WooCommerce development in Northampton
The reason Northampton businesses choose WooCommerce is usually that they need something a hosted platform will not do. In practice that requirement is often this one: width treated as a real dimension rather than an afterthought on a size dropdown, which is worth stating precisely before anybody chooses a theme.

Width treated as a real dimension rather than an afterthought on a size dropdown
The hosting decision follows directly from that.
A store carrying a requirement like this needs capacity for the requests it cannot cache — baskets, checkouts and signed-in sessions — rather than the headline figures most hosting is sold on. In Northampton that pattern shows up most in logistics and distribution, and around Brackmills industrial estate in particular. The businesses there sell in a way that makes this requirement structural rather than a preference somebody could be talked out of. The part to settle before launch is who maintains it. Self-hosting moves the responsibility to you, and the businesses that struggle with it are not the ones that chose the wrong plugins but the ones that never budgeted for anybody to look after the result. What makes this worth the maintenance is the requirement itself. width treated as a real dimension rather than an afterthought on a size dropdown cannot be configured away on a hosted platform, and a Northampton business taking on a server for any lesser reason has bought a responsibility that it did not actually need to own.
We have no office in Northampton. Our studio is in Rajkot, India, and every project here is delivered remotely — if a supplier who can attend your premises matters to you, that is a fair requirement and we do not meet it.

WooCommerce development questions from Northampton
Three questions about the subject above. How we work, what it costs and who owns the code are answered on the service page.
How much maintenance does this need?
More than a hosted platform and less than people fear. Updates on a schedule, backups tested by actually restoring one, and somebody named who is called when something breaks. A Northampton store with that arrangement is inexpensive to run; one without it is the expensive option regardless of the hosting bill.
Do you write custom code or install plugins?
Both, with a bias against installing. Every extension is a permanent dependency with its own update cycle and abandonment risk, so twenty lines we maintain frequently beats a plugin with two hundred settings. Where a well-maintained extension does the job properly, we use it and say so. None of that changes because you happen to be in Northampton.
Who hosts the store?
You do, in your own account, and that is deliberate. A Northampton business should hold its own hosting, domain and credentials so that changing developer is an inconvenience rather than a migration. We will recommend and configure, and the account stays in your name throughout.
