Iowa Ecommerce Web Design

Our Iowa Ecommerce Website Design Packages

Our agency was founded on providing custom web solutions throughout Iowa and the United States. We have a strong history of working with local clients to understand their ecommerce business and deliver a custom Iowa-area website unique to their online brand.

You'll be in good hands with us when it comes to Iowa ecommerce website development. We'll work with your Iowa team to understand the functionality you need, outline the deliverables and turnaround time, and make sure everything runs smoothly after the launch.

Our ecommerce web design company is happy to provide Burlington, Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa City, and Waterloo with premium ecommerce web development services.

Pricing for Iowa Ecommerce Website Development Services

The cost of our ecommerce development services is determined by the amount of time you can commit to the development of your online store. For those on a tight budget, we suggest exploring template-based ecommerce websites to save money. If you value customization and performance highly, you could opt for a custom ecommerce website created from the ground up, beginning with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Iowa Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Iowa organization, we'll need to know what your goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Iowa-area websites.

For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. This gives our ecommerce web designers the chance to specialize in particular development environments to provide expert advice and help.

Iowa WooCommerce Website Design Packages

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

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

Here's why our ecommerce web designers love WooCommerce:

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Iowa web design projects that require a custom designed template, but are working on a limited budget. We have our own custom WooCommerce theme that is based on Understrap and makes a good starting point for Iowa WooCommerce websites. Theme development for Iowa ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
• If your Iowa company 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 rebuilding that website just to add ecommerce?
• The web agencies in Iowa who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you might have to pay a lot of money for the platform, and their apps are often a lot more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• We recommend WooCommerce for most Iowa small businesses that require a product builder. 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 Iowa web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
• We recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

Iowa Shopify Web Development Packages

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

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers often recommend Shopify:

• We recommend Shopify for Iowa merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Iowa without the hassle of constantly updating plugins or software versions.
• We recommend Shopify for Iowa web firms 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.
• We recommend Shopify for Iowa 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 plans.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Stores

It might be time to rethink your Iowa ecommerce website if you're not happy with its performance, functionality, or conversion rate.

You should approach Iowa ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. It's possible to lose search rankings and online sales if your web designer forgets to create 301 redirects, completely restructures your URLs, or improperly reorganizes your product catalog.

Iowa ecommerce web redesign starts with a thorough review of your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when rebuilding Iowa ecommerce sites:

• How do people reach your Iowa 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 Iowa site.
• How do customers like your Iowa site? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the website then it is okay to make big updates. 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 Iowa website won't work like your old one did. The way you enter products, fulfill orders, update customer information, and go through the checkout will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Iowa Ecommerce Web Design Service

Building an ecommerce website in Iowa can be expensive. Before hiring a local ecommerce website developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Iowa ecommerce web design service. Keeping track of measurable goals will help you keep your ecommerce website progressing in the right direction. Here are some of the goals we've seen for Iowa ecommerce development projects:

• To build out an online store for a new Iowa business.
• To migrate an legacy Iowa ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
• Redesigning an ecommerce website in order to improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• To make shopping faster and the site more responsive.
• For ADA and WCAG compliance.

We've provided such Iowa ecommerce web design solutions before and are excited by the prospect of helping with your new ecommerce website design! We can help you put together a list of goals for your Iowa ecommerce website if you need it!

Questions to Ask Your Iowa Ecommerce Web Developer

You should ask your Iowa ecommerce website development firm 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. Check to see how receptive the sales team is to detailed questions. If you do this now, you'll get an idea of what to expect in future communication. Here are a few of the ecommerce development questions we get from businesses in and around Iowa:

• Do you outsource ecommerce web development services? At WebCitz, we don't outsource ecommerce website development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers.
• When the URLs change, do you create 301 redirects? It's hard to keep the URL structure the same during platform migrations, but WebCitz tries. We do create 301 redirects for Iowa ecommerce web designs that will have a different URL structure.
• When you start an ecommerce website design project, do you make design mockups? For Iowa WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Iowa ecommerce development.
• Are you able to help Iowa businesses choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz does help Iowa companies select the platform for their ecommerce website. Generally, the answer depends on your web design and ecommerce needs.
• What's the delivery time for Iowa ecommerce website development services? WebCitz usually gets most Iowa-area ecommerce sites up and running within 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complicated ones.
• Does your Iowa ecommerce web designer have a design portfolio or client reviews? Check out our ecommerce website design portfolio, ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!

How We Design the Best Iowa Ecommerce Stores

If you want a new ecommerce website, you should expect Iowa ecommerce web development companies to have a formal process for how they do it. Here is our process for designing Iowa ecommerce websites:

1.) Discovery Phone Calls

There are usually multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Iowa organization, your history with ecommerce, your development expectations, and your future plans. Having everyone involved in the ecommerce project voice their opinion helps minimize confusion.

2.) Kickoff Meeting

If you're happy with our ecommerce development company for your Iowa site 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 turnaround time will be for each phase.

3.) Design Mockup or Theme Selection

If your future Iowa ecommerce website design is in WordPress with WooCommerce, or your design budget accommodates a custom design in Shopify, then the first phase of the project will begin with mocking up the design of your website. 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 Iowa ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Web Design

The longest phase of your Iowa 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.

5.) Training & Launch

Once the ecommerce website development project is close to completion, we'll start working with you to provide any necessary training. If you're comfortable with managing the ecommerce site, let's schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Iowa ecommerce site! We can even share a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

We've been working on our Iowa ecommerce website design process for more than 18 years. We have a tremendous amount of experience planning, designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce web sites throughout the United States!
