Custom WooCommerce Development Company
We are a custom WooCommerce web design agency with more than 19 years of experience helping ecommerce businesses launch great storefronts.
To design and build awesome WooCommerce websites, we rely on our own in-house team of WooCommerce experts. We never outsource web design or web development projects, which means the people on the phone are the same ones developing your WooCommerce site!
As a full-service WooCommerce agency, we have graphic designers, ecommerce developers, custom programmers, and digital marketers ready to take your project from start to finish.
Read on to learn more about our custom WooCommerce development services.
Our WooCommerce Development Services
Next is choosing how your WooCommerce development services will be started - through a template, or custom design.
1.) Template-based WooCommerce website design
The most cost-effective way to build a new WooCommerce store is to start with a pre-made website template.
There are thousands of WooCommerce themes available. Most even have an online demo to let you see the design before making your choice. Don't worry though, we'll help you find one that fits your brand!
There are a few downsides to using a pre-made website template, which include:
- Templates are often developed to include dozens of style and layout options, of which you'll only ever use one. This leads to a bloated codebase, which could negatively impact page speed and your ability to pass Google's Core Web Vitals.
- Templates are often maintained by their original developers, who may eventually stop releasing security fixes or feature improvements to the packages within the theme.
- Templates are often hastily designed and developed, leading to mobile layout issues or browser compatibility issues that must be addressed by your WooCommerce web design company.
These projects start at $6,000, and increase in price with product data and functionality requirements.
2.) Custom WooCommerce website design
If you aren't interested in a website template, we can build you a custom theme within WooCommerce, instead. This is a common service of any custom WooCommerce website design agency.
This involves going through the process of creating design mockups that fit the unique look and feel of your branding.
Taking this approach to WooCommerce development allows you to see the design come together before our ecommerce web developers build out your website.
However, WooCommerce custom theme development is time consuming and results in a higher cost for your ecommerce store.
These projects start at $24,000, and increase in price with product data and functionality requirements.
A Few of Our WooCommerce Developers
Pricing for WooCommerce Development Services
The cost of our WooCommerce web design services is based on the amount of time you can afford to allocate toward the development of your online store. If you are on a tight budget, we recommend you look at a template-based WooCommerce website to save money. Alternatively, if customization and performance are of high priority, you could instead consider a from-scratch custom WooCommerce website that starts with a design mockup.
WooCommerce Website Development Cost Calculator
Answer a few simple questions about your project and our WooCommerce website cost calculator will recommend a budget for your WooCommerce development. For a custom quote, just call 800-796-8263 or send us an email.
For template-based WooCommerce developments, expect to see quotes between $6,000 and $12,000. If you need a from-scratch design, extensive functionality, or complex data migration the quote will be much higher.

If your ecommerce functionality or data migration requirements are far outside the default capabilities of WooCommerce it would be prudent to discover that now.
Our WooCommerce development agency can help you understand the scope of your ecommerce migration project before you make any decisions.
There are numerous factors to consider during a WooCommerce development service, including:
- To what extent will product, customer, and order data need to be migrated?
- What functionality does your existing website have that is missing from WooCommerce?
- How prepared are you for URL changes and 301 redirects?
- Do you have experience utilizing WordPress and WooCommerce admin functionality?
- If you have highly complex product data, will it be manageable within WooCommerce?
- How will the launch of your new WooCommerce development be coordinated, and will you need access to the old ecommerce store?

WooCommerce FAQs
What is WooCommerce?
WooCommerce is an open-source e-commerce plugin for the content management system (CMS) WordPress. It allows users to easily create and manage an online store, including product listings, payments, and shipping options. WooCommerce is built on top of WordPress, and as a result, it can be easily integrated with other WordPress plugins and themes. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for small and medium-sized online businesses who already have a WordPress website.
How does a custom WooCommerce design differ from a template-based design?
A custom WooCommerce design is crafted from the ground up, tailored to your store's unique requirements and vision. A template-based design utilizes a pre-existing WooCommerce theme, which is then customized to match your branding and content. Developing an ecommerce store from a template is typically quicker and more cost-effective.
Will my template-based WooCommerce site look like many others stores?
The customization of the template to match your branding (logo, colors, content, images, products, etc) often results in a unique look and feel, specific to your store.
How much input can I have in the design process?
Your input is invaluable to us. Whether you opt for a custom design or a template-based development, we collaborate closely with you to ensure the final site aligns with your expectations and goals. Please understand a template-based WooCommerce development will have limitations, both from working within the confines of the theme and a reduced development budget.
How long does the WooCommerce design and development process usually take?
Template-based WooCommerce designs can be completed within a few weeks, depending on the extent of theme customization and store functionality. Custom WooCommerce designs generally take a month to a few months, depending on the project's complexity.
Are the WooCommerce sites you design mobile-friendly?
Absolutely! Every WooCommerce store we design is responsive, ensuring a seamless browsing experience on tablets, smartphones, and desktops. For the most part, custom designed WooCommerce sites have better responsiveness across a wider range of screen sizes.
Will my WooCommerce site be SEO-friendly?
Yes, we integrate several ecommerce SEO best practices throughout our design and development process. Plus, WordPress has a wide range of SEO plugins that can further optimize your store for search engines. SEO is not a one-time service though. If ranking in search results is important to you, please be prepared to have a monthly budget available for technical, on-page, and off-page WooCommerce SEO services.
Do you offer ongoing support and maintenance post-launch?
Yes, we offer WooCommerce maintenance and management services to ensure your storefront remains updated, secure, and optimized. This includes regular updates, backups, and technical support!
Can you showcase some WooCommerce sites you've previously designed?
Certainly! We're proud of our portfolio and can show you a variety of WooCommerce sites we've designed across different industries, catering to both custom and template-based requirements.
Can you customize and extend the functionality of WooCommerce?
Yes, we have a team of on-site WordPress and WooCommerce developers skilled in creating custom website functionality.
Can you provide training and support for using WooCommerce?
Yes, we are happy to help you learn how to use WooCommerce to create products, process orders, and perform routine website changes.
