Business problems we solve
What problems do we solve?
Most projects begin with something that is slowing the business down, not with a platform choice. These are the problems we are asked about most, and each one links to the service that fixes it.
Our website is slow and hard to maintain
Performance audits, database and media clean-up, and refactoring of years of accumulated plugins and patches.

Catalogue structure, search, filtering and checkout engineered to stay fast as products and traffic grow.

Ecommerce and custom systems
Ecommerce and custom systems that fit how you trade
Off-the-shelf platforms get you started. When catalogues, pricing rules, fulfilment or back-office processes outgrow them, we build the layer in between.
Custom WooCommerce and Shopify functionality
Order, stock and fulfilment workflows
Customer and trade portals
ERP, CRM and accounting integrations
Performance work for large catalogues
Storefront
Product pages, search, basket and checkout.
Orders & stock
Rules, statuses and inventory in one place.
Fulfilment
Labels, couriers and warehouse hand-offs.
Reporting
Clean data feeding your finance and sales tools.
AI in practice
How can AI help a business in practice?
We use AI where it removes real work, with sensible controls and a person reviewing what matters. We start with one workflow, prove it, then expand.
Enquiry and support triage
Sort, summarise and draft replies to incoming messages for a person to approve.
Catalogue and content operations
Draft and tag product data and content at volume, with review before publishing.
Document and data processing
Pull structured data from emails, PDFs and forms into the systems that need it.
Internal assistants
Search and answer questions across your own documentation and data.

FAQs
Common questions about StudioRav
What does StudioRav do?
StudioRav is an award-winning web development agency based near Dudley in the West Midlands that builds and improves WordPress sites, Shopify stores and custom web applications. We also connect them to CRM, stock and accounting tools, add practical AI and automation, and support growth through email and social media. See our WordPress and Shopify services.
Should we choose WordPress, Shopify or both?
It depends on how you sell and who edits the content. WordPress suits content-led sites and bespoke WooCommerce builds, while Shopify suits retailers who want a managed checkout. Many businesses use both. We can advise on the right fit before you commit to a build.
Can you connect our website to our CRM, stock and accounting software?
Yes, where the tools offer an API or a supported connector. We build the integration so data is entered once and flows between systems. Read more about our integrations and API work.
Can you improve our existing website, or do we need to rebuild?
Often we can improve what you have. We start with an audit of the theme, plugins, hosting and code, then recommend whether to optimise, refactor parts of it or rebuild. You get an honest view before any work is agreed.
Do you work with other agencies?
Yes. We work as a development partner for agencies and product teams, from overflow capacity to white-label builds and specialist engineering. See how development partnerships work.
