The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Rockford Website
To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Rockford business, we'll need to know what your goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Rockford-area websites.
To deliver exceptional ecommerce development services in Rockford, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce website developers specialize in their own most liked ecommerce platforms.
Rockford WooCommerce Web Design Plans
WordPress is the most popular content management system for Rockford websites. To run an ecommerce site using WordPress you will likely be looking for a WooCommerce web designer in Rockford.
We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies get started with WooCommerce in Rockford or other parts of United States.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers 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 Rockford WooCommerce web designs. Theme development for Rockford ecommerce customers is usually more expensive on Shopify.
- If your Rockford organization website runs on WordPress, we recommend WooCommerce. 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?
- We recommend WooCommerce for Rockford web companies who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for web hosting. Alternatively, Shopify has high monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often much more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
- We recommend WooCommerce for most Rockford small businesses 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 Rockford web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
Rockford Shopify Web Development Strategies
Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web developer in Rockford.
With our Shopify website development company, we can design a website for a new or existing business in Illinois that runs on the Shopify platform.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers often recommend Shopify:
- We recommend Shopify for Rockford merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Rockford without constantly updating plugins and software.
- We recommend Shopify for Rockford web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
- Shopify is a great option for Rockford ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery 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.
Determine Goals for Your Rockford Ecommerce Development Package
Building an ecommerce site in Rockford can be expensive. Before hiring a local ecommerce web designer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Rockford ecommerce website design service. 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 Rockford ecommerce development projects:
- To build out an online website for a new Rockford ecommerce venture.
- To migrate an legacy Rockford ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
- To redesign an existing Rockford ecommerce website in the same platform to improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
- To make shopping faster and the site more responsive.
- To fix web accessibility glitches for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your Rockford Ecommerce Website Developer
You should ask your Rockford ecommerce web design agency a lot of questions. 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 Rockford ecommerce website development service starts up. Here are some common ecommerce web design questions we get asked by ecommerce businesses in and around Illinois:
- Do you outsource ecommerce website design services? WebCitz does not outsource ecommerce development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Rockford ecommerce website.

- Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web design? For Rockford WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Rockford ecommerce development.
- Are you able to help Rockford small businesses choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz does help Rockford businesses select the platform for their ecommerce website. The answer is typically dependent upon the website design and ecommerce functionality requirements.
- Can you tell me how fast Rockford ecommerce development works? WebCitz typically completes most Rockford-area ecommerce web development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex ecommerce websites.
