Common questions
Our WooCommerce site breaks every time we update plugins — can you help?+
This is the most common WooCommerce pain point we deal with. We manage updates in a staging environment first, test for conflicts, and only push to live once everything is confirmed stable. We can also audit your current plugin stack and remove anything creating unnecessary risk.
Is WooCommerce still worth using or should we migrate to Shopify?+
It depends on your specific setup and needs — and we'll give you an honest answer, not the one that creates more work for us. WooCommerce makes sense for stores with complex product configurations, custom integrations, or heavy content marketing. We can help you evaluate both before making a costly migration decision.
Can you clean up a WooCommerce store that was built by a previous developer and is hard to maintain?+
Yes, this is a significant part of our WooCommerce work. We audit the existing build, document what's there, remove what's redundant, and bring the site to a maintainable state — with a clear handoff so you understand what you have.
We have custom pricing rules and product variations that are hard to manage — can you streamline that?+
Yes. Complex WooCommerce configurations — tiered pricing, conditional variations, wholesale rules — are something we've worked with extensively. We'll either optimize your current setup or recommend a cleaner approach that achieves the same result with less overhead.
Can you improve WooCommerce checkout performance and reduce abandoned carts?+
Checkout friction is one of the top causes of WooCommerce abandonment. We audit your cart and checkout flow for unnecessary steps, slow load points, and UX issues — then implement specific fixes rather than a full redesign.
We need a new WooCommerce store built from scratch — is that something you do?+
Yes. We build WooCommerce stores from the ground up — theme setup, plugin stack selection, product catalog architecture, payment gateway integration, and launch configuration. We build lean from the start so you're not inheriting a bloated setup that's hard to maintain six months later.
We want to migrate from Shopify or another platform to WooCommerce — can you manage that?+
Yes. WooCommerce migrations require careful handling of product data, order history, customer records, and URL structure to avoid losing SEO equity. We map the full migration before touching anything, run it in staging, and only cut over once everything is verified.
We're not sure whether to build on Shopify or WooCommerce — can you help us decide?+
Yes, and we'll give you a straight answer based on your specific situation — not the platform that creates more work for us. Shopify suits stores that want simplicity, fast setup, and managed hosting. WooCommerce suits stores that need deep customization, complex product logic, or tight WordPress content integration. We'll ask the right questions and tell you which fits.

Where are you based and who do you work with?+
We're a remote studio based in Canada. We work with businesses across Canada and internationally — location has never been a barrier for any of our engagements.
How is Unghost different from a traditional agency?+
No account managers, no offshore teams, no bloated proposals. You work directly with the people doing the work. We stay small deliberately so quality stays consistent.
Do you work on one-off projects or ongoing retainers?+
Both. Some clients hire us for a specific project — a new store, a landing page, a migration. Others keep us on a monthly retainer for ongoing operations, maintenance, and marketing. We'll recommend the right model for what you actually need.
How do you handle projects — what does the process look like?+
We start with a scoping call, agree on deliverables and timeline in writing, then execute with regular check-ins. No surprises, no disappearing acts. You always know where things stand.
What if I'm not sure what I need yet?+
Book a free 30-minute call. We'll ask the right questions, tell you what we'd prioritize, and give you a clear picture of what's actually worth doing first — even if that means we're not the right fit for every part of it.
Do you work with businesses that have no website yet?+
Yes. We build from scratch on WordPress and Shopify, and we can advise on the right platform before you commit to anything. Starting clean is often easier than fixing what's already broken.
What's your typical project timeline?+
Simple landing pages and fixes take days. Full website builds typically run three to six weeks depending on scope and how quickly feedback comes back. We'll give you a realistic timeline in writing before we start.
