The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Los Angeles Website
To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Los Angeles business, we'll need to know what your goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Los Angeles-area websites.
To deliver amazing ecommerce website development services in Los Angeles, we have different development teams for WooCommerce projects and Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our local area ecommerce website designers specialize in their own most liked ecommerce platforms.
Los Angeles WooCommerce Web Design Plans
The most popular Los Angeles website content management system is WordPress. If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website designer in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, we help startups and ecommerce businesses get started with WooCommerce.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom template, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce theme is a good starting point for Los Angeles WooCommerce web designs. Shopify template development can be more expensive for Los Angeles ecommerce clients.
- If your Los Angeles 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 companies in Los Angeles who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has high monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often much more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
- For Los Angeles 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. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Los Angeles websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
Los Angeles Shopify Web Design Strategies
Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website developer in Los Angeles.
A lot of our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for new and existing businesses in California.
Our ecommerce web designers love Shopify for these reasons:
- For Los Angeles merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Los Angeles without constantly updating plugins and software.
- For Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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.
Redoing Existing Ecommerce Sites
It might be time to rethink your Los Angeles ecommerce website if you're not happy with its performance, functionality, or conversion rate.
You should approach Los Angeles ecommerce website redesign projects with exceptional care. You can lose search rankings and sales if your Los Angeles ecommerce web designer forgets to create 301 redirects, changes your URL structure drastically, or reorganizes your product catalog.
We like to know your whole business before we start an ecommerce web redesign in Los Angeles. You should consider these factors when rebuilding Los Angeles ecommerce sites:
- You have an ecommerce site in Los Angeles. 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 Los Angeles website.
- What do customers think of your Los Angeles website? Making big updates to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. Consider being more conservative with design changes if your conversion rates are already good.
- Are you moving your ecommerce platform? 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 Los Angeles Ecommerce Web Design Service
Building an ecommerce website in Los Angeles can be expensive. Before hiring a local ecommerce website developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Los Angeles ecommerce web design service. This will help keep you on track during the design of your ecommerce site, and set measurable goals for later. We've seen these goals for Los Angeles ecommerce website design projects:
- Create a new ecommerce website for your Los Angeles-based company.
- Upgrade an old Los Angeles ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
- To redesign an ecommerce website 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 Los Angeles Ecommerce Web Designer
You should ask your Los Angeles ecommerce website design 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. You'll get a great idea for how things will be when the Los Angeles ecommerce website development service starts up. We get asked these ecommerce web design questions a lot by California ecommerce businesses:
- Is your ecommerce development outsourced? WebCitz doesn't outsource ecommerce web development because we have our own Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Los Angeles site.
- 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 create 301 redirects for Los Angeles ecommerce web designs that have different URL structures.
- Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce website design? WebCitz makes design mockups for all Los Angeles WooCommerce development projects, but we don't create design mockups for Shopify projects that are on a restricted budget.
- Can you help Los Angeles company owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps businesses pick the right platform for their ecommerce websites. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
- What's the turnaround time for Los Angeles ecommerce development services? WebCitz typically completes most Los Angeles-area ecommerce web development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex ecommerce websites.
- Your Los Angeles ecommerce website developer should have an ecommerce portfolio or client reviews. Check out our ecommerce web design portfolio, ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!
How We Design the Best Los Angeles Ecommerce Sites
If you want a new ecommerce website, you should expect Los Angeles ecommerce development agencies to have a formal process for how they do it. Here is our process for designing Los Angeles ecommerce websites:
1.) Multiple Discovery Phone Calls
In a discovery call, we learn about your Los Angeles company, your ecommerce history, 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
When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce website development firm for your Los Angeles 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 delivery time will be for completion.
3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection
We'll start with mockups for your Los Angeles 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. This is where we start helping you select a theme for your Los Angeles ecommerce website if you opted for a template-based approach within Shopify.
4.) Ecommerce Web Development
The development phase of your Los Angeles ecommerce build will be the longest. It includes data migration, template customization, functionality development, and more! Throughout the process, you'll be able to follow along via a password-protected development website.
5.) Website Training & Launch
When the ecommerce 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 Los Angeles ecommerce site! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

Southwest Radio Church
What can I say about this company? These people that work there? Unbelievable!! It doesn't matter when or why you call, they will help you. The other part of that statement is: I never have to call them! They made a web site for us that works 24/7. But if I do call they actually take care of it right then. ... great bunch of guys...Southwest Radio Church really appreciates you!!
Alo Health
WebCitz designed our Alo Health website and did such a great job of walking us step-by-step through the process, knowing the tech world was not a strength of ours. 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!
Carissa Giebel
They are great to work with. Always quick to respond to my questions and assist when needed! They have been working with me at Legacy Law Group, LLC for many years.
Sarah Grantham
Corey was absolutely amazing in helping me with my issue. He was encouraging as we worked through things that to me were huge, but he made them seem small. Will definitely use WebCitz again!!!
Jen Ollanketo
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.
