Our approach to e-commerce development
There are two options related to the design of your online store, and the type of design you select will determine the general cost of your ecommerce store. Since we will help you to select the best ecommerce Shopping Cart for your businesses, you only have to decide whether you want a Template Designed or Custom Designed online store. As for the e-commerce platform / shopping cart, we work with Magento Commerce, the shopping cart that over the course of the last 3 years has been a dominant e-commerce platform on the internet and in 2012 was purchased by eBay. We are 100% confident that your future online business will be built on the best shopping cart available on the market.
Making a step forward with the design type
If you select a template-based online store, we will provide you with a list of 5 to 10 unique template designs. These designs (aka ecommerce themes) are professionally designed by creative web designers/developers some are from Los Angeles CA and sold through third-party websites. After you have picked one template from the available designs, we will integrate it into the shopping cart. The total cost for this type of design is approximately $3,500, and development and launch take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks.
If you select a custom-designed store, we will design two or three unique demos for your store and then convert these designs into the ecommerce shopping cart. The total cost for this type of design is approximately $5,500, and development and launch take about one month to complete.
Both of these options will include:
- Connecting your bank with your online store/ecommerce website
- Configuring online tax rates for your specific location (e.g., California)
- Connecting shipping carriers like UPS, FedEx, USPS with the shopping cart and allowing your future customers to estimate the shipping cost prior to checkout
- Giving you one hour of FREE training of the back-end system. During this training session, you will learn how to add products to the newly create online store, how to create categories, how to check your online orders, send invoices to the customers, and more.
- In addition, we will connect your online store with Google Analytics for FREE. This will provide you with accurate visitors data and geographical reports, as well as keyword reports (which can be used in the future for additional marketing purposes).
All of our ecommerce projects are first built on a testing server. When we start working on your ecommerce store, we will provide you with a temporary link so you can see the progress of the e-commerce website, as well as send us comments or feedback on the design, layout, and configuration.
Before we start to convert the design to the real website, we make sure that you are 100% satisfied with the website layout, colors, and functionality.
