Pricing for California Ecommerce Web Development Services

The cost of our ecommerce web design services is determined by the amount of time you can commit to the development of your online store. If budget is a concern, we recommend considering a template-based ecommerce website as a cost-effective option. If customization and performance are crucial factors, you might want to consider a custom ecommerce website built from scratch, starting with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your California Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your California business, we'll need to know what your goals are. There isn't one ecommerce platform that's perfect for every California website.

To deliver exceptional ecommerce web design services in California, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. This allows our local ecommerce web developers to specialize in a particular development environment to provide expert advice and service.

California WooCommerce Web Development Packages

WordPress is the most popular content management system for California websites. To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you will likely be looking for a WooCommerce web developer in California.

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

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

  • We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for California web development projects that need a custom theme, but are on a budget. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce template is a great starting point for California WooCommerce website designs. Theme development for California ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
  • We recommend WooCommerce for California companies with an existing WordPress website. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into rebuilding that website just to add ecommerce?
  • We recommend WooCommerce for California web agencies who prefer open-source software. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce, except the website hosting fee to keep the site online. Alternatively, Shopify has high monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often much more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
  • Most California businesses that want a product builder should consider WooCommerce. It is simply easier to develop a custom product builder in WordPress than most other platforms. However, there are apps for California web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
  • WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

California Shopify Website Development Services

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify web designer in California.

Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for new and existing businesses throughout California within the Shopify platform.

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

  • We recommend Shopify for California merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in California without constantly updating plugins and software.
  • We recommend Shopify for California web firms without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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.
  • Shopify is a good option for California ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. 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 strategies.

5 Ways to Grow Your Ecommerce Business

California Ecommerce Website Developers

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Websites

It might be time to rethink your California ecommerce website if you're not happy with its performance, functionality, or conversion rate.

Take your ecommerce redesign in California seriously. For instance, you may lose search placements and online sales if your California ecommerce website developer forgets to create 301 redirects, drastically changes your URL structure, or reorganizes your product catalog.

Before starting California ecommerce website overhaul projects, we like to thoroughly review your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. Here are some of the important factors to consider when remaking California ecommerce websites:

  • How do people reach your California ecommerce website? If most online sales are coming from organic search traffic it will be critical to maintain URL structures or implement 301 redirects. It's also good to keep the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your California website.
  • What do customers think of your California website? It's okay to make big tweaks to your website if your online shoppers aren't happy. Consider being more conservative with design changes if your conversion rates are already good.
  • Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? If so, understand the new California website will function differently than your previous site. The way you enter products, fulfill orders, update customer information, and go through the checkout will be different.

Determine Goals for Your California Ecommerce Website Design Package

Building an ecommerce website in California can be expensive. Make a list of the things you want your California ecommerce website to accomplish before you hire a developer. 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 California ecommerce web design projects include:

  • To build out an online website for a new California ecommerce venture.
  • To migrate an legacy California ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
  • To redo an existing California ecommerce website in the same platform 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 issues for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your California Ecommerce Developer

You should ask your California ecommerce web development firm a lot of questions. While the answer will be valuable, how it's delivered should be even more important. Pay attention to how receptive the sales team is to being asked detailed questions. This will provide insight into future communication as the California ecommerce web design service gets started. Here are some common ecommerce website design questions we get asked by ecommerce businesses in and around California:

  • Do you outsource ecommerce development services? WebCitz does not outsource ecommerce web development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your California ecommerce 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. For California ecommerce development, we do 301 redirects with a different URL structure.
  • Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web development? For California WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom California ecommerce website development.
  • Do you help California business owners select the platform for their ecommerce website? WebCitz does help California clients select the platform for their ecommerce website. The answer is typically dependent upon the web design and ecommerce functionality requirements.
  • How quick is the delivery time for California ecommerce web design services? WebCitz typically completes most California-area ecommerce development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex ecommerce websites.
  • Have you seen your California ecommerce web developer's past work or recent reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce website development portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews to share!

How We Design the Best California Ecommerce Websites

If you want a new ecommerce website, you should expect California ecommerce website design firms to have a formal process for how they do it. Here's how we design California ecommerce sites:

1.) Multiple Discovery Calls

There are typically multiple discovery calls to learn more about your California business, your history with ecommerce, your development expectations, and your future 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.

2.) Kickoff Meeting

If you feel confident about our ecommerce website development firm for your California website development, go ahead and sign the proposal, submit 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 delivery time will be for completion.

3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection

If your future California ecommerce website development is built with WordPress and WooCommerce, or if your design budget can handle a custom design in Shopify, then the first phase of the project starts with mocking up your website. This helps everyone agree on the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts working on it. If you've chosen a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you pick a template for your California ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Web Development

The longest phase of your California ecommerce build will be the development process. This includes everything for data migration, template 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.

5.) Website Training & Launch

As soon as the ecommerce 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 California ecommerce storefront! We can even share a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

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

Corey was extremely helpful and spent a considerable amount of time going over my difficulties with a newly created website put together by someone else. I was under a very stressful deadline and he was extremely considerate and helpful. He managed to fix the problems that I was experiencing with my website. I had reached out to a number of website developers for help but only heard back from Webcity and Corey got back to me within minutes!

We love that we are able to change content whenever we want, but if we run into problems, they are a quick email away. They have been responsive, reliable and efficient. Thanks, WebCitz!
