Pricing for Maine Ecommerce Development Services

Our pricing for ecommerce website development services is based on how much time you can invest in building your online store. If budget is a concern, we recommend considering a template-based ecommerce website as a cost-effective option. If customization and performance are crucial factors, you might want to consider a custom ecommerce website built from scratch, starting with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Maine Website

If your Maine ecommerce company needs a platform recommendation, we need to know what your website's goals are. There isn't one ecommerce platform that's perfect for every Maine website.

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

Maine WooCommerce Web Design Packages

The most popular Maine website content management system is WordPress. If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website designer in Maine.

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Maine 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 good starting point for Maine WooCommerce websites. Theme development for Maine ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
• We recommend WooCommerce for Maine small businesses with an existing WordPress website. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• The web firms in Maine who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for website hosting. 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 Maine 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. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Maine websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

Maine Shopify Website Development Services

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

A lot of our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for new and existing businesses in Maine.

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

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

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Sites

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

Take your ecommerce redesign in Maine seriously. For instance, you may lose search placements and online sales if your Maine 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 ecommerce website makeover in Maine. You should consider these factors when redoing Maine ecommerce sites:

• You have an ecommerce website in Maine. How do people get there? It's important to maintain URL structures or implement 301 redirects if most of your online sales come from organic search traffic. It is also advisable to maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Maine website.
• What do customers think about your Maine website? Making big changes to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. It's advisable to be cautious with design changes if you've already got good conversion rates.
• Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? If so, understand the new Maine website will function differently than your previous website. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Maine Ecommerce Web Design Service

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Maine. Make a list of the things you want your Maine ecommerce website to accomplish before you hire a developer. 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 Maine ecommerce website development projects:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your Maine-based company.
• Upgrade an old Maine ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
• To redesign an ecommerce website to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• To improve the speed and responsiveness of the shopping experience.
• To fix web accessibility glitches for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Our Maine ecommerce website design services have helped other businesses before, so we're excited to help with your new ecommerce website! We can help you put together a list of goals for your Maine ecommerce website if you need it!

Questions to Ask Your Maine Ecommerce Web Developer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce website development firm in Maine. While the answer will be valuable, how it's delivered should be even more important. 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 Maine ecommerce development service starts up. We get asked these ecommerce web development questions a lot by Maine ecommerce businesses:

• Is your ecommerce website development outsourced? WebCitz doesn't outsource ecommerce web design because we have our own Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Maine website.
• Do you create 301 redirects if the URLs are going to change? While WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, sometimes it can't be done. We create 301 redirects for Maine ecommerce developments that have different URL structures.
• When you start an ecommerce web development project, do you make design mockups? For Maine WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Maine ecommerce website development.
• Do you help Maine organization owners select the platform for their ecommerce website? WebCitz helps Maine clients choose the right ecommerce platform. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
• Can you tell me how fast Maine ecommerce website development works? WebCitz usually gets most Maine-area ecommerce sites up and running within 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complicated ones.
• Does your Maine 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 Maine Ecommerce Stores

Efforts to design an ecommerce website in Maine should follow a formal process. Here's how we design Maine ecommerce sites:

1.) Multiple Discovery Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Maine small business, your ecommerce history, your development expectations, and your future plans. By having everyone involved in the ecommerce project speak up, you'll minimize confusion and project delays.

2.) Kickoff Discussion

When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce web design agency for your Maine website development, sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule a kickoff call. This will be an opportunity for everyone involved in the project to have discussions about how the project will unfold, who will be responsible for each phase of the design, and anticipated turnaround times for each element of the project.

3.) Design Mockups or Template Search

We'll start with mockups for your Maine ecommerce web design 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 template for your Maine ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Web Development

The longest part of your Maine ecommerce build will be the development. It includes data migration, template customization, functionality development, and more! A password-protected development website lets you follow along.

5.) Training & Launch

Once the ecommerce 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 Maine ecommerce site! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!
