.

You get things that solve real problems, built clean enough that the next developer can work with them.

Recovery Projects

If your site’s half-finished or unstable, we’ll step in. We rescue projects, fix critical issues and get you live without wasting what you’ve already spent.

We audit what’s there: code quality, platform setup, what’s missing. Then we build a prioritised plan to finish it properly.

A recovery project doesn’t mean starting over. It means making the most of what’s already built and clearing the blockers.

A rebuild that more than doubled conversion

Be My Bear had outgrown CS-Cart. The platform was holding the business back, and a migration was overdue.

We rebuilt them on Magento 2, designed around how their customers actually shop. Conversion more than doubled, average order value rose, and fewer people bounced before buying.

That’s what a proper rebuild does. A platform built to grow on, and your next nice problem to chase.

What our clients say

"What impressed us most was how quickly Actuate identified the root cause. Within the first call they'd spotted the metadata issue that had been tanking our traffic. Everything that followed has been just as sharp."

Catherine Lund-Barker Elcometer

Without Actuate's help and support, our original website wouldn’t have succeeded. Time was of the essence, and Actuate stepped in to deliver a swift turnaround. The new site has performed exceptionally well ever since. We continue to grow thanks to Actuate. ❤️ Thanks guys!”
