Pricing for San Diego, CA Ecommerce Website Development Solutions

We determine the cost of our ecommerce website design services based on the amount of time you have available for the development of your online store. For those with limited funds, we suggest considering a template-based ecommerce website as a cost-saving measure. For those who prioritize performance and customization, we suggest exploring a custom ecommerce website built from scratch and starting with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your San Diego Website

If your San Diego 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 San Diego website.

For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. We can provide expert advice and service because our nearby ecommerce developers specialize in their own favorite ecommerce platforms.

San Diego WooCommerce Web Development Services

WordPress is the most popular content management system for San Diego websites. When you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce website designer in San Diego.

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies get started with WooCommerce in San Diego or other parts of United States.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template, 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 great starting point for San Diego WooCommerce websites. Theme development for San Diego ecommerce customers is usually more expensive on Shopify.
• If your San Diego organization already has a WordPress site, we recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for San Diego web companies. 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 San Diego small 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. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for San Diego websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

San Diego Shopify Web Design Tactics

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce site in San Diego, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

With our Shopify web development company, we can design a website for a new or existing business in California that runs on the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• For San Diego merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. If you want to run an ecommerce business in San Diego, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
• When San Diego 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, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• We recommend Shopify for San Diego ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery times for development and marketing initiatives. 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.

Rebuilding Existing Ecommerce Storefronts

San Diego ecommerce sites that don't perform, don't function, or don't convert well might need a website refresh.

Take your ecommerce website overhaul in San Diego seriously. It's possible to lose search rankings and online sales if your web developer forgets to create 301 redirects, completely restructures your URLs, or improperly reorganizes your product catalog.

We like to know your whole business before we start an ecommerce website makeover in San Diego. You should consider these factors when redesigning San Diego ecommerce sites:

• How do people reach your San Diego 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 San Diego website.
• What do customers think of your San Diego website? Making big tweaks to your site is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. It's advisable to be cautious with design modifications if you've already got good conversion rates.
• 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 San Diego Ecommerce Development Service

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in San Diego. Make a list of the things you want your San Diego ecommerce website to accomplish before you hire a developer. Keeping track of measurable goals will help you keep your ecommerce website progressing in the right direction. We've seen these goals for San Diego ecommerce web development projects:

• Create a new ecommerce site for your San Diego-based company.
• To migrate an legacy San Diego ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
• Redesigning an ecommerce website in order to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• To make shopping faster and the website more responsive.
• To fix web accessibility glitches for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Our California ecommerce development services have helped other businesses before, so we're excited to help with your new ecommerce website! We can help you put together a list of goals for your San Diego ecommerce website if you need it!

Questions to Ask Your San Diego Ecommerce Website Developer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce web design company in San Diego. While the answer will be valuable, how it's delivered should be even more important. Check to see how receptive the sales team is to detailed questions. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the San Diego ecommerce web development service starts up. 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 development 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 San Diego ecommerce web developments that have different URL structures.
• When you start an ecommerce website development project, do you make design mockups? For San Diego WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom San Diego ecommerce web design.
• Can you help San Diego small business owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps San Diego customers choose the right ecommerce platform. Typically, the answer is based on the web design and ecommerce requirements.
• Can you tell me how fast San Diego ecommerce website development works? WebCitz usually gets San Diego 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 San Diego Ecommerce Storefronts

Efforts to design an ecommerce website in San Diego should follow a formal process. Here's how we design San Diego ecommerce sites:

1.) Discovery Phone Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your San Diego 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 Meeting

If you're happy with our ecommerce website design firm for your San Diego website 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 delivery time will be for each phase.

3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection

We'll start with mockups for your San Diego ecommerce web 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. If you've chosen a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you pick a template for your San Diego ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Website Development

The longest part of your San Diego 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!)

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 San Diego ecommerce storefront! You can even get 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 have a tremendous amount of experience planning, designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce web sites throughout United States!
