The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Norwalk Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Norwalk e-commerce company we will need to talk with you about your website's objectives. There is no single e-commerce platform that is perfect for all Norwalk-area websites.

To deliver exceptional ecommerce development services in Norwalk, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce web developers specialize in their own preferred ecommerce platforms.

Norwalk WooCommerce Website Design Services

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

In Norwalk, we help startups and e-commerce businesses get started with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers like WooCommerce:

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Norwalk web design projects that need a custom theme, but are on a budget. We have our own internally developed WooCommerce theme, based on Understrap, which is a great starting point for a custom-designed Norwalk WooCommerce web site. Theme development within Shopify is often more expensive for Norwalk e-commerce clients.
• We recommend WooCommerce for Norwalk businesses with an existing WordPress website. 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 Norwalk 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.
• Most Norwalk businesses that want a product builder should consider 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 Norwalk websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

Norwalk Shopify Web Design Services

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an e-commerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Norwalk.

Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for new and existing businesses throughout Connecticut within the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• Norwalk merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Norwalk without the hassle of constantly updating plugins or software versions.
• When Norwalk 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.
• Shopify is a great option for Norwalk e-commerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It is often faster to set up a Shopify website to test out a new product and cycle through various apps and ideas to test conversion optimization strategies.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Websites

If you are unhappy with the performance, functionality, or conversion rate of your Norwalk ecommerce website it might be time to think about a redesign or rehaul of your website.

You should approach Norwalk e-commerce redesign projects with exceptional care. For instance, you may lose search rankings and online sales if your Norwalk ecommerce website designer forgets to create 301 redirects, drastically changes your URL structure, or reorganizes your product catalog.

We like to know your whole business before we start an e-commerce website redesign in Norwalk. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when redesigning Norwalk ecommerce sites:

• How do people reach your Norwalk e-commerce website? 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 Norwalk website.
• What do customers think about your Norwalk website? It's okay to make big changes to your website if your online shoppers aren't happy. If your conversion rates are already good, maybe you should consider being more conservative with design changes.
• Are you migrating e-commerce platforms? If so, understand the new Norwalk website will function differently than your previous website. The way you enter products, fulfill orders, update customer information, and go through the checkout will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Norwalk Ecommerce Web Design Service

Building out an ecommerce website in Norwalk can be an expensive project. Before hiring a local ecommerce website developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Norwalk ecommerce web design service. This will help keep you on track throughout the design of your e-commerce website, and set measurable objectives for later. We've seen these goals for Norwalk ecommerce website design projects:

• To build out an online store for a new Norwalk business.
• To migrate an legacy Norwalk ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
• Redesigning an e-commerce site in order to improve user experience (UX), reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• Improving the shopping experience by making it faster and more responsive.

Questions to Ask Your Norwalk Ecommerce Web Designer

There are numerous questions to ask your Norwalk ecommerce development agency before making a hiring decision. While the answer will be valuable, even more important to you should be the manner in which the answer is given. Pay attention to how receptive the sales team is to being asked detailed questions. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the Norwalk ecommerce website development service starts up. Here are a few of the ecommerce web design questions we get from businesses in and around Connecticut:

• Do you outsource ecommerce development services? 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? While WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, sometimes it can't be done. For Norwalk ecommerce website development, we do 301 redirects with a different URL structure.
• Do you create design mockups before starting a new ecommerce website design project? WebCitz creates design mockups for all Norwalk WooCommerce developments, but we only create a design mockup for Shopify projects that have a higher budget for a fully custom Norwalk ecommerce web design.
• Do you help Norwalk business owners select the platform for their e-commerce website? WebCitz does help Norwalk clients select the platform for their ecommerce website. Generally, the answer depends on your web design and e-commerce needs.

How We Design the Best Norwalk Ecommerce Websites

You should expect Norwalk ecommerce web design agencies to have a formal process for how a new e-commerce website will be developed. Here is our process for designing Norwalk ecommerce websites:

Multiple Discovery Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Norwalk company, your ecommerce history, your development expectations, and your future plans. Having everyone involved in the ecommerce project voice their opinion helps minimize confusion.

Kickoff Meeting

If you're happy with our ecommerce web development firm for your Norwalk 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.

Design Mockups or Template Search

If your future Norwalk ecommerce website design is built with WordPress and WooCommerce, or if your design budget can handle a custom design in Shopify, then the first phase of the project starts with mocking up your website. This allows everyone to be on the same page regarding the look and feel of your website before an e-commerce developer starts the build process. Alternatively, if you selected a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you select a theme for your Norwalk ecommerce site.

Ecommerce Web Development

The longest phase of your Norwalk ecommerce build will be the development process. It includes data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and more! Throughout the process, you'll be able to follow along via a password-protected development website.

Website Training & Launch

As soon as the ecommerce web design project is finished, we'll provide you with any training you need. If you're comfortable with managing the e-commerce site, let's schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Norwalk e-commerce site! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce site if you're interested!
