Pricing for Missouri Ecommerce Web Development Services

Our pricing for ecommerce web design 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. In case you prioritize customization and performance, a custom ecommerce website designed from scratch might be a better option for you.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Missouri Website

If your Missouri 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 Missouri-area websites.

To deliver amazing ecommerce development services in Missouri, we have different development teams for WooCommerce projects and Shopify projects. This gives our ecommerce web developers the chance to specialize in particular development environments to provide expert advice and help.

Missouri WooCommerce Website Design Services

WordPress is the most popular content management system for Missouri websites. To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you will likely be looking for a WooCommerce web developer in Missouri.

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Missouri get started with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers like WooCommerce:

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Missouri website design projects that require a custom designed template, but are working on a limited budget. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce theme is a good starting point for Missouri WooCommerce web developments. Theme development for Missouri ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
• We recommend WooCommerce for Missouri small businesses with an existing WordPress site. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redoing that website just to add ecommerce?
• We recommend WooCommerce for Missouri web firms who prefer open-source software. 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 Missouri organizations that require a product builder. It's easier to build a product builder on WordPress than most other platforms. However, there are apps for Missouri web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
• We recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

Missouri Shopify Web Design Packages

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce site using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Missouri.

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

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

• Missouri merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. If you want to run an ecommerce business in Missouri, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
• We recommend Shopify for Missouri 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 Missouri ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. 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.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Websites

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

You should approach Missouri ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. You can lose search rankings and sales if your Missouri ecommerce web developer forgets to create 301 redirects, changes your URL structure drastically, or reorganizes your product catalog.

Missouri ecommerce website makeover starts with a thorough review of your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. Here are some of the important factors to consider when redesigning Missouri ecommerce websites:

• How do people reach your Missouri 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 is also advisable to maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Missouri website.
• What do customers think about your Missouri website? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the website then it is okay to make big changes. Consider being more conservative with design modifications if your conversion rates are already good.
• Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? If so, understand the new Missouri website will function differently than your previous website. The way you enter products, fulfill orders, update customer information, and go through the checkout will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Missouri Ecommerce Website Development Service

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Missouri. Before hiring a local ecommerce web developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Missouri ecommerce website development service. This will help keep you on track during the design of your ecommerce site, and set measurable goals for later. Here are some of the goals we've seen for Missouri ecommerce web design projects:

• To build out an online website for a new Missouri ecommerce venture.
• To migrate an legacy Missouri ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
• To redesign an existing Missouri ecommerce website in the same platform to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• To improve the speed and responsiveness of the shopping experience.
• To fix web accessibility issues for ADA and WCAG compliance.

We've provided such Missouri ecommerce web development solutions before and are excited by the prospect of helping with your new ecommerce website development! Let us help you put together a list of goals for your ecommerce website if your Missouri ecommerce company needs help!

Questions to Ask Your Missouri Ecommerce Website Designer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce development agency in Missouri. While the answer will be valuable, even more important to you should be the manner in which the answer is given. Pay attention to whether the sales team is willing to answer detailed questions. If you do this now, you'll get an idea of what to expect in future communication. Here are some common ecommerce website development questions we get asked by ecommerce businesses in and around Missouri:

• Do you outsource ecommerce web design services? WebCitz does not outsource ecommerce development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Missouri ecommerce 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 do create 301 redirects for Missouri ecommerce website developments that will have a different URL structure.
• Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web design? For Missouri WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Missouri ecommerce website design.
• Do you help Missouri company owners select the platform for their ecommerce website? WebCitz does help Missouri businesses select the platform for their ecommerce website. The answer is typically dependent upon the web development and ecommerce functionality requirements.
• How quick is the turnaround time for Missouri ecommerce web development services? WebCitz usually gets Missouri ecommerce website development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
• Does your Missouri ecommerce web designer have a design portfolio or client reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce website design portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!

How We Design the Best Missouri Ecommerce Stores

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

1.) Multiple Discovery Phone Calls

There are usually multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Missouri small business, your history with ecommerce, 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.

2.) Kickoff Meeting

If you feel confident about our ecommerce web design agency for your Missouri website development, go ahead and sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule your 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

If your future Missouri ecommerce web 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 helps everyone agree on the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts working on it. If you've chosen a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you pick a theme for your Missouri ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Website Development

The longest phase of your Missouri ecommerce build will be the development process. This includes everything for data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and much 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!)

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

We've been working on our Missouri ecommerce web 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!
