You'll be in good hands with us when it comes to Alberta ecommerce website development. We'd like to work with you and your Alberta team to understand your functionality requirements, outline the deliverables and turnaround time, and help you with everything after the launch.

Our ecommerce web development company is happy to provide Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and Grande Prairie with premium ecommerce development services.

Pricing for Alberta Ecommerce Web Development Services

Our pricing for ecommerce web design services is based on how much time you can invest in building your online store. For those on a tight budget, we suggest exploring template-based ecommerce websites to save money. If you value customization and performance highly, you could opt for a custom ecommerce website created from the ground up, beginning with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Alberta Website

If your Alberta ecommerce company needs a platform recommendation, we need to know what your website's goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Alberta-area websites.

For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. We can provide expert advice and service because our localized ecommerce web developers specialize in their own favorite ecommerce platforms.

Alberta WooCommerce Web Development Services

The most popular Alberta website content management system is WordPress. If you want an ecommerce site using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website developer in Alberta.

In Alberta, we help startups and ecommerce businesses get started with WooCommerce.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. We have our own custom WooCommerce theme that is based on Understrap and makes a good starting point for Alberta WooCommerce websites. Theme development within Shopify is often more expensive for Alberta ecommerce clients.
• If your Alberta business already has a WordPress site, we recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money rebuilding it just to add ecommerce?
• The web firms in Alberta who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce, except the website hosting fee to keep the website online. As an alternative, Shopify has expensive monthly fees (depending on your plan) and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• Most Alberta companies that want a product builder should consider WooCommerce. It is simply easier to develop a custom product builder in WordPress than most other platforms. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Alberta websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

Alberta Shopify Website Design Services

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Alberta, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

A lot of our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for new and existing businesses in Alberta.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers often recommend Shopify:

• For Alberta merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. If you want to run an ecommerce business in Alberta, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
• When Alberta web agencies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for Alberta small businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery times for development and marketing is Shopify. It is often faster to set up a Shopify website to test out a new product and cycle through various apps and ideas to test conversion optimization tactics.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Sites

Alberta ecommerce sites that don't perform, don't function, or don't convert well might need a redo.

You should approach Alberta ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. It's possible to lose search rankings and online sales if your web designer forgets to create 301 redirects, completely restructures your URLs, or improperly reorganizes your product catalog.

We like to know your whole business before we start an ecommerce web redesign in Alberta. Here are some of the important factors to consider when redesigning Alberta ecommerce websites:

• You have an ecommerce website in Alberta. How do people get there? It's important to maintain URL structures or implement 301 redirects if most of your online sales come from organic search traffic. It's also good to keep the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Alberta website.
• What do customers think of your Alberta website? Making big changes to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. It's advisable to be cautious with design changes if you've already got good conversion rates.
• Are you migrating ecommerce platforms? It will work different than your old website, if that's the case. You'll have to be prepared to change how you enter products, fill out orders, update customer info, and checkout.

Determine Goals for Your Alberta Ecommerce Website Design Package

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Alberta. Before hiring a local ecommerce website developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Alberta ecommerce web design service. Keeping track of measurable goals will help you keep your ecommerce website progressing in the right direction. We've seen these goals for Alberta ecommerce web development projects:

• To build out an online site for a new Alberta ecommerce venture.
• Upgrade an old Alberta ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
• To redesign an ecommerce website to improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• Improving the shopping experience by making it faster and more responsive.
• To fix web accessibility problems for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Our Alberta ecommerce website development services have helped other businesses before, so we're excited to help with your new ecommerce website! We can help you put together a list of goals for your Alberta ecommerce website if you need it!

Questions to Ask Your Alberta Ecommerce Developer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce web development firm in Alberta. While the answer will be valuable, even more important to you should be the manner in which the answer is given. Check to see how receptive the sales team is to detailed questions. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the Alberta ecommerce web design service starts up. Here are some common ecommerce website design questions we get asked by ecommerce businesses in and around Alberta:

• Is your ecommerce development outsourced? WebCitz doesn't outsource ecommerce web development because we have our own Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Alberta website.
• If you change URLs, do you set up 301 redirects? WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, but this is often not feasible during platform migrations. We create 301 redirects for Alberta ecommerce developments that have different URL structures.
• When you start an ecommerce web development project, do you make design mockups? WebCitz creates design mockups for all Alberta WooCommerce developments, but we only create a design mockup for Shopify projects that have a higher budget for a fully custom Alberta ecommerce website development.
• Can you help Alberta business owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps clients pick the right platform for their ecommerce websites. Generally, the answer depends on your website development and ecommerce needs.
• How quick is the turnaround time for Alberta ecommerce website development services? WebCitz usually gets Alberta ecommerce web design projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
• Have you seen your Alberta ecommerce developer's past work or recent reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce web development portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews to share!

How We Design the Best Alberta Ecommerce Storefronts

Efforts to design an ecommerce website in Alberta should follow a formal process. Here is our process for designing Alberta ecommerce websites:

1.) Discovery Phone Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Alberta small business, your ecommerce history, your development expectations, and your future plans. 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.

2.) Kickoff Discussion

When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce development agency for your Alberta website development, sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule a kickoff call. Everybody will have a chance to talk about how the project will unfold, who will handle each stage of the design, and how long the turnaround time will be for completion.

3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection

We'll start with mockups for your Alberta ecommerce development if it's built in WordPress with WooCommerce or if your budget allows a custom design built in Shopify. This way, everyone is on the same page about how your website will look and feel before an ecommerce developer starts. Alternatively, if you selected a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you select a theme for your Alberta ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Web Design

The development phase of your Alberta ecommerce build will be the longest. It includes data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and more! Throughout this process, you'll have a password-protected development website to visit so you can follow along and provide comments as necessary.

5.) Website Launch (Plus Website Training!)

As soon as the ecommerce web development project is finished, we'll provide you with any training you need. When you are comfortable managing the ecommerce website, we'll schedule a time that works for everyone involved to launch your future Alberta ecommerce storefront! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

We've been improving this Alberta ecommerce web design process for more than 18 years. We have incredible experience designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce websites throughout Canada!

Additional Services for Your Alberta Ecommerce Development Project

The development of the website is only one part of a successful ecommerce storefront in Alberta. Let's explore some additional services, which are completely optional, to help you get the most out of your custom Alberta ecommerce website:
