About We Build Stores
Telford-Based Digital Growth Partner Since 1998
Building profitable websites since 1998. Still answering the phone personally.
Your Revenue Is My Report Card
Most agencies sell you a website and disappear. I stick around to make sure it actually makes you money.
The Platform Evolution
"Learned the hard way through every platform shift - Joomla to WordPress (plugin hell), WordPress to Wix, and now Django + Astro. Like The Clash going from punk to reggae, sometimes you need to evolve to find what really works. Now with Django and Claude Code, I'm building in hours what used to take weeks."
Started with Joomla (2005) → Survived WordPress (2012) → Mastered Wix (2018) → Conquered Shopify (2020) → Building the future with Astro + AI (2025)
My Mission & Values

Why Businesses Choose Me
Proven Track Record
25+ years of successful projects speaks louder than promises. I've weathered every digital storm and emerged stronger.
Transparent Pricing
No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Every quote is detailed and honest, because trust is the foundation of good business.
Personal Service
You're not a ticket number. When you call, you speak to me directly. I know your business because I built it with you.
Growth Focused
I don't just build websites; I build growth engines that drive leads, sales, and long-term success.
Tony Cooper
The bloke who answers the phone
I started in 1998 teaching myself HTML in my bedroom. I'm still learning, still building, still in Telford. The only difference? Now I know what actually works (and what's complete bollocks).
"Every business owner I meet reminds me of myself 25 years ago - lying awake at 3am wondering how to get more customers. That's why I don't just build websites. I build things that actually put money in your bank account."
When David from Jana Helps called me, his website was costing him money instead of making it. Same with Maria's cleaning business - great service, invisible online. These aren't just case studies, they're real people running real businesses who needed real solutions.
Office Essentials:
"1999: Bought storebuilder.co.uk - The beginning of everything. Still own it today."

Time for Some Business Physics
Here's the invoice reality: Most agencies charge you £5,000 for a website, then disappear. I charge less and stick around to make sure it actually works.
The Agency Model
- ✗ Big upfront fee, then goodbye
- ✗ Pretty portfolio pieces
- ✗ You're account #847
- ✗ Good luck if something breaks
The Tony Cooper Way
- ✓ Fair price, lifetime support
- ✓ Profit-focused design
- ✓ You're Lee, Maria, or James
- ✓ My mobile's always on
Maximum 30 clients. That's it. Because I'd rather do great work for a few than mediocre work for many.
