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!
Mobile-Friendly, Responsive Ecommerce Designs
More than 50% of website traffic comes from mobile users. With this is mind, it is essential mobile shoppers can quickly and efficiently browse your website on mobile devices. Not only that, providing support for mobile shoppers is considered a best practice in ecommerce SEO. You can learn more about best practices for eCommerce design here on our blog. Google will lower your store's organic search ranking if your site does not adequately support mobile users. You can avoid this issue by looking for an ecommerce development agency that can design a mobile-friendly storefront.

A responsive design ensures your website will look and function properly on devices ranging from mobile phones to desktop computers. The ecommerce development team at WebCitz is skilled in designing mobile-friendly websites that look appealing on any screen size.

Whether you are looking for a simple ecommerce storefront, or a complex ecommerce development with custom design or programming requirements, our ecommerce developers will be able to provide the mobile-friendly website your business needs to be successful.
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. Just give us a call at (800) 796-8263 and we will be happy to provide assistance.
Improving Your Ecommerce Security Practices
If you are an ecommerce store owner, you should consider adopting best practices to keep your business secure from online attacks and malware. Our ecommerce experts will be happy to make recommendations and implement security measures during the development of your new ecommerce website.
- Use strong passwords on admin accounts.
- Install an SSL certificate and fix any mixed content issues.
- Configure a website application firewall, like Wordfence, Better WP Security or Sucuri.
- Place htaccess passwords on administrative folders.
- Switch to the latest version of PHP and MySQL.
- Ask your hosting provider if they routinely update server software.
When it comes to the security of your storefront, we recommend you leave no stone unturned. If you have questions about securing your storefront from online attacks, reach out to our ecommerce experts for additional advice on best practices to consider implementing.
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!
If you have questions about ecommerce website speed, our team of friendly store developers will be happy to talk with you! Give us a call at (800) 796-8263 to discuss your ecommerce project.
SEO-Friendly Ecommerce Development
When our team develops your storefront, we will implement our own SEO best practices to ensure your ecommerce website is SEO-friendly. Before launching your new ecommerce site, we'll setup any necessary 301 redirects for products and category pages, create automated XML sitemaps, configure ecommerce conversion tracking, extensively review mobile experience and much more! You can learn about some of the platforms we use in our blog!
The launch of your ecommerce website is just the beginning. If you are truly serious about increasing organic traffic, you should consider having our SEO team perform routine optimization on your website. This will provide us the necessary budget to make ongoing improvements to both on page and off page qualities of your website. Our goal is to improve your product visibility, organic traffic and ecommerce conversion rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's The Best Platform For My Ecommerce Website?
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.
How Long Does It Take To Develop An Ecommerce Website?
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.
Will My Website Be Set Up For SEO?
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.
Will You Train Me On How To Manage My Store?
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.
How Do I Promote My Ecommerce Website?
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.
