FAQs
What is ecommerce web design?
eCommerce web design is the process of designing an online store. This involves creating a visually appealing website that is easy to use and provides a good user experience. It also needs to be optimised for search engines so that potential customers can find your site.
Compared to standard web design, the focus of ecommerce web design lies in delivering functionality for both the business and customers. The business needs to be able to grow and scale using their website, while customers need to be able to access the products and services they need easily. Without both of these goals front and centre, an eCommerce website is just another website with information about a business.
Our eCommerce design methodology revolves around being able to personalise and customise the design process and features for our clients. No two businesses are the same, so trying to build an eCommerce site from a template will never work. Working closely with our clients we can come up with detailed designs that deliver all the functionality businesses require to do business online, and more.
How much does it cost to develop an eCommerce website?
eCommerce websites can range from a hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands to develop. At the bare minimum, you can set up a shopify store with one product and sales portal and you’ll only pay the subscription fees for shopify and any transaction fees.
At the other end, you’re looking at a complete custom sales platform designed to facilitate sales, logistics, data analysis and more for customers and businesses globally.
Of course, most of our clients fit somewhere in the middle. We generally charge anywhere from a few thousand to $10,000+, depending on the scope of the project. Our team will sit down with you at the start and help you work out which services you actually need, and which ones you can afford to go without. This way, you get a price that’s right for you, without any fluff or unnecessary expenses. Plus, if your website is built right the first time you can easily upgrade it in the future.eCommerce websites can range from a hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands to develop.

Is it hard to build an eCommerce website?
No, not at all! In fact, with the right platform and team, it can be quite easy. Of course, there is a bit of a learning curve involved in setting up your store and adding products, but we’re here to help you every step of the way. Plus, once your site is up and running you’ll be surprised how quickly you get the hang of things.
How long does it take to build an eCommerce website?
This depends on the size and complexity of your site. A simple site can be up and running in just a few weeks, while a more complex site may take a bit longer. We always work diligently to get your site live as quickly as possible.
What is the best eCommerce platform?
There are many great eCommerce platforms out there, like WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and Bigcommerce. The best platform for you will depend on your specific needs and goals.
If you don’t have a specific platform in mind, our team will sit down with you when you come in for your initial consultation and work out which platform will best meet your needs.
