Pricing for Staten Island, NY Ecommerce Web Development Solutions

We determine the cost of our ecommerce web design services based on the amount of time you have available for the development of your online store. If budget is a concern, we advise exploring a template-based ecommerce website as an affordable option. If your focus is on customization and performance, you may want to consider a fully customized ecommerce website that begins with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Staten Island Website

If your Staten Island ecommerce company needs a platform recommendation, we need to know what your website's goals are. There isn't one ecommerce platform that works for all Staten Island organizations.

To deliver amazing ecommerce web design services in Staten Island, we have different development teams for WooCommerce projects and Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce developers specialize in their own preferred ecommerce platforms.

Staten Island WooCommerce Website Design Packages

The most popular Staten Island website content management system is WordPress. When you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web developer in Staten Island.

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies get started with WooCommerce in Staten Island or other parts of United States.

Here's why our ecommerce web designers love WooCommerce:

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Staten Island 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 Staten Island WooCommerce web developments. Shopify theme development can be more expensive for Staten Island ecommerce customers.
• If your Staten Island organization website runs on WordPress, 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.
• The web companies in Staten Island 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. 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 Staten Island organizations that want a product builder should consider 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 Staten Island web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

Staten Island Shopify Web Design Tactics

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce site in Staten Island, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

With our Shopify web development company, we can design a website for a new or existing business in New York that runs on the Shopify platform.

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• We recommend Shopify for Staten Island merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce business in Staten Island, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
• When Staten Island web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we recommend Shopify. It's more expensive to develop custom functionality in 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 Staten Island small businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing is Shopify. 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 tactics.

Redoing Existing Ecommerce Sites

Staten Island ecommerce sites that don't perform, don't function, or don't convert well might need a web redesign.

Every Staten Island ecommerce website redesign project deserves exceptional care. You can lose search rankings and sales if your Staten Island ecommerce web designer forgets to create 301 redirects, changes your URL structure drastically, or reorganizes your product catalog.

We like to know your whole business before we start an ecommerce web redesign in Staten Island. You should consider these factors when rebuilding Staten Island ecommerce sites:

• You have an ecommerce site in Staten Island. How do people get there? If your online sales come mostly from organic search traffic, you'll need to maintain URL structures and use 301 redirects. Maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and content throughout the development of your Staten Island website.
• How do customers like your Staten Island site? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the website then it is okay to make big edits. Consider being more conservative with design changes if your conversion rates are already good.
• Are you moving your ecommerce platform? If so, you need to understand the new Staten Island website won't work like your old one did. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Staten Island Ecommerce Development Package

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce site in Staten Island. You should make a list of the goals you'd like to see achieved by a Staten Island ecommerce web designer before you hire them. This will help keep you on track during the design of your ecommerce site, and set measurable goals for later. We've seen these goals for Staten Island ecommerce website design projects:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your Staten Island-based company.
• Upgrade an old Staten Island ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
• Redesigning an ecommerce website in order to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• To make shopping faster and the website more responsive.
• For ADA and WCAG compliance.

Questions to Ask Your Staten Island Ecommerce Website Designer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce development agency in Staten Island. Even though the answer is important, how it's delivered is more important. Pay attention to whether the sales team is willing to answer detailed questions. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the Staten Island ecommerce web design service starts up. We get asked these ecommerce development questions a lot by New York ecommerce businesses:

• Is your ecommerce web development outsourced? At WebCitz, we don't outsource ecommerce website development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers.
• When the URLs change, do you create 301 redirects? It's hard to keep the URL structure the same during platform migrations, but WebCitz tries. We do create 301 redirects for Staten Island ecommerce web designs that will have a different URL structure.
• Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce website design? WebCitz makes design mockups for all Staten Island WooCommerce development projects, but we don't create design mockups for Shopify projects that are on a restricted budget.
• Are you able to help Staten Island companies choose an ecommerce platform? WebCitz helps Staten Island businesses choose the right ecommerce platform. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
• How quick is the turnaround time for Staten Island ecommerce development services? WebCitz usually gets Staten Island ecommerce web development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.

How We Design the Best Staten Island Ecommerce Sites

Efforts to design an ecommerce website in Staten Island should follow a formal process. Here's how we make Staten Island ecommerce websites:

1.) Multiple Discovery Phone Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Staten Island company, 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 Discussion

If you're happy with our ecommerce web development company for your Staten Island website development, just sign the proposal, pay a down payment, and schedule your kickoff call! There will be a chance for everyone involved in the project to have a discussion about how the project will unfold, who will be responsible for each stage of the design, and how long the turnaround time will be for each phase.

3.) Design Mockup or Theme Selection

If your future Staten Island ecommerce web development 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 site. This helps everyone agree on the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts working on it. This is where we start helping you select a theme for your Staten Island ecommerce website if you opted for a template-based approach within Shopify.

4.) Ecommerce Web Development

The longest part of your Staten Island ecommerce build will be the development. 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. If you're comfortable with managing the ecommerce site, let's schedule a time that works for everyone to launch your Staten Island ecommerce site! We can even share a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!
