Pricing for Tempe, AZ Ecommerce Web Development Solutions

The cost of our ecommerce web design services is based on the amount of time you can afford to allocate toward the development of your online store. If budget is a concern, we advise exploring a template-based ecommerce website as an affordable option. If your focus is on customization and performance, you may want to consider a fully customized ecommerce website that begins with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Tempe Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Tempe ecommerce company we will need to talk with you about your website's objectives. There isn't one ecommerce platform that works for all Tempe organizations.

To deliver amazing ecommerce web design services in Tempe, we have different development teams for WooCommerce projects and Shopify projects. This gives our ecommerce website designers the chance to specialize in particular development environments to provide expert advice and help.

Tempe WooCommerce Website Development Services

The most popular Tempe website content management system is WordPress. When you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web designer in Tempe.

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

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

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Tempe web development projects that require a custom designed template, but are working on a limited budget. We have our own custom WooCommerce theme that is based on Understrap and makes a good starting point for Tempe WooCommerce websites. Theme development for Tempe ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
• If your Tempe small business website runs on WordPress, we recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• The web companies in Tempe who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for web hosting. As an alternative, Shopify has expensive monthly fees (depending on your plan) and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• We recommend WooCommerce for most Tempe businesses that require a product builder. 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 Tempe websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

Tempe Shopify Website Development Services

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

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We recommend Shopify for Tempe merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Tempe without the hassle of constantly updating plugins or software versions.
• When Tempe web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we recommend Shopify. It's more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Tempe small businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing is Shopify. For testing out a new product, it's usually faster to set up a Shopify website and go through various apps and design ideas to test conversion rate optimization.

Remaking Existing Ecommerce Websites

If you are unhappy with the performance, functionality, or conversion rate of your Tempe ecommerce website it might be time to think about a website refresh.

Every Tempe ecommerce web redesign project deserves exceptional care. You can lose search rankings and sales if your Tempe ecommerce web developer forgets to create 301 redirects, changes your URL structure drastically, or reorganizes your product catalog.

Tempe ecommerce website refresh starts with a thorough review of your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. You should consider these factors when redesigning Tempe ecommerce sites:

• You have an ecommerce website in Tempe. How do people get there? If your online sales come mostly from organic search traffic, you'll need to maintain URL structures and use 301 redirects. It's also good to keep the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Tempe website.
• What do customers think of your Tempe website? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the website then it is okay to make big changes. It's advisable to be cautious with design changes if you've already got good conversion rates.
• Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? If so, you need to understand the new Tempe website won't work like your old one did. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Tempe Ecommerce Web Design Service

Building out an ecommerce website in Tempe can be an expensive project. You should make a list of the goals you'd like to see achieved by a Tempe ecommerce web developer before you hire them. This will help keep you on track during the design of your ecommerce site, and set measurable goals for later. Here are some of the goals we've seen for Tempe ecommerce website development projects:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your Tempe-based company.
• Upgrade an old Tempe ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
• Redesigning an ecommerce website in order to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• Improving the shopping experience by making it faster and more responsive.
• To fix web accessibility glitches for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your Tempe Ecommerce Website Developer

There are numerous questions to ask your Tempe ecommerce web design agency before making a hiring decision. Even though the answer is important, how it's delivered is more important. Pay attention to whether the sales team is willing to answer detailed questions. If you do this now, you'll get an idea of what to expect in future communication. We get asked these ecommerce web development questions a lot by Arizona ecommerce businesses:

• Is your ecommerce website development outsourced? At WebCitz, we don't outsource ecommerce web design services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers.
• If you change URLs, do you set up 301 redirects? WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, but this is often not possible during platform migrations. We do create 301 redirects for Tempe ecommerce website designs that will have a different URL structure.
• When you start an ecommerce development project, do you make design mockups? For Tempe WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Tempe ecommerce web development.
• Are you able to help Tempe small businesses choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz helps Tempe clients choose the right ecommerce platform. Generally, the answer depends on your web design and ecommerce needs.
• Can you tell me how fast Tempe ecommerce web development works? WebCitz usually gets Tempe ecommerce website development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
• Does your Tempe ecommerce web designer have a design portfolio or client reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce website design portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews to share!

How We Design the Best Tempe Ecommerce Stores

You should expect Tempe ecommerce web development companies to have a formal process for how a new ecommerce website will be developed. Here's how we make Tempe ecommerce websites:

1.) Multiple Discovery Phone Calls

There are usually multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Tempe company, your history with ecommerce, your development expectations, and your future plans. By having everyone involved in the ecommerce project speak up, you'll minimize confusion and project delays.

2.) Kickoff Discussion

If you're happy with our ecommerce development company for your Tempe site development, just sign the proposal, pay a down payment, and schedule your 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

If your future Tempe ecommerce website design is in WordPress with WooCommerce, or your design budget accommodates a custom design in Shopify, then the first phase of the project will begin with mocking up the design of your website. This way, everyone is on the same page about how your website will look and feel before an ecommerce developer starts. If you've chosen a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you pick a template for your Tempe ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Web Design

The longest part of your Tempe ecommerce build will be the development. It includes data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and more! A password-protected development website lets you follow along.

5.) Website Launch (Plus Website Training!)

Once the ecommerce website development 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 Tempe ecommerce storefront! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

We've been improving this Arizona ecommerce website design process for more than 18 years. We've created, designed, developed, and launched successful ecommerce sites across United States!

Additional options for Your Tempe Ecommerce Web Development Project
