Pricing for North Carolina Ecommerce Web Development Packages

Our ecommerce web design service pricing depends on the amount of time you have available to dedicate to developing your online store. For those on a tight budget, we suggest exploring template-based ecommerce websites to save money. If customization and performance are crucial factors, you might want to consider a custom ecommerce website built from scratch, starting with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your North Carolina Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your North Carolina ecommerce company we will need to talk with you about your website's objectives. There is no single ecommerce platform that is perfect for all North Carolina-area websites.

To deliver exceptional ecommerce web development services in North Carolina, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce web designers specialize in their own favorite ecommerce platforms.

North Carolina WooCommerce Website Development Services

The most popular North Carolina website content management system is WordPress. If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce web designer in North Carolina.

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for North Carolina web development projects that require a custom designed template, but are working on a limited budget. We have our own internally developed WooCommerce theme, based on Understrap, which is a good starting point for a custom-designed North Carolina WooCommerce web site. Theme development within Shopify is often more expensive for North Carolina ecommerce clients.
• If your North Carolina small 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 redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• We recommend WooCommerce for North Carolina web agencies who prefer open-source software. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce, except the website hosting fee to keep the site 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 North Carolina businesses 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. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for North Carolina websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

North Carolina Shopify Website Development Services

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify web designer in North Carolina.

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

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

• For North Carolina merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. If you want to run an ecommerce business in North Carolina, you don't have to worry about constantly updating plugins or software.
• We recommend Shopify for North Carolina web firms 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.
• The best ecommerce platform for North Carolina businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing is Shopify. 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.

Rebuilding Existing Ecommerce Storefronts

If you are unhappy with the performance, functionality, or conversion rate of your North Carolina ecommerce website it might be time to think about a remake of your site.

You should approach North Carolina ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. For instance, you may lose search rankings and online sales if your North Carolina ecommerce web designer forgets to create 301 redirects, drastically changes your URL structure, or reorganizes your product catalog.

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

• You have an ecommerce website in North Carolina. 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. Maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and content throughout the development of your North Carolina website.
• What do customers think of your North Carolina website? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the website then it is okay to make big tweaks. If your conversion rates are already good, maybe you should consider being more conservative with design changes.
• Are you migrating ecommerce platforms? 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 North Carolina Ecommerce Website Design Package

Building out an ecommerce website in North Carolina can be an expensive project. Before hiring a local ecommerce website developer, you should put together a list of goals you'd like to see achieved through the North Carolina ecommerce web design service. This will help keep you on track throughout the design of your ecommerce website, and set measurable objectives for later. We've seen these goals for North Carolina ecommerce development projects:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your North Carolina-based company.
• Upgrade an old North Carolina 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.
• To make shopping faster and the website more responsive.
• To fix web accessibility problems for ADA and WCAG compliance.

We've provided such North Carolina ecommerce website development solutions before and are excited by the prospect of helping with your new ecommerce web design!

Questions to Ask Your North Carolina Ecommerce Web Developer

There are numerous questions to ask your North Carolina ecommerce website development agency before making a hiring decision. 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 North Carolina ecommerce website design service starts up. We get asked these ecommerce development questions a lot by North Carolina ecommerce businesses:

• Is your ecommerce web development outsourced? WebCitz doesn't outsource ecommerce website development because we have our own Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your North Carolina website.
• When the URLs change, do you create 301 redirects? WebCitz tries to keep the URL structure the same, but this is often not feasible during platform migrations. We do create 301 redirects for North Carolina ecommerce web developments that will have a different URL structure.
• Do you create design mockups before starting a new ecommerce website development project? WebCitz creates design mockups for all North Carolina WooCommerce developments, but we only create a design mockup for Shopify projects that have a higher budget for a fully custom North Carolina ecommerce web design.
• Can you help North Carolina small business owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps customers pick the right platform for their ecommerce websites. The answer is typically dependent upon the web design and ecommerce functionality requirements.
• How quick is the delivery time for North Carolina ecommerce web design services? WebCitz typically completes most North Carolina-area ecommerce development projects within 3-4 months, but they can take up to 9-12 months for highly complex ecommerce websites.

How We Design the Best North Carolina Ecommerce Websites

You should expect North Carolina ecommerce website design firms to have a formal process for how a new ecommerce website will be developed. Here is our process for designing North Carolina ecommerce websites:

1.) Multiple Discovery Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your North Carolina small business, 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

When you're ready to move forward with our ecommerce web design agency for your North Carolina website development, sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule a 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 Mockups or Template Selection

If your future North Carolina 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 allows everyone to be on the same page regarding the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts the build process. Alternatively, if you selected a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you select a theme for your North Carolina ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Website Development

The development phase of your North Carolina ecommerce build will be the longest. 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 Training & Launch

As soon as the ecommerce web 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 North Carolina ecommerce site! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce site if you're interested!

We've been improving this North Carolina ecommerce web design process for more than 18 years. We've created, designed, developed, and launched successful ecommerce sites across the United States!
