The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Milford Website

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

To deliver exceptional ecommerce website development services in Milford, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. This allows our local ecommerce web designers to specialize in a particular development environment to provide expert advice and service.

Milford WooCommerce Web Design Services

WordPress is the most popular content management system for Milford websites. If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce web designer in Milford.

In Milford, we help startups and e-commerce businesses get started with WooCommerce.

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

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Milford web design projects that require a custom designed theme, but are working on a limited budget. We have our own internally developed WooCommerce theme, based on Understrap, which is a great starting point for a custom-designed Milford WooCommerce web site. Shopify theme development can be more expensive for Milford e-commerce clients.
• We recommend WooCommerce for Milford businesses with an existing WordPress website. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• We recommend WooCommerce for Milford web companies 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. Alternatively, Shopify has high monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often much more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• For Milford 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. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Milford websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• We recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

Milford Shopify Web Design Services

Shopify is the most popular SaaS e-commerce platform. To run an e-commerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify website designer in Milford.

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

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

• We recommend Shopify for Milford merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Milford without the hassle of constantly updating plugins or software versions.
• For Milford web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we recommend Shopify. 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.
• We recommend Shopify for Milford e-commerce 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 strategies.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Websites

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

You should approach Milford e-commerce redesign projects with exceptional care. For instance, you may lose search rankings and online sales if your Milford ecommerce website developer forgets to create 301 redirects, drastically changes your URL structure, or reorganizes your product catalog.

Before starting Milford e-commerce website redesign projects, we like to thoroughly review your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. Here are some of the important factors to consider when redesigning Milford ecommerce websites:

• How do people reach your Milford e-commerce website? 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 Milford website.
• What do customers think about your Milford website? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the website then it is okay to make big changes. If your conversion rates are already good, maybe you should consider being more conservative with design changes.
• Are you moving your e-commerce platform? If so, understand the new Milford 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 Milford Ecommerce Web Design Service

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce site in Milford. Before hiring a local ecommerce website designer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the Milford ecommerce development service. This will help keep you on track throughout the design of your e-commerce website, and set measurable objectives for later. The most common goals we've seen for Milford ecommerce website design projects include:

• To build out an online website for a new Milford e-commerce venture.
• To migrate an legacy Milford ecommerce systems into a new platform to improve functionality or website security.
• To redesign an e-commerce site to improve user experience (UX), reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.

Questions to Ask Your Milford Ecommerce Web Designer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce website development firm in Milford. While the answer will be valuable, even more important to you should be the manner in which the answer is given. Pay attention to how receptive the sales team is to being asked detailed questions. This will provide insight into future communication as the Milford ecommerce development service gets started. Here are some common ecommerce web development questions we get asked by e-commerce businesses in and around New Hampshire:

• Do you outsource ecommerce website development services? WebCitz doesn't outsource ecommerce web design because we have our own Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Milford website.
• If you change URLs, do you set up 301 redirects? While WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, sometimes it can't be done. We do create 301 redirects for Milford ecommerce website designs that will have a different URL structure.
• Do you create design mockups before starting a new ecommerce website design project? WebCitz makes design mockups for all Milford WooCommerce development projects, but we don't create design mockups for Shopify projects that are on a restricted budget.
• Do you help Milford business owners select the platform for their e-commerce website? WebCitz does help Milford clients select the platform for their ecommerce website. The answer is typically dependent upon the web design and ecommerce functionality requirements.
• How quick is the turnaround time for Milford ecommerce development services? WebCitz typically completes most Milford-area ecommerce web development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex e-commerce websites.
• Your Milford ecommerce website developer should have a ecommerce portfolio or client reviews. Check out our ecommerce web design portfolio, ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews!

How We Design the Best Milford Ecommerce Websites

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

Multiple Discovery Calls

There are typically multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Milford company, your history with ecommerce, your development expectations, and your future goals. 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.

Kickoff Meeting

When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce development company for your Milford website development, sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule a kick off 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.

Design Mockups or Template Search

If your future Milford 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 allows everyone to be on the same page regarding the look and feel of your website before an e-commerce developer starts the build process. This is where we start helping you select a theme for your Milford ecommerce site if you opted for a template-based approach within Shopify.

Ecommerce Web Development

The longest phase of your Milford 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.

Website Training & Launch

When the ecommerce website development project is nearly done, we'll start working with you on training. If you're comfortable with managing the e-commerce site, let's schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Milford e-commerce site! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce site if you're interested!
