This is a common question! The right platform depends on your specific needs. Shopify is great for beginners with its user-friendly interface and built-in tools. WooCommerce works well if you already have a WordPress site and want more flexibility. Magento offers powerful features for larger catalogs but requires more technical knowledge. Rather than overwhelming you with options, we'll learn about your business, products, budget, and growth plans first, then recommend the best fit. We'll explain the pros and cons in plain language so you can make a confident decision without needing to become a tech expert yourself.

E-commerce website costs vary based on your needs, similar to how houses range from basic to luxury. A straightforward store with standard features typically costs between $15,000-$30,000. More complex stores with custom features, integrations with other business systems, or specialized functionality can range from $30,000-$75,000+. Beyond the initial build, you'll also have ongoing costs like hosting (typically $20-$300/month), platform subscription fees if applicable, and maintenance. We're transparent about all costs upfront and can work with various budgets by prioritizing features that will give you the best return on investment.

Most e-commerce projects take 8-12 weeks from our first meeting to launching your store. Simpler stores might be ready in 6-8 weeks, while more complex ones with custom features or large product catalogs could take 12-16 weeks. The timeline includes strategy development, design, development, adding your products, testing, and training you on how to use your new store. We'll create a clear schedule at the beginning of the project so you'll know exactly what to expect and when, with regular updates throughout the process.

Absolutely! We help many businesses improve existing stores that aren't generating enough sales. We'll start with a comprehensive audit to identify issues—whether they're related to design, user experience, site speed, mobile responsiveness, checkout process, or something else. We can either make targeted improvements to your current store or, if necessary, rebuild on a more suitable platform. We also offer conversion rate optimization services to systematically test and improve your store's performance over time. Many clients see significant sales increases within just a few months of implementing our recommendations.

We don't just build your store and disappear! We provide comprehensive training so you can confidently manage day-to-day operations like adding products, processing orders, and making simple content updates. We create custom video tutorials specific to your store and offer hands-on training sessions for your team. For ongoing support, we offer flexible maintenance packages that include technical support, security updates, and performance monitoring. Many clients start with more support immediately after launch and gradually become more self-sufficient as they grow comfortable with their new store.
