E-commerce design for Malta online stores

We design and build Shopify and WooCommerce stores for Maltese brands selling locally and across Europe. We're a design studio from Bosnia & Herzegovina in the same time zone as Malta.

Selling from Malta often means shipping abroad, which brings longer delivery times and more questions at checkout. Customers want to know when it arrives and what it costs before they commit.

We design the store so shipping and returns are clear on the product page, and keep the checkout short on mobile, where most people shop.

What's included

  • Buyer persona & purchase journey mapping
  • Store architecture & navigation design
  • Full Figma design for all key page templates
  • Shopify or WooCommerce build
  • Product page trust signal & social proof design
  • Cart & checkout flow optimisation
  • Post-purchase & transactional email flows
  • Analytics setup & post-launch performance monitoring

How we work

  1. 01

    Buyer Research

    We map who's buying — their intent, their anxieties, and the moments where trust is made or broken. A homeowner buying a gift and a procurement manager buying in bulk are entirely different journeys, and both need to work.

  2. 02

    Architecture Strategy

    Navigation, collection structure, filtering logic, and cross-sell strategy defined before a single screen is designed. We structure from buyer intent, not from how the SKU database is organised.

  3. 03

    Visual Design

    High-fidelity Figma design for every key template: home, collection, product, cart, checkout, and post-purchase. Trust signals, social proof, and urgency mechanics are designed in from the start — never bolted on as afterthoughts.

  4. 04

    Build & Integration

    A clean Shopify or WooCommerce build with a CMS your team can operate without a developer. Performance and Core Web Vitals are part of the build spec — not an afterthought that requires a separate engagement.

  5. 05

    Launch & Optimise

    We wire up transactional and post-purchase email flows, confirm analytics and pixel tracking, and monitor the first week of purchase behaviour to catch any friction before it compounds.

What a typical project costs

Take an online store redesign: buyer research, new templates for home, category, product and cart pages, and the Shopify build. That's usually around 140 hours of work. Here's roughly what it costs with an agency in Malta and with us.

Typical Malta agency

€11,900

140 h × €85/h (estimate)

frame387, from Bosnia & Herzegovina

€7,000

140 h × €50/h

That's about €4,900 less, or 41% of the budget, for the same work done by senior designers.

We couldn't find solid public data on agency rates in Malta, so the local figure is our estimate. This is an example, not a quote. Every project is priced separately after a short call.

Frequently asked

Can you build a store that ships across the EU?

Yes. We set up regions, currencies and shipping rules and design the store so they're clear to buyers.

Do you work with WooCommerce?

Yes, especially if you already have a WordPress site. Otherwise we usually suggest Shopify.

Shopify or WooCommerce — which is better?

Shopify wins for speed to market, reliability, and a clean ecosystem — ideal for most DTC brands. WooCommerce wins when you need deep WordPress flexibility, specific plugins, or tight integration with an existing site. We recommend honestly based on your catalogue and team, not our preference.

Can you handle both B2C and B2B buyers in the same store?

Yes. We designed Evionor and Ajándékbár around multiple buyer types — keeping each journey clean and specific while the back end stays unified. It requires careful architecture, but it's entirely manageable.
