Our ecommerce web design agency is happy to provide Bloomington, Duluth, Minneapolis, Plymouth, Rochester, St. Paul, and Woodbury with professional ecommerce website development services.

Pricing for Minnesota Ecommerce Web Design Services

Our pricing for ecommerce development services is based on how much time you can invest in building 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 Minnesota Website

If your Minnesota ecommerce company needs a platform recommendation, we need to know what your website's goals are. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all Minnesota-area websites.

For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce web designers specialize in their own preferred ecommerce platforms.

Minnesota WooCommerce Website Design Services

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

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

Here's why our ecommerce web developers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. We have our own internally developed WooCommerce theme, based on Understrap, which is a great starting point for a custom-designed Minnesota WooCommerce web site. Shopify template development can be more expensive for Minnesota ecommerce clients.
• If your Minnesota business already has a WordPress site, 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.
• WooCommerce is a great open-source option for Minnesota web companies. 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.
• For Minnesota 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 Minnesota web companies using Shopify that offer easy configurator functionality.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

Minnesota Shopify Web Design Services

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web developer in Minnesota.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• Minnesota merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Minnesota without constantly updating plugins and software.
• We recommend Shopify for Minnesota web agencies 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 that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for Minnesota small businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing is Shopify. It's faster to test out a new product on a Shopify website and cycle through different apps and ideas for conversion optimization.

Remaking Existing Ecommerce Websites

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

You should approach Minnesota ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. It's possible to lose search placements and online sales if your web designer 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 redesign in Minnesota. You should consider these factors when redesigning Minnesota ecommerce sites:

• Where can people find your Minnesota ecommerce site? 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 Minnesota website.
• How do customers like your Minnesota site? Making big updates to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. If your conversion rates are already good, maybe you should consider being more conservative with design changes.
• Are you moving your ecommerce platform? It will work different than your old website, if that's the case. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Minnesota Ecommerce Web Design Service

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Minnesota. Before hiring a local ecommerce website developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Minnesota ecommerce web design service. Keeping track of measurable goals will help you keep your ecommerce website progressing in the right direction. We've seen these goals for Minnesota ecommerce development projects:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your Minnesota-based company.
• To migrate an old Minnesota ecommerce website to a new platform to improve functionality, or website security.
• To redesign an existing Minnesota 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.
• For ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your Minnesota Ecommerce Developer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce web development company in Minnesota. 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. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the Minnesota ecommerce web design service starts up. We get asked these ecommerce development questions a lot by Minnesota ecommerce businesses:

• Are you outsourcing ecommerce web development? WebCitz does not outsource ecommerce website development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Minnesota ecommerce website.
• If you change URLs, do you set up 301 redirects? It's hard to keep the URL structure the same during platform migrations, but WebCitz tries. We create 301 redirects for Minnesota ecommerce website designs that have different URL structures.
• Do you create design mockups before starting a new ecommerce development project? WebCitz makes design mockups for all Minnesota WooCommerce development projects, but we don't create design mockups for Shopify projects that are on a restricted budget.
• Can you help Minnesota business owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps Minnesota companies choose the right ecommerce platform. Typically, the answer is based on the web development and ecommerce requirements.
• How quick is the turnaround time for Minnesota ecommerce web development services? WebCitz usually gets Minnesota ecommerce website development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
• Your Minnesota ecommerce web designer should have a ecommerce portfolio or client reviews. Check out our ecommerce website design portfolio, ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!

How We Design the Best Minnesota Ecommerce Stores

Efforts to design an ecommerce website in Minnesota should follow a formal process. Here is our process for designing Minnesota ecommerce websites:

1.) Discovery Phone Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Minnesota 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 Conversation

If you feel confident about our ecommerce web design agency for your Minnesota website development, go ahead and sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule your kickoff call! 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 turnaround time will be for completion.

3.) Design Mockup or Theme Selection

We'll start with mockups for your Minnesota ecommerce web design if it's built in WordPress with WooCommerce or if your budget allows a custom design built in Shopify. This allows everyone to be on the same page regarding the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts the build process. This is where we start helping you select a template for your Minnesota ecommerce website if you opted for a template-based approach within Shopify.

4.) Ecommerce Website Development

The longest part of your Minnesota ecommerce build will be the development. 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.

5.) Website Launch (Plus Website Training!)

When the ecommerce web 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 Minnesota ecommerce site! If interested, we can even share with you a checklist for the launch of the ecommerce site!

We've been optimizing our Minnesota ecommerce website development process for more than 18 years. We have incredible experience designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce websites throughout the United States!
