The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Lakeland Website
To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Lakeland business, we'll need to know what your goals are. There isn't one ecommerce platform that's perfect for every Lakeland website.
For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. We can provide expert advice and service because our localized ecommerce web developers specialize in their own favorite ecommerce platforms.
Lakeland WooCommerce Web Development Services
WordPress is the most popular content management system in Lakeland. When you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web developer in Lakeland.
We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies get started with WooCommerce in Lakeland or other parts of United States.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers like WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom theme, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce template is a great starting point for Lakeland WooCommerce website designs. Theme development for Lakeland ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
- If your Lakeland business website runs on WordPress, we recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
- The web companies in Lakeland who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for website hosting. Alternatively, Shopify has high monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often much more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
- For Lakeland small businesses 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 Lakeland web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
Lakeland Shopify Website Development Services
Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web designer in Lakeland.
With our Shopify web development company, we can design a website for a new or existing business in Florida that runs on the Shopify platform.
Our ecommerce website developers love Shopify for these reasons:
- For Lakeland merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Lakeland without constantly updating plugins and software.
- We recommend Shopify for Lakeland web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's more expensive to develop custom functionality in 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 Lakeland 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.
Rebuilding Existing Ecommerce Storefronts
It might be time to rethink your Lakeland ecommerce website if you're not happy with its performance, functionality, or conversion rate.
Take your ecommerce website redesign in Lakeland seriously. It's possible to lose search placements and online sales if your website 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 overhaul in Lakeland. Here are some of the important factors to consider when remaking Lakeland ecommerce websites:
- Where can people find your Lakeland ecommerce site? 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 Lakeland website.
- What do customers think about your Lakeland 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? If so, you need to understand the new Lakeland website won't work like your old one did. You'll have to be prepared to change how you enter products, fill out orders, update customer info, and checkout.
Determine Goals for Your Lakeland Ecommerce Web Design Service
Building an ecommerce website in Lakeland can be expensive. Make a list of the things you want your Lakeland 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 Lakeland ecommerce web design projects:
- To build out an online website for a new Lakeland ecommerce venture.
- To migrate an old Lakeland ecommerce website to a new platform to improve functionality, or site security.
- Redoing an ecommerce website in order to improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
- To make shopping faster and the website more responsive.
- To fix web accessibility concerns for ADA and WCAG compliance.
Our Florida ecommerce web design services have helped other businesses before, so we're excited to help with your new ecommerce website! Let us help you put together a list of goals for your ecommerce website if your Lakeland ecommerce company needs help!
Questions to Ask Your Lakeland Ecommerce Web Developer
You should ask your Lakeland ecommerce website development agency a lot of questions. 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 great idea for how things will be when the Lakeland ecommerce development service starts up. Here are some common ecommerce web development questions we get asked by ecommerce businesses in and around Florida:
- Are you outsourcing ecommerce website development? At WebCitz, we don't outsource ecommerce web design services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers.
- When the URLs change, do you create 301 redirects? While WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, sometimes it can't be done. We create 301 redirects for Lakeland ecommerce developments that have different URL structures.
- Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web development? For Lakeland WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Lakeland ecommerce website development.
- Are you able to help Lakeland businesses choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz helps clients pick the right platform for their ecommerce websites. Generally, the answer depends on your website development and ecommerce needs.
- Can you tell me how fast Lakeland ecommerce web development works? WebCitz typically completes most Lakeland-area ecommerce website development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex ecommerce websites.
- Your Lakeland ecommerce web designer should have an ecommerce portfolio or client reviews. Check out our ecommerce development portfolio, ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!
How We Design the Best Lakeland Ecommerce Sites
If you want a new ecommerce website, you should expect Lakeland ecommerce website development agencies to have a formal process for how they do it. Here's how we design Lakeland ecommerce sites:
1.) Discovery Phone Calls
In a discovery call, we learn about your Lakeland company, your ecommerce history, your development expectations, and your future plans. This helps ensure everyone working on your project has an opportunity to voice their opinion, which goes a long way to minimizing confusion throughout the ecommerce project.
2.) Kickoff Conversation
If you're happy with our ecommerce website design firm for your Lakeland 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 Search
We'll start with mockups for your Lakeland ecommerce web design 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. If you've chosen a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you pick a template for your Lakeland ecommerce site.
4.) Ecommerce Website Development
The development phase of your Lakeland ecommerce build will be the longest. It includes data migration, template customization, functionality development, and more! A password-protected development website lets you follow along.
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 Lakeland ecommerce site! We can even share a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!
We've been optimizing our Florida ecommerce website development process for more than 18 years. We have incredible experience designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce websites throughout United States!
Additional options for Your Lakeland Ecommerce Development Project

- Let our internet marketers help you rank your ecommerce products higher in Lakeland search results, or nationwide.
- We have a paid ads team who can help you with any campaign type on Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or Bing Ads.
- With our website accessibility solutions, you'll be able to comply with ADA and WCAG standards.
