Nova Scotia Ecommerce Web Design

Our Nova Scotia Ecommerce Website Development Packages

WebCitz was founded on the principle of providing custom web solutions throughout Nova Scotia and Canada. We have a strong history of working with local customers to understand their ecommerce business and deliver a custom Nova Scotia-area website unique to their online brand.

You'll be in good hands with our team when it comes to developing custom functionality for your Nova Scotia ecommerce site. We'll work with your Nova Scotia team to understand the functionality you need, outline the deliverables and delivery time, and make sure everything runs smoothly after the launch.

Pricing for Nova Scotia Ecommerce Web Design Services

Our ecommerce web development 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. In case you prioritize customization and performance, a custom ecommerce site designed from scratch might be a better option for you.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Nova Scotia Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Nova Scotia 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 Nova Scotia-area websites.

To deliver amazing ecommerce web design services in Nova Scotia, we have different development teams for WooCommerce projects and Shopify projects. This gives our ecommerce website designers the chance to specialize in particular development environments to provide expert advice and help.

Nova Scotia WooCommerce Website Development Services

The most popular Nova Scotia website content management system is WordPress. To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you will likely be searching for a WooCommerce website designer in Nova Scotia.

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

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

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Nova Scotia web design projects that require a custom designed theme, but are working on a limited budget. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce template is a great starting point for Nova Scotia WooCommerce website designs. Theme development within Shopify is often more expensive for Nova Scotia ecommerce clients.
• We recommend WooCommerce for Nova Scotia businesses with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for Nova Scotia web companies. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for website hosting. As an alternative, Shopify has expensive monthly fees (depending on your plan) and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• We recommend WooCommerce for most Nova Scotia businesses that require a product builder. It is simply easier to develop a custom product builder in WordPress than most other platforms. Don't worry though, there are third-party apps for Nova Scotia websites running Shopify that need a product configurator.
• We recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

Nova Scotia Shopify Website Design Services

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web developer in Nova Scotia.

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

Our ecommerce website designers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Nova Scotia merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Nova Scotia without constantly updating plugins and software.
• We recommend Shopify for Nova Scotia 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 that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• We recommend Shopify for Nova Scotia ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. It's faster to test out a new product on a Shopify website and cycle through different apps and ideas for conversion optimization.

Redesigning Existing Ecommerce Sites

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

You should approach Nova Scotia ecommerce redesign projects with exceptional care. You can lose search rankings and sales if your Nova Scotia ecommerce web developer forgets to create 301 redirects, changes your URL structure drastically, or reorganizes your product catalog.

Nova Scotia ecommerce website makeover starts with a thorough review of your ecommerce business to understand the big picture. You should consider these factors when redesigning Nova Scotia ecommerce sites:

• You have an ecommerce website in Nova Scotia. How do people get there? If most online sales are coming from organic search traffic it will be critical to maintain URL structures or implement 301 redirects. It is also advisable to maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and page content throughout the development of your Nova Scotia website.
• What do customers think about your Nova Scotia website? If your online shoppers aren't happy with the design of the site then it is okay to make big modifications. Consider being more conservative with design updates if your conversion rates are already good.
• Are you migrating ecommerce platforms? If so, understand the new Nova Scotia website will function differently than your previous website. You'll have to be prepared to change how you enter products, fill out orders, update customer info, and checkout.

Determine Goals for Your Nova Scotia Ecommerce Web Design Service

Building out an ecommerce website in Nova Scotia 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 Nova Scotia ecommerce web design service. This will help keep you on track during the design of your ecommerce site, and set measurable goals for later. Here are some of the goals we've seen for Nova Scotia ecommerce website design projects:

• Create a new ecommerce website for your Nova Scotia-based company.
• Upgrade an old Nova Scotia ecommerce system into a new one to improve security or functionality.
• To redesign an existing Nova Scotia ecommerce website in the same platform to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
• To improve the speed and responsiveness of the shopping experience.
• To fix web accessibility issues for ADA and WCAG compliance.

We've provided such Nova Scotia ecommerce web development solutions before and are excited by the prospect of helping with your new ecommerce website development! Let us help you put together a list of goals for your ecommerce website if your Nova Scotia ecommerce company needs help!

Questions to Ask Your Nova Scotia Ecommerce Website Designer

There are numerous questions to ask your Nova Scotia ecommerce 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 whether the sales team is willing to answer detailed questions. If you do this now, you'll get an idea of what to expect in future communication. We get asked these ecommerce website development questions a lot by Nova Scotia ecommerce businesses:

• Is your ecommerce web design outsourced? WebCitz does not outsource ecommerce development services because we have our own team of Shopify and WooCommerce developers for your Nova Scotia 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 do create 301 redirects for Nova Scotia ecommerce website developments that will have a different URL structure.
• Do you make design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web design? WebCitz creates design mockups for all Nova Scotia WooCommerce developments, but we only create a design mockup for Shopify projects that have a higher budget for a fully custom Nova Scotia ecommerce website design.
• Do you help Nova Scotia company owners select the platform for their ecommerce website? WebCitz helps businesses pick the right platform for their ecommerce websites. Typically, the answer is based on the website design and ecommerce requirements.
• Can you tell me how fast Nova Scotia ecommerce web design works? WebCitz usually gets Nova Scotia ecommerce development projects done in 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complex ecommerce websites.
• Does your Nova Scotia ecommerce web developer have a design portfolio or client reviews? WebCitz has an ecommerce website development portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews to share!

How We Design the Best Nova Scotia Ecommerce Websites

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

1.) Multiple Discovery Phone Calls

There are usually multiple discovery calls to learn more about your Nova Scotia small business, your history with ecommerce, 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 feel confident about our ecommerce web design agency for your Nova Scotia website development, go ahead and sign the proposal, submit a down payment, and schedule your kickoff call! This will be an opportunity for everyone involved in the project to have discussions about how the project will unfold, who will be responsible for each phase of the design, and anticipated turnaround times for each element of the project.

3.) Design Mockups or Template Search

If your future Nova Scotia 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 helps everyone agree on the look and feel of your website before an ecommerce developer starts working on it. Alternatively, if you selected a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you select a theme for your Nova Scotia ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Website Development

The development phase of your Nova Scotia ecommerce build will be the longest. Data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and more! A password-protected development website lets you follow along.

5.) Website Launch (Plus Website Training!)

Once the ecommerce web development project is close to completion, we'll start working with you to provide any necessary training. When you are comfortable managing the ecommerce website, we'll schedule a time that works for everyone involved to launch your future Nova Scotia ecommerce storefront! You can even get a checklist for launching the ecommerce site if you're interested!

We've been working on our Nova Scotia ecommerce web design process for more than 18 years. We've created, designed, developed, and launched successful ecommerce sites across Canada!
