The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Palm Springs Website
If your Palm Springs ecommerce company needs a platform recommendation, we need to know what your website's goals are. There isn't one ecommerce platform that's perfect for every Palm Springs website.
To deliver exceptional ecommerce web development services in Palm Springs, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. This gives our ecommerce website developers the chance to specialize in particular development environments to provide expert advice and help.
Palm Springs WooCommerce Web Design Plans
The most popular Palm Springs website content management system is WordPress. If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website developer in Palm Springs.
Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Palm Springs get started with WooCommerce.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce 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 Palm Springs WooCommerce web designs. Theme development for Palm Springs ecommerce customers is usually more expensive on Shopify.
- If your Palm Springs business already has a WordPress site, we recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money rebuilding your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
- WooCommerce is a great open-source option for Palm Springs web companies. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for website 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.
- For Palm Springs organizations that need a product builder, we recommend WooCommerce. It is simply easier to develop a custom product builder in WordPress than most other platforms. However, there are apps for Palm Springs web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
Palm Springs Shopify Web Design Strategies
Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website developer in Palm Springs.
Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for new and existing businesses throughout California within the Shopify platform.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:
- Palm Springs merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. If you want to run an ecommerce business in Palm Springs, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
- When Palm Springs web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, 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.
- The best ecommerce platform for Palm Springs organizations that rely heavily on fast delivery 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.
Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Sites
Palm Springs ecommerce sites that don't perform, don't function, or don't convert well might need a website refresh.
Take your ecommerce web redesign in Palm Springs seriously. For instance, you may lose search rankings and online sales if your Palm Springs ecommerce web developer forgets to create 301 redirects, drastically changes your URL structure, or reorganizes your product catalog.
Palm Springs ecommerce website refresh starts with a thorough review of your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. You should consider these factors when redesigning Palm Springs ecommerce sites:
- You have an ecommerce website in Palm Springs. 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 is also advisable to maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Palm Springs website.
- What do customers think of your Palm Springs website? Making big tweaks 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.
- Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? It will work different than your old website, if that's the case. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.
Determine Goals for Your Palm Springs Ecommerce Website Development Package
You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Palm Springs. Make a list of the things you want your Palm Springs 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. Here are some of the goals we've seen for Palm Springs ecommerce web development projects:
- Create a new ecommerce website for your Palm Springs-based company.
- Upgrade an old Palm Springs ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.

Questions to Ask Your Palm Springs Ecommerce Developer
You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce web development company in Palm Springs. 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. If you do this now, you'll get an idea of what to expect in future communication. 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 Palm Springs site.
- Do you create 301 redirects if the URLs are going to change? WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, but this is often not possible during platform migrations. We create 301 redirects for Palm Springs ecommerce web designs that have different URL structures.
- Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce website design? For Palm Springs WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Palm Springs ecommerce development.
- Can you help Palm Springs business owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps Palm Springs companies choose the right ecommerce platform. Typically, the answer is based on the web development and ecommerce requirements.
- Can you tell me how fast Palm Springs ecommerce development works? WebCitz usually gets Palm Springs ecommerce web development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.

How We Design the Best Palm Springs Ecommerce Sites
Efforts to design an ecommerce website in Palm Springs should follow a formal process. Here's how we design Palm Springs ecommerce sites:
1.) Multiple Discovery Calls
There are usually multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Palm Springs 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
When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce web development company for your Palm Springs website development, sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule a kickoff call. This will be an opportunity for everyone involved in the project to have discussions about how the project will unfold, who will be responsible for each phase of the design, and anticipated turnaround times for each element of the project.
3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection
We'll start with mockups for your Palm Springs ecommerce web 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 site 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 Palm Springs ecommerce site.
4.) Ecommerce Website Design
The longest part of your Palm Springs ecommerce build will be the development. Data migration, template customization, functionality development, and more! A password-protected development website lets you follow along.
5.) Website Launch (Plus Website Training!)
When the ecommerce website development project is nearly done, we'll start working with you on training. When you are comfortable managing the ecommerce website, we'll schedule a time that works for everyone involved to launch your future Palm Springs ecommerce storefront! We can even share a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

George Ormond
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!
Wendy Bottesi

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!
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.
Tara Candland
Incredibly responsive, fast, and professional. They quickly understood the issue we were having with our site, which was fairly complicated, and were able to resolve it. They kept us updated in lay terms along the way so that we could understand how the issue was progressing.
Jeff Ring
This company is just a thrill to work with. Everyone is so friendly and eager to help even with the smallest items. They are always very accommodating when you stop by to look at the magnificent fish tank and will greet you with with a warm cappuccino.
