How much does an ecommerce website cost?
How long does an ecommerce website design project take?
Again each ecommerce web design project is different with unique requirements. When we produce your proposal we’ll outline timescales and key milestones so you can see the expected timeframe for your project. As a guide, simple ecommerce websites can be completed within 6 weeks, whereas more complex projects with custom functionality can take 12 weeks.
What platform do you use for ecommerce projects?
We exclusively work with WordPress, so all the ecommerce sites we build run on the WooCommerce plugin for WordPress. WooCommerce is extremely robust, secure and provides a great platform on which your online shop can grow.
Can you help us replatform our ecommerce store?
Yes we’ve moved clients from OpenCart, Joomla, Shopify and other bespoke CMS platforms. We can handle the migration of content and products and put together a plan so a CMS replatform goes smoothly.
What size businesses do you create stores for?
Over the years we’ve produced ecommerce websites for startups and also large established businesses. Our biggest ecommerce client turns over £1m annually through the website we designed and built for them.
Do you offer ongoing support?
Yes we provide maintenance and support packages from £59/month. We can also custom build you a support package that suits your needs as we find every business tends to require different levels of support post launch.
Do you provide hosting for ecommerce websites?
Yes, we host 99% of the ecommerce websites we build on either our VPS cloud server or on a dedicated hosting environment. We can recommend which solution would be best for your new website.
Can you write content for our new website?
Yes, we can help you create content for your new website. We will make recommendations on what kind of content your new website needs to include in order to firstly answer questions your customers have and secondly, allow it to rank well on Google. When it comes to producing content for highly technical industries, we’ll provide you with a simple framework you can use to write that content yourself.
