The Digital Retail Revolution

The way people shop has changed forever. While in-store retail still plays an important role, eCommerce is growing at a rapid pace. In the UK, online retail sales now account for over 26% of total retail sales, with eCommerce revenue projected to exceed £100 billion in the next few years.* If you’re a business owner thinking about selling online, now is the time to take action.

At CMS Live, we help businesses like yours build high-performing, customer-focused eCommerce websites designed for long-term success. Whether you’re starting fresh or improving an existing online store, we’ll guide you through every step of the process.

Why Choose CMS Live for Your eCommerce Website?

Our expert team brings together retail and technology experience to create online stores that are efficient, easy to use, and designed to convert visitors into paying customers. CMS Live co-founder Martin, a former senior manager in mail-order retail, understands exactly what makes an eCommerce business work. That knowledge, combined with our web development and digital marketing expertise, means we build eCommerce websites that are not only visually appealing but also highly effective at driving sales.

More Than Just Development—We Focus on Conversions

Your eCommerce website isn’t just an online shop—it’s a business tool. With the right structure, SEO, and marketing strategies in place, your website can drive consistent revenue and growth.
