Ekoneem — From Shopify to a Purpose-Built WooCommerce Store
Ekoneem is a family business with a genuine passion for the power of neem. Specialising in premium, cold-pressed neem oil products certified organic from seed to jar, their range serves dogs, cats, horses, and humans — offering a natural alternative for skincare, pet care, insect repellency, and everyday wellbeing. Their tagline says it simply: the power of nature, without the nonsense.
When they came to Greenleaf Creative, Ekoneem were ready to move on from their existing Shopify setup. While Shopify had served them well enough in the early days, it had become a platform they were working around rather than with — limiting their ability to present their brand the way they envisioned it. They wanted a home that felt as considered and purposeful as the products inside it.
A Specific Vision, Delivered
Ekoneem arrived with a clear idea of how they wanted their site to look and feel. This wasn’t a blank-canvas brief — they had a visual direction in mind and needed a team willing to build to that, not impose a house style on top of it. That suits us well.
Working closely with the Ekoneem team, we translated their vision into a WordPress and WooCommerce build that reflects the brand’s values: clean, natural, honest, and warm. The design leans into the earthy, organic character of the products without feeling rustic or dated — it’s a modern e-commerce experience grounded in authenticity.
Why WordPress and WooCommerce
The client had suggested WordPress from the outset, and it was the right call. WooCommerce gave them a flexible, fully owned e-commerce platform — one they could manage themselves without being beholden to a third-party subscription model. Unlike Shopify, there are no per-transaction fees eating into margins on every bottle sold, and the admin is entirely theirs to control.
We built out a clean product architecture covering their full range: Pure Neem Oil in multiple sizes, Neem Oil Soap, and their Wonderbalm — each with proper product pages that communicate the benefits clearly and convert browsers into buyers.
Built Around the Customer
The site communicates the breadth of Ekoneem’s reach clearly — products suitable for dogs, cats, horses, and humans all sitting within a single, coherent shopping experience. Benefit-led content explains why neem works, building trust before the customer ever reaches the basket.
Customer testimonials — from horse owners in Meikleour to dog owners across Perthshire — feature prominently, because Ekoneem’s word-of-mouth reputation is one of their strongest assets. The new site gives those voices the platform they deserve.
The Result
A purpose-built WooCommerce store that looks and behaves exactly as Ekoneem envisioned — no compromises, no template constraints. A platform they own outright, that reflects their brand, and that’s built to grow with them as their product range and customer base expand.
