Pricing for Melbourne, FL Ecommerce Development Tactics

We determine the cost of our ecommerce website development services based on the amount of time you have available for the development of your online store. If budget is a concern, we advise exploring a template-based ecommerce website as an affordable option. Alternatively, if customization and performance are of high priority, you could instead consider a from-scratch custom ecommerce website that starts with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Melbourne Website

If your Melbourne ecommerce company needs a platform recommendation, we need to know what your website's goals are. There isn't one ecommerce platform that works for all Melbourne companies.

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

Melbourne WooCommerce Website Design Packages

WordPress is the most popular content management system for Melbourne websites. To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you will likely be searching for a WooCommerce website designer in Melbourne.

In Melbourne, we help startups and ecommerce businesses get started with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers like 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 Melbourne WooCommerce websites. Theme development for Melbourne ecommerce customers is usually more expensive on Shopify.
• If your Melbourne organization website runs on WordPress, we recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• The web companies in Melbourne who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce, except the web hosting fee to keep the website online. As an alternative, Shopify has expensive monthly fees (depending on your plan) and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• We recommend WooCommerce for most Melbourne organizations that require a product builder. It is simply easier to develop a custom product builder in WordPress than most other platforms. However, there are apps for Melbourne web companies using Shopify that offer simple configurator functionality.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

Melbourne Shopify Website Design Services

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Melbourne, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

With our Shopify website 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 Melbourne merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Melbourne without constantly updating plugins and software.
• We recommend Shopify for Melbourne web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality with Shopify is higher than with WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• We recommend Shopify for Melbourne ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. 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 tactics.

Redoing Existing Ecommerce Sites

Melbourne ecommerce sites that don't perform, don't function, or don't convert well might need a web redesign.

Every Melbourne ecommerce website redesign project deserves exceptional care. For instance, you may lose search rankings and online sales if your Melbourne ecommerce web 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 ecommerce web redesign in Melbourne. Here are some of the important factors to consider when rebuilding Melbourne ecommerce websites:

• How do people reach your Melbourne ecommerce website? If most online sales are coming from organic search traffic it will be critical to maintain URL structures or implement 301 redirects. It's also good to keep the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Melbourne site.
• What do customers think about your Melbourne website? Making big modifications to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. It's advisable to be cautious with design edits if you've already got good conversion rates.
• Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? If so, you need to understand the new Melbourne website won't work like your old one did. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Melbourne Ecommerce Web Design Service

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Melbourne. You should make a list of the goals you'd like to see achieved by a Melbourne ecommerce website developer before you hire them. This will help keep you on track throughout the design of your ecommerce website, and set measurable objectives for later. We've seen these goals for Melbourne ecommerce web design projects:

• To build out an online website for a new Melbourne ecommerce venture.
• To migrate an legacy Melbourne ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
• To redesign an existing Melbourne ecommerce website in the same platform 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 Melbourne Ecommerce Web Designer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce website design firm in Melbourne. Even though the answer is important, how it's delivered is more important. Pay attention to how receptive the sales team is to being asked detailed questions. You'll get a great idea for how things will be when the Melbourne ecommerce website development service starts up.

1.) Multiple Discovery Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Melbourne 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.

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 Search

We'll start with mockups for your Melbourne ecommerce website development 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 theme for your Melbourne ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Development

The longest part of your Melbourne ecommerce build will be the development. It includes data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and more! Throughout this process, you'll have a password-protected development website to visit so you can follow along and provide comments as necessary.
