Pricing for Pennsylvania Ecommerce Website Design Packages

Our pricing for ecommerce web development services is based on how much time you can invest in building your online store. To save money, we advise those with limited budgets to consider template-based ecommerce websites as an alternative. If you value customization and performance highly, you could opt for a custom ecommerce website created from the ground up, beginning with a design mockup.

The Best Ecommerce Platform for Your Pennsylvania Website

If your Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania organizations.

For WooCommerce and Shopify projects, we have separate development teams. We can provide expert advice and service because our local ecommerce web developers specialize in their own most liked ecommerce platforms.

Pennsylvania WooCommerce Web Design Services

WordPress is the most popular content management system in Pennsylvania. To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you will likely be searching for a WooCommerce website developer in Pennsylvania.

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

Here's why our ecommerce web designers love WooCommerce:

  • If you need a custom theme, but have a limited budget, we recommend WordPress or WooCommerce. We have our own internally developed WooCommerce template, based on Understrap, which is a great starting point for a custom-designed Pennsylvania WooCommerce web site. Theme development for Pennsylvania ecommerce customers is usually more expensive on Shopify.
  • If your Pennsylvania small business already has a WordPress site, we recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money remaking your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
  • The web companies in Pennsylvania who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce, just for web hosting. If you want to use Shopify, you might have to pay a lot of money for the platform, and their apps are often a lot more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
  • For Pennsylvania businesses that need a product builder, we recommend WooCommerce. It is simply easier to develop a custom product builder in WordPress than most other platforms. However, there are apps for Pennsylvania web companies running Shopify that offer product configurators.
  • WooCommerce is good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

Pennsylvania Shopify Web Development Packages

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website designer in Pennsylvania.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

  • For Pennsylvania merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Pennsylvania without constantly updating plugins and software.
  • For Pennsylvania web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we recommend Shopify. It's more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
  • Shopify is a great option for Pennsylvania ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It's faster to test out a new product on a Shopify website and cycle through different apps and ideas for conversion optimization.

5 Ways to Grow Your Ecommerce Business

Pennsylvania Ecommerce Website Developers

Redoing Existing Ecommerce Sites

Pennsylvania ecommerce sites that don't perform, don't function, or don't convert well might need a refresh.

Every Pennsylvania ecommerce redesign project deserves exceptional care. It's possible to lose search placements and online sales if your website developer forgets to create 301 redirects, completely restructures your URLs, or improperly reorganizes your product catalog.

We like to know your whole business before we start an ecommerce website refresh in Pennsylvania. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when redesigning Pennsylvania ecommerce sites:

  • Where can people find your Pennsylvania ecommerce site? If most online sales are coming from organic search traffic it will be critical to maintain URL structures or implement 301 redirects. Maintain the same product categories, breadcrumb trails, and content throughout the development of your Pennsylvania website.
  • How do customers like your Pennsylvania site? Making big changes to your website is okay if your online shoppers aren't happy. If your conversion rates are already good, maybe you should consider being more conservative with design updates.
  • Do you plan to migrate your ecommerce platform? It will work different than your old website, if that's the case. Things like entering products, fulfilling orders, updating customer info, and going through check out will be different.

Determine Goals for Your Pennsylvania Ecommerce Web Development Package

You can pay a lot of money to build an ecommerce website in Pennsylvania. You should make a list of the goals you'd like to see achieved by a Pennsylvania ecommerce developer before you hire them. Keeping track of measurable goals will help you keep your ecommerce website progressing in the right direction. We've seen these goals for Pennsylvania ecommerce website development projects:

  • To build out an online store for a new Pennsylvania business.
  • To migrate an old Pennsylvania ecommerce website to a new platform to improve functionality, or website security.
  • To redesign an existing Pennsylvania ecommerce website in the same platform to improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversion rates.
  • To make shopping faster and the website more responsive.
  • For ADA and WCAG compliance.

Our Pennsylvania ecommerce web development services have helped other businesses before, so we're excited to help with your new ecommerce website! If your Pennsylvania ecommerce company needs help putting together a list of goals for your ecommerce site just reach out to our team for assistance!

Questions to Ask Your Pennsylvania Ecommerce Web Designer

You should ask plenty of questions before hiring an ecommerce website design firm in Pennsylvania. Even though the answer is important, how it's delivered is more important. Check to see how receptive the sales team is to detailed questions. You'll get a good idea for how things will be when the Pennsylvania ecommerce web development service starts up. Here are a few of the ecommerce website development questions we get from businesses in and around Pennsylvania:

  • 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 Pennsylvania ecommerce website.
  • 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 create 301 redirects for Pennsylvania ecommerce website developments that have different URL structures.
  • Do you create design mockups before starting a new ecommerce web design project? For Pennsylvania WooCommerce development, WebCitz creates design mockups. But for Shopify, we only create design mockups if the budget is high enough for a fully custom Pennsylvania ecommerce website design.
  • Can you help Pennsylvania company owners choose the right platform for their ecommerce site? WebCitz helps Pennsylvania businesses choose the right ecommerce platform. Generally, the answer depends on your website design and ecommerce needs.
  • Can you tell me how fast Pennsylvania ecommerce web design works? WebCitz usually gets most Pennsylvania-area ecommerce sites up and running within 3-4 months, but it can take up to 9-12 months for complicated ones.
  • Your Pennsylvania ecommerce developer should have a ecommerce portfolio or client reviews. WebCitz has an ecommerce web development portfolio, numerous ecommerce case studies, and dozens of client reviews to share!

How We Design the Best Pennsylvania Ecommerce Storefronts

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

1.) Discovery Phone Calls

In a discovery call, we learn about your Pennsylvania small business, your ecommerce history, your development expectations, and your future plans. Having everyone involved in the ecommerce project voice their opinion helps minimize confusion.

2.) Kickoff Conversation

If you feel confident about our ecommerce development agency for your Pennsylvania website development, go ahead and sign the proposal, submit 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

We'll start with mockups for your Pennsylvania ecommerce development if it's built in WordPress with WooCommerce or if your budget allows a custom design built in Shopify. 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. If you've chosen a template-based approach within Shopify, this is the phase where we start helping you pick a theme for your Pennsylvania ecommerce site.

4.) Ecommerce Web Design

The longest part of your Pennsylvania ecommerce build will be the development. It includes data migration, theme customization, functionality development, and more! A password-protected development website lets you follow along.

5.) Training & Launch

When the ecommerce web development project is nearly done, we'll start working with you on training. When you are comfortable managing the ecommerce website, we'll schedule a time that works for everyone involved to launch your future Pennsylvania ecommerce storefront! We can even share a checklist for launching the ecommerce website if you're interested!

We've been improving this Pennsylvania ecommerce web design process for more than 18 years. We have incredible experience designing, developing, and launching successful ecommerce websites throughout the United States!

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.
