Pricing for Irvine, CA Ecommerce Web Development Services

The pricing of our ecommerce web design services depends on the extent of time you can invest in the creation of your online store. If you are on a tight budget, we recommend you look at a template-based ecommerce website to save money. 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 Irvine Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Irvine business, we'll need to know what your goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Irvine-area websites.

To deliver amazing ecommerce web development services in Irvine, we have different development teams for WooCommerce projects and Shopify projects. This allows our local ecommerce web designers to specialize in a particular development environment to provide expert advice and service.

Irvine WooCommerce Web Design Plans

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

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

Here's why our ecommerce developers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom theme, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce template is a great starting point for Irvine WooCommerce web designs. Theme development within Shopify is often more expensive for Irvine ecommerce customers.
• If your Irvine organization website runs on WordPress, we recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• The web companies in Irvine 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.
• Most Irvine small businesses that want a product builder should consider WooCommerce. It's easier to build a product builder on WordPress than most other platforms. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Irvine websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

Irvine Shopify Web Design Tactics

Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce site using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Irvine.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• For Irvine merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Irvine without constantly updating plugins and software.
• For Irvine web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality with Shopify is higher than with WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• We recommend Shopify for Irvine ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. It's faster to test out a new product on a Shopify website and cycle through different apps and ideas for conversion optimization.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Sites

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

You should approach Irvine ecommerce website refresh projects with exceptional care. You can lose search placements and sales if your Irvine ecommerce website designer forgets to create 301 redirects, changes your URL structure drastically, or reorganizes your product catalog.

Before starting Irvine ecommerce website redesign projects, we like to thoroughly review your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. You should consider these factors when rebuilding Irvine ecommerce sites:

• You have an ecommerce website in Irvine. 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 Irvine website.
• How do customers like your Irvine site? Making big tweaks to your site is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. Consider being more conservative with design modifications if your conversion rates are already good.
• Are you migrating ecommerce platforms? If so, you need to understand the new Irvine website won't work like your old one did. The way you enter products, fulfill orders, update customer information, and go through the checkout will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Irvine Ecommerce Web Development Package

Building an ecommerce website in Irvine can be expensive. Before hiring a local ecommerce developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Irvine ecommerce web development service. This will help keep you on track during the design of your ecommerce site, and set measurable goals for later. The most common goals we've seen for Irvine ecommerce website development projects include:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your Irvine-based company.
• Upgrade an old Irvine 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.
• For ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your Irvine Ecommerce Developer

You should ask your Irvine ecommerce web development firm a lot of questions. While the answer will be valuable, even more important to you should be the manner in which the answer is given. Pay attention to whether the sales team is willing to answer detailed questions. This will provide insight into future communication as the Irvine ecommerce web design service gets started. We get asked these ecommerce website design questions a lot by California ecommerce businesses:

• Is your ecommerce development outsourced? At WebCitz, we don't outsource ecommerce web development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers.
• If you change URLs, do you set up 301 redirects? It's hard to keep the URL structure the same during platform migrations, but WebCitz tries. We create 301 redirects for Irvine ecommerce website developments that have different URL structures.
• Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web design? WebCitz creates design mockups for all Irvine WooCommerce developments, but we only create a design mockup for Shopify projects that have a higher budget for a fully custom Irvine ecommerce development.
• Are you able to help Irvine small businesses choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz does help Irvine businesses select the platform for their ecommerce website. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
• Can you tell me how fast Irvine ecommerce development works? WebCitz usually gets Irvine ecommerce web development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
• Have you seen your Irvine ecommerce website developer's past work or recent reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce web design portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!

How We Design the Best Irvine Ecommerce Websites

If you want a new ecommerce website, you should expect Irvine ecommerce web development firms to have a formal process for how they do it. Here is our process for designing Irvine ecommerce websites:

1.) Multiple Discovery Phone Calls

There are typically multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Irvine company, your history with ecommerce, your development expectations, and your future goals. 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 web design company for your Irvine website 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 Mockup or Theme Selection

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

4.) Ecommerce Web Development

The longest phase of your Irvine ecommerce build will be the development process. 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!)

As soon as the ecommerce website design project is finished, we'll provide you with any training you need. We'll schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Irvine ecommerce storefront once you're comfortable managing it. You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

We've been improving this California ecommerce web development process for more than 18 years. We have a tremendous amount of experience planning, designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce web sites throughout United States!
