The work
Three things, all year round: build the pages, keep the shop stocked and current, and make it faster than it was last month.
We build
New pages, new sections, whole new shops. A homepage that has not been touched since launch, an About page that never got written, a landing page for a product going live on Friday.
Built as theme sections wherever we can, so you can edit the words yourself afterwards without coming back to us.
We manage the shop
Products uploaded with descriptions in your voice. Collections built and merchandised. Prices, weights, variants and stock kept straight. Navigation that makes sense as the range grows.
The repetitive work that eats an evening every time you launch something.
We keep it working
Things break quietly. A theme update removes a button, a form stops sending, an app slows every page down, an image gets uploaded at 3MB.
We find those and fix them, usually before you notice.
The single most common problem, and what fixing it looks like.
These are real numbers from live UK websites, taken with the same free checker on this site. Almost every small business site has at least one of these.

Being straight with you: these are shops we measured, not clients we have worked for. Voyage Systems is new, so there are no case studies here yet — and inventing some would be the fastest way to lose the trust of a community this small. Real before-and-afters go here the moment we have them, with the client's name on them and their permission.
The full list, on every plan.

The ones marked "quoted separately" are still things we do — they are projects rather than plan work, because they take weeks rather than days.
