Pricing for Thunder Bay, ON Ecommerce Website Development Solutions

The cost of our ecommerce website design services is based on the amount of time you can afford to allocate toward the development of your online store.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Thunder Bay Website

To recommend the best ecommerce platform for your Thunder Bay ecommerce company we will need to talk with you about your website's objectives. There isn't one ecommerce platform that works for all Thunder Bay small businesses.

To deliver exceptional ecommerce web design services in Thunder Bay, we have separate development teams for WooCommerce projects than for Shopify projects. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce web developers specialize in their own most liked ecommerce platforms.

Thunder Bay WooCommerce Web Design Plans

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

In Thunder Bay, we help startups and ecommerce businesses get started with WooCommerce.

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

• We recommend WordPress and WooCommerce for Thunder Bay website design projects that need a custom theme, but are on a budget. Based on Understrap, our own WooCommerce template is a great starting point for Thunder Bay WooCommerce website developments. Shopify theme development can be more expensive for Thunder Bay ecommerce customers.
• If your Thunder Bay organization 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 Thunder Bay web companies 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. 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 Thunder Bay businesses that require a product builder. 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 Thunder Bay web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

Thunder Bay Shopify Website Design Tactics

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Thunder Bay.

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

Our ecommerce website developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Thunder Bay merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Thunder Bay without constantly updating plugins and software.
• For Thunder Bay web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, 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 Thunder Bay 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 strategies.

Determine Goals for Your Thunder Bay Ecommerce Website Development Service
