Design concept & research

Prior to commencing the design process for your ecommerce website, it is crucial to establish clear goals. What specific outcomes do you aim to achieve through your website? Are you looking to drive increased traffic, enhance search engine rankings, or generate higher numbers of leads and sales?

To gather the necessary information, we will engage in a comprehensive discussion either in person, over the phone, or via email. This allows us to gain a thorough understanding of your requirements. Subsequently, we will leverage our software to conduct in-depth research on relevant keyword phrases to target. Additionally, we will identify the specific pages and functionality necessary for the successful development of your website.

Website design & development

Your ecommerce website design will be constructed according to your specific requirements and the agreed-upon specifications. Throughout the development process, you will be provided with login details to access the build site. This allows you to monitor the progress and provide feedback at designated intervals.
Initially, you will receive the first draft of the design of the website for your review and feedback. Once your feedback has been incorporated, all pages will be finalised and integrated into a fully functional website. At this stage, you will have the opportunity to explore the website and offer feedback. You can supply any necessary images and content to be included.
We value your input throughout the process to ensure that the final result aligns precisely with your vision and expectations for your ecommerce website.

Launch website

Upon completion, we will launch your ecommerce website and, if it is a new website, submit it to search engines for indexing. In the case of a website redesign, we will resubmit the website to ensure its proper re-indexing by search engines.

To ensure your comfort and understanding of managing your website, we offer a comprehensive training session. The training session can be conducted in person, providing hands-on guidance, or through video tutorials that you can access and reference at your convenience. Our aim is to equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently manage and maintain your ecommerce website.

Aftercare & Support

For CMS websites, we offer reliable maintenance support, ensuring continuous updates for the core software and plugins. This includes essential elements such as payment gateways and security features. We understand the importance of keeping your website up to date and secure, and we are committed to providing ongoing support in this regard.

Beyond maintenance, we are available to offer guidance and advice whenever you need it. Simply reach out to us via email or phone, and we will be more than happy to assist you. We are dedicated to providing excellent customer service and ensuring your satisfaction with our services.

High speed hosting for your online shop

High speed hosting is essential for ecommerce websites because it allows customers to browse and purchase products quickly and easily. Slow loading times can lead to abandoned carts and lost sales.

Here are some additional benefits of high speed hosting for ecommerce websites:

Improved customer satisfaction: Customers are more likely to have a positive experience with your website if it loads quickly.
Increased sales: Faster loading times can lead to increased sales by reducing the number of abandoned carts.
Better SEO: Google and other search engines favour websites that load quickly. This means that your website will rank higher in search results, which can lead to more traffic and sales.

If you're running an ecommerce website, it's important to choose a high speed hosting provider. This will help you to improve your customer satisfaction, increase your sales, and improve your SEO.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to build a website?

The duration required to build a website can vary depending on the project's size and complexity. While a simple website can typically be completed within a few weeks, please note that our schedule is often booked in advance by a month or two. This means that while the actual build time might be a couple of weeks, there may be a waiting period as we work on projects that were scheduled prior to yours. Conversely, a more complex website may necessitate several months or even longer for development.

How much does a website cost?

The pricing of an ecommerce website can vary significantly based on multiple factors, encompassing the website's size, complexity, desired features, and level of customisation.

It is essential to understand that each website project is unique, and the cost will be contingent upon your specific needs and requirements. Therefore, providing an exact cost without comprehensive details about your project is impractical.

Here are several factors that can influence the cost of an ecommerce website:

Website size and complexity: The number of pages and intricacy of the website's structure and functionality will impact the development cost.
Level of customisation: Opting for a custom-designed website tailored exclusively to your business will typically incur a higher cost compared to utilising a pre-made template.
Required features: The inclusion of specific features, such as an subscription functionality or a membership area, can contribute to the overall cost of the website.
Technical expertise level: If your website necessitates advanced security measures or extensive integration with other systems, the development cost may be higher due to the specialised expertise required.

To determine an accurate cost estimate for your ecommerce website, it is crucial to engage in a detailed discussion to gain a comprehensive understanding of your project requirements. This will allow us to provide you with a tailored pricing estimate aligned with your specific needs.

Will I be able to update my website?

An ecommerce website/online shop requires a content management system (CMS) so that you can edit and manage the website yourself. With a CMS website, you gain the ability to manage customers, orders, stock and more, along with being able to make updates to general pages all on your own schedule at no additional cost. However, if you require new features that were not included in the initial build, we would discuss them with you, as their implementation would involve additional work on our part.

Once your website is built, it's important to note that ongoing updates are crucial for achieving or maintaining a good search engine ranking. These updates may include tasks such as adding blog posts, incorporating new customer reviews, and managing products and orders for online shops. By consistently updating your website, you can enhance its visibility and performance.
