The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Montana Website

If your Montana 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 Montana-area websites.

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

Montana WooCommerce Web Development Services

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

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers tend to recommend 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 Montana WooCommerce websites. Theme development for Montana ecommerce clients is usually more expensive on Shopify.
  • If your Montana business already has a WordPress site, we recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money rebuilding it just to add ecommerce?
  • The web firms in Montana who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce, except the website 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.
  • Most Montana companies that want a product builder should consider WooCommerce. It's easier to build a product builder on WordPress than most other platforms. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Montana websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
  • WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

Montana Shopify Website Design Services

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

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

Our ecommerce website developers love Shopify for these reasons:

  • For Montana merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. If you want to run an ecommerce business in Montana, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
  • When Montana web agencies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than 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 Montana small businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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.

5 Ways to Grow Your Ecommerce Business

Montana Ecommerce Website Developers

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Websites

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

You should approach Montana ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. It's possible to lose search placements and online sales if your website developer 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 overhaul in Montana. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when remaking Montana ecommerce sites:

  • You have an ecommerce website in Montana. 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's also good to keep the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Montana website.
  • What do customers think of your Montana website? Making big changes to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. It's advisable to be cautious with design tweaks if you've already got good conversion rates.
  • Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? It will work different than your old website, if that's the case. You'll have to be prepared to change how you enter products, fill out orders, update customer info, and checkout.

Determine Goals for Your Montana Ecommerce Web Design Service

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

  • To build out an online store for a new Montana small business.
  • Upgrade an old Montana ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
  • To redo an ecommerce website to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
  • Improving the shopping experience by making it faster and more responsive.
  • To fix web accessibility issues for ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your Montana Ecommerce Web Designer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce development company in Montana. 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 Montana ecommerce website development service starts up. Here are a few of the ecommerce web design questions we get from businesses in and around Montana:

  • Is your ecommerce website design outsourced? WebCitz doesn't outsource ecommerce development because we have our own Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Montana website.
  • If you change URLs, do you set up 301 redirects? WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, but this is often not possible during platform migrations. We create 301 redirects for Montana ecommerce web designs that have different URL structures.
  • When you start an ecommerce development project, do you make design mockups? For Montana WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Montana ecommerce web development.
  • Can you help Montana organization owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps companies pick the right platform for their ecommerce websites. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
  • How quick is the turnaround time for Montana ecommerce web development services? WebCitz usually gets Montana ecommerce website development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
  • Have you seen your Montana ecommerce web designer's past work or recent reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce development portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!

How We Design the Best Montana Ecommerce Sites

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

1.) Discovery Phone Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Montana business, your ecommerce history, your development expectations, and your future plans. Having everyone involved in the ecommerce project voice their opinion helps minimize confusion.

2.) Kickoff Discussion

When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce website design firm for your Montana website development, sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule a 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 delivery time will be for completion.

3.) Design Mockups or Template Selection

We'll start with mockups for your Montana 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 Montana ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Website Development

The development phase of your Montana ecommerce build will be the longest. It includes data migration, template 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!)

As soon as the ecommerce development project is finished, we'll provide you with any training you need. We'll schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Montana ecommerce storefront once you're comfortable managing it. You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

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

WebCitz designed our Alo Health website and did such a great job of walking us step-by-step through the process, knowing the tech world was not a strength of ours. We love that we are able to change content whenever we want, but if we run into problems, they are a quick email away. They have been responsive, reliable and efficient. Thanks, WebCitz!

WebCitz helped the Oshkosh Area Humane Society with our new website and they were great to work with. Responsive, professional and affordable. I think the biggest perk for us was having someone local we could talk to for assistance instead of long wait times. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to start up or revamp their website.
Southwest Radio Church

Southwest Radio Church

What can I say about this company? These people that work there? Unbelievable!! It doesn't matter when or why you call, they will help you. The other part of that statement is: I never have to call them! They made a web site for us that works 24/7. But if I do call they actually take care of it right then. ... great bunch of guys...Southwest Radio Church really appreciates you!!

Corey was extremely helpful and spent a considerable amount of time going over my difficulties with a newly created website put together by someone else. I was under a very stressful deadline and he was extremely considerate and helpful. He managed to fix the problems that I was experiencing with my website. I had reached out to a number of website developers for help but only heard back from Webcity and Corey got back to me within minutes!
