About us
We’re retail people first. We’ve sat on the other side of the desk, chased the sales targets and paid the agency bills, so we build and market websites the way we’d want ours done.

Focus Ecommerce started in 2018. Ivan has worked in retail since leaving school. He built and sold his own ecommerce business, then worked directly for brands before starting Focus Ecommerce in 2018. The idea was simple: give brands and retailers an agency that understands selling online because it’s done it, not just studied it.
Because we come from retail, we look at your website the way you do: in sales, margin and marketing spend. That’s why every project starts with your numbers, not a design brief.
Today we work with online retailers, B2B companies, charities and public sector organisations across the UK, Ireland and Europe from our base in Colchester.
“With a background in retail Focus Ecommerce understands ecommerce from both Agency and Retail perspectives. This translates into the consulting and services provided being focused on the bottom line, in delivering sales and holding down marketing spend. The results say it all in ecommerce and Focus Ecommerce has delivered.”
Daniel Loughlin · Founder of IRP Commerce
Every recommendation is judged on sales, margin and cost, not how clever it looks.
You deal with people who know your business, from the first call to years after launch.
If something isn’t worth doing, we’ll tell you, even when it means less work for us.
You know what you’re getting and what it costs before any work starts.
Your website, data, accounts and content are yours. No lock-in.
Shopify, IRP Commerce, WordPress or WooCommerce. We pick what fits you.
A small senior team, backed by specialist developers and marketers when your project needs them.
