Our Ecommerce Development Process

From the first phone call to the kick-off meeting and beyond, our friendly ecommerce developers and strategists will be available to answer all your initial questions. In the early meetings, we will discuss specifics such as your ecommerce requirements, what design styles you prefer, your current conversion rates, and what is important for your online business. Additionally, we will discuss the benefits of the most popular ecommerce platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce and BigCommerce to help you narrow in on which will best serve your store's needs. The reason for discussing with you your project in such detail is because we take the time to learn about your company, its goals and how we can be of help now and in the future. This communication ensures everyone is on the same page, and your initial wireframe and design samples start out in the right direction!

Following our kick-off conversation, we'll task our expert ecommerce designers with creating a wireframe or design mockup based on your guidelines. When its ready, we will share with you the wireframe or mockup to get your feedback and involve you in the early design phase of your website. During this stage of the project, we work closely with you to create a custom design for your storefront's future layout, navigation, category, product, cart and call-to-action elements. You will be an integral part of this process as we communicate and work with you to refine the ecommerce layout before any development work begins. We have also created a free list of advantages and disadvantages for you to read!

How to Choose the Best Ecommerce Platform

Some of the most common questions we hear are "which ecommerce platform is best for my business" and "will I be able to easily manage my ecommerce website?"

The answer to the first question is easy! Our ecommerce developers and ecommerce consultants will discuss with you your company's goals and selling requirements to make a recommendation on what we feel is the best platform for your online business. That includes not only the shopping cart platform, but also order fulfillment, accounting, customer relationship management systems and anything else you need. In regards to easily editing your ecommerce website, you'll absolutely be able to manage your own ecommerce site! We understand you will want to make simple changes like creating new products, adding categories, updating payment methods and much more after it launches, which is one of the reasons we recommend Shopify, BigCommerce and WooCommerce as an ecommerce platform.

After your ecommerce site launches, our in-house development team will provide you training in your new website's admin area. This will help ensure you know how to navigate the admin area of your website to create new products, manage categories, process orders and update customer accounts. Even if you have little to no experience managing an ecommerce website, our developers will be able to easily guide you through the simple process.

Developing a Fast Ecommerce Website

It is estimated that 53% of website visits are abandoned when a mobile site takes more than three seconds to load. In addition, approximately 50% of people anticipate a page to load in less than two seconds. If your ecommerce website's performance is lacking, your competitor's website could be just a click away.

Ecommerce website speed impacts more than just user experience, it also plays an important role in search engine optimization. Furthermore, ecommerce websites that load fast tend to have higher ecommerce conversion rates and lower bounce rates. Your store's website rankings will drop if search engines determine your website to load slower than expected. When we develop your ecommerce website, we take search engine optimization, user experience and page speed seriously, for both mobile and desktop shopping experiences.

With these statistics in mind, it is essential your future ecommerce site be developed with speed in mind. Our ecommerce developers always take into consideration the importance of site speed when developing a storefront. To ensure your website loads quickly, our ecommerce developers routinely optimize product images, minify and combine scripts, defer off page assets, enable GZIP compression, implement content delivery networks and much more!
