With more than 17 years of experience developing custom ecommerce solutions, you can count on our ecommerce web developers to provide you the website your online business needs.
Developing an effective ecommerce website starts with understanding the nature of your ecommerce company. We take the time to discuss with you a number of topics, including your history running ecommerce businesses, the platforms you’ve used to sell online, the quality of your product data, how customers interact with your brand, what functionality you need to be successful, and how you handle order fulfillment.
Having this knowledge allows us to make informed recommendations regarding a good ecommerce platform for your storefront. The selection of the best platform for your specific needs is critical when developing a new ecommerce website or redesigning an existing ecommerce website.
It is important to begin an ecommerce development with an understanding of your business goals. We’ll help you determine the best metrics to use to gauge the success of your ecommerce web design service, regardless of the ecommerce agency you hire. This will help set expectations throughout the entire scope of the ecommerce project to ensure you receive the best website for your online business.
After your ecommerce web design service is complete, we’ll even be available to offer other internet marketing and website support services.
WebCitz was founded on the principle of providing custom web solutions. We have a strong history of working with our clients to understand their business goals and deliver a custom website unique to their online brand. In the past, we’ve worked on numerous types of custom commerce projects, including:
When it comes to developing custom functionality for your ecommerce web design service, you’ll be in good hands with our development team. We will work with you to understand your functionality requirements, outline the deliverables and turnaround time, and work with you after the launch to ensure everything is running smoothly.
To recommend an ecommerce platform for your business we will need to talk with you about your website’s objectives. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all business requirements. All ecommerce platforms will allow for a custom design that is mobile-friendly and responsive on all platforms, from mobile phones to tablet devices and even desktop computers.
To deliver exceptional ecommerce web design services, we have separate web development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify and BigCommerce projects. This allows our ecommerce developers to specialize in a particular web development environment to provide expert advice and service.
WordPress is the most popular content management system. To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you will likely be looking for a WooCommerce web designer.
Our WooCommerce web design team has experience helping startup ecommerce companies and existing corporations build out and improve their online websites.
Here are some of the reasons we tend to recommend WooCommerce:

Our Shopify web design team has experience designing websites for new businesses and existing corporations within the Shopify platform.
Here are some of the reasons we often recommend Shopify:
BigCommerce is arguably the most flexible of all web-based ecommerce platforms due to its robust API functionality. To run an ecommerce website using BigCommerce you will likely be looking for a BigCommerce web designer.
Our BigCommerce web design team has experience helping startup ecommerce businesses and existing corporations build out and improve their online websites.

If you are unhappy with the performance, functionality, or conversion rate of your current ecommerce website it might be time to think about a redesign or rehaul of your online business. This is especially true for boring product page layouts that could be improved with a new design layout.
You should approach any type of ecommerce redesign project with exceptional care. For instance, you may lose search rankings and online sales if your ecommerce web designer forgets to create 301 redirects, drastically changes your URL structure, or reorganizes your product catalog.
Before starting an ecommerce website redesign project, we like to thoroughly review the client’s ecommerce business to understand the big picture. Here are some of the important factors to consider when redesigning an ecommerce website:
Building out an ecommerce website can be an expensive project. Before hiring an ecommerce developer, you should put together a list of goals you’d like to see achieved through the ecommerce web design service. This will help keep you on track throughout the design of your ecommerce website and set measurable objectives for later. The most common goals we've seen for ecommerce website design projects include:
We've provided such ecommerce solutions before and are excited by the prospect of helping with your new ecommerce website design! If you need help putting together a list of goals for your ecommerce website, just reach out to our development team for assistance!
There are numerous questions to ask your ecommerce web design company before making a hiring decision. While the answer will be valuable, even more important to you should be the way the answer is given. Pay attention to how receptive the sales team is to being asked detailed questions. This will provide insight into future communication as the ecommerce web design service gets started. Here are some common ecommerce development questions we get asked before starting a new design:
You should expect an ecommerce web design agency to have a formal process for how a new ecommerce build will unfold. Here is our process for designing an ecommerce website:
There are typically multiple discovery calls to learn more about your company, your ecommerce business, your expectations, and your goals. This helps ensure everyone working on your project has an opportunity to voice their opinion, which goes a long way to minimizing confusion throughout the ecommerce project.
If you feel good about working with our ecommerce design agency after the discovery calls, go ahead and sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule your kickoff call! This will be an opportunity for everyone involved in the project to have discussions about how the project will unfold, who will be responsible for each phase of the design, and anticipated turnaround times for each element of the project.
If your future ecommerce website design is in WordPress with WooCommerce, or your design budget accommodates a custom design in Shopify or BigCommerce, then the first phase of the project will begin with mocking up the design of your website. This allows everyone to be on the same page regarding the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts the build process. Alternatively, if you selected a template-based approach within Shopify and BigCommerce, this is the phase where we start helping you select a theme for your ecommerce site.
The longest phase of your ecommerce project will be the web development process. This includes everything for data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and much more! Throughout this process, you’ll have a password-protected development website to visit so you can follow along and provide comments as necessary.
Once the ecommerce web design project is close to completion, we’ll start working with you to provide any necessary training. When you are comfortable managing the ecommerce website, we’ll schedule a time that works for everyone involved to launch your future website! If interested, we can even share with you a checklist for the launch of the website so you can feel informed.
We’ve been working on our ecommerce web design process for more than 17 years. We have a tremendous amount of experience planning, designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce businesses!

You should carefully consider what you are looking for when choosing an ecommerce platform for your website. As part of the scoping process, your project manager will assess your needs based on the number of products you have, custom functionality requirements, data migrations, and more. We recommend WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Shopify for most businesses. BigCommerce and Shopify are SaaS platforms, while WordPress is open source. These three solutions will enable us to focus on beautiful design without compromising e-commerce functionality, but they provide different user interfaces and out-of-the-box features. As well as being easy to use, the platforms facilitate the addition, editing, and updating of ecommerce content on your website. We are more than happy to discuss the options with you after learning more about your company.
The average turnaround time for an ecommerce project is two to three months, but the pace is set by the client. This relates to how much input you can provide during the initial design stages, the quality of your product data, your availability for feedback, and how soon the content / data becomes available to us. The complexity of the site may also play a role - more complex ecommerce functionality will require a longer development period. For ecommerce websites, we typically find product data to be the biggest struggle. We often find business owners to be under the impression their product data is perfect, but that is rarely the situation. Migrating past sales and past customer data can also be a challenge, which adds to the cost and turnaround time of the project.
When designing your website, we keep SEO best practices in mind. For instance, we will ensure that the website loads quickly, that heading tags appear in all areas of the website, and that the content organization has been reviewed. In spite of that, just because we kept SEO in mind during development does not mean you will rank #1 in search engines after you launch your website. Placing high for competitive search phrases involves much more than the design of your website. Ask us about our SEO services if you would like to learn more about what we can do for you following the launch of your website.
When we are nearing launch, your Project Manager will provide training on how to use your site. Our plan is to wait until your website is almost complete so that you can learn to use the CMS and make changes on the backend of the actual website. If this is done in a screen share, we can also record this training so that you can view it in the future.
There are several ways to promote your website when it launches, and we are happy to assist you. We have a large team of marketing specialists onsite who can assist you with SEO, PPC, Social Media, Affiliate Marketing, and many other services.
