Pricing for Portsmouth, NH Ecommerce Website Design Tactics

We determine the cost of our ecommerce web development services based on the amount of time you have available for the development of your online store.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Portsmouth Website

If your Portsmouth 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 Portsmouth-area websites.

To deliver exceptional ecommerce development services in Portsmouth, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our nearby ecommerce website developers specialize in their own preferred ecommerce platforms.

Portsmouth WooCommerce Website Design Packages

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

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers like WooCommerce:

  • If you need a custom theme, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. We have our own custom WooCommerce template that is based on Understrap and makes a great starting point for Portsmouth WooCommerce websites. Shopify template development can be more expensive for Portsmouth ecommerce clients.
  • We recommend WooCommerce for Portsmouth small 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?
  • The web companies in Portsmouth who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
  • Most Portsmouth small businesses that want a product builder should consider WooCommerce. It's easier to build a product builder on WordPress than most other platforms. However, there are apps for Portsmouth web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
  • We recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

Portsmouth Shopify Website Development Services

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

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

  • We recommend Shopify for Portsmouth merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Portsmouth without the hassle of constantly updating plugins or software versions.
  • When Portsmouth web companies 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 versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
  • The best ecommerce platform for Portsmouth 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.

Questions to Ask Your Portsmouth Ecommerce Website Developer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce web design company in Portsmouth. 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. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the Portsmouth ecommerce web development service starts up. Here are a few of the ecommerce website development questions we get from businesses in and around New Hampshire:

  • Are you outsourcing ecommerce web design? WebCitz does not outsource ecommerce development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Portsmouth 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 create 301 redirects for Portsmouth ecommerce website developments that have different URL structures.
  • When you start an ecommerce web design project, do you make design mockups? WebCitz makes design mockups for all Portsmouth WooCommerce development projects, but we don't create design mockups for Shopify projects that are on a restricted budget.
  • Do you help Portsmouth small business owners select the platform for their ecommerce website? WebCitz does help Portsmouth customers select the platform for their ecommerce website. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
  • How quick is the turnaround time for Portsmouth ecommerce development services? WebCitz typically completes most Portsmouth-area ecommerce web development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex ecommerce websites.

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!

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!!

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.
