The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Long Beach Website
To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Long Beach business, we'll need to know what your goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Long Beach-area websites.
For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. This gives our ecommerce website developers the chance to specialize in particular development environments to provide expert advice and help.
Long Beach WooCommerce Web Design Plans
WordPress is the most popular content management system for Long Beach websites. When you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web developer in Long Beach.
We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies get started with WooCommerce in Long Beach or other parts of United States.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom theme, 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 Long Beach WooCommerce websites. Shopify theme development can be more expensive for Long Beach ecommerce customers.
- If your Long Beach 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.
- WooCommerce is a great open-source option for Long Beach web companies. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce, except the web 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.
- For Long Beach organizations that need a product builder, we recommend WooCommerce. If you are using WordPress and WooCommerce, there are numerous product builder plugins to consider and we've got experience developing custom builders in WooCommerce. However, there are apps for Long Beach web companies using Shopify that offer simple configurator functionality.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
Long Beach Shopify Website Design Tactics
Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Long Beach, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.
A lot of our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for new and existing businesses in California.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:
- Long Beach merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Long Beach without constantly updating plugins and software.
- For Long Beach web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, 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.
- Shopify is a good option for Long Beach ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. 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
It might be time to rethink your Long Beach ecommerce website if you're not happy with its performance, functionality, or conversion rate.
You should approach Long Beach ecommerce website refresh projects with exceptional care. It's possible to lose search placements and online sales if your website designer forgets to create 301 redirects, completely restructures your URLs, or improperly reorganizes your product catalog.
Long Beach ecommerce website makeover starts with a thorough review of your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. You should consider these factors when redoing Long Beach ecommerce sites:
- How do people reach your Long Beach ecommerce website? If your online sales come mostly from organic search traffic, you'll need to maintain URL structures and use 301 redirects. Maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and content throughout the development of your Long Beach website.
- What do customers think of your Long Beach website? Making big edits to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. It's advisable to be cautious with design tweaks if you've already got good conversion rates.
- Are you moving your ecommerce platform? If so, you need to understand the new Long Beach 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 Long Beach Ecommerce Web Development Service
Building an ecommerce website in Long Beach can be expensive. Before hiring a local ecommerce website designer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Long Beach ecommerce development service. Keeping track of measurable goals will help you keep your ecommerce website progressing in the right direction. Here are some of the goals we've seen for Long Beach ecommerce website development projects:
- Create a new ecommerce website for your Long Beach-based company.
- To migrate an legacy Long Beach ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
- Rebuilding an ecommerce site in order to improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
- To make shopping faster and the website more responsive.

Questions to Ask Your Long Beach Ecommerce Web Designer
You should ask your Long Beach ecommerce development company 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. Check to see how receptive the sales team is to detailed questions. If you do this now, you'll get an idea of what to expect in future communication. We get asked these ecommerce website development questions a lot by California ecommerce businesses:
- Do you outsource ecommerce web design services? At WebCitz, we don't outsource ecommerce website design services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers.
- When the URLs change, do you create 301 redirects? WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, but this is often not possible during platform migrations. We create 301 redirects for Long Beach ecommerce developments that have different URL structures.
- When you start an ecommerce web development project, do you make design mockups? WebCitz makes design mockups for all Long Beach WooCommerce development projects, but we don't create design mockups for Shopify projects that are on a restricted budget.
- Are you able to help Long Beach small businesses choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz helps Long Beach clients choose the right ecommerce platform. Typically, the answer is based on the web design and ecommerce requirements.
- How quick is the delivery time for Long Beach ecommerce website development services? WebCitz usually gets Long Beach ecommerce web design projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.

How We Design the Best Long Beach Ecommerce Websites
If you want a new ecommerce website, you should expect Long Beach ecommerce website development firms to have a formal process for how they do it. Here is our process for designing Long Beach ecommerce websites:
1.) Discovery Phone Calls
There are usually multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Long Beach 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 Meeting
If you're happy with our ecommerce development company for your Long Beach site development, just sign the proposal, pay a down payment, and schedule your kickoff call! There will be a chance for everyone involved in the project to have a discussion about how the project will unfold, who will be responsible for each stage of the design, and how long the turnaround time will be for each phase.
3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection
We'll start with mockups for your Long Beach ecommerce website design 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. This is where we start helping you select a theme for your Long Beach ecommerce website if you opted for a template-based approach within Shopify.
4.) Ecommerce Web Design
The longest part of your Long Beach ecommerce build will be the development. 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!)
When the ecommerce website development project is nearly done, we'll start working with you on training. If you're comfortable with managing the ecommerce site, let's schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Long Beach ecommerce site! If interested, we can even share with you a checklist for the launch of the ecommerce site!

WebCitz helped the Oshkosh Area Humane Society with our new website and they were great to work with. Responsive, professional and affordable. I think the biggest perk for us was having someone local we could talk to for assistance instead of long wait times. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to start up or revamp their website.
