Ecommerce sites built to actually sell, not just look nice
There are a lot of pretty ecom sites out there that don’t actually convert. Ecommerce is a specialty tier for us, priced at $15-30k, because a real WooCommerce build means getting the catalog, payment, tax, shipping, and inventory pieces right, not just picking a nice theme.
Ecommerce is a different animal than a standard website. You’re not just showing people information, you’re asking them to trust you with their card number and their money. That means the catalog structure, checkout flow, tax rules, and shipping setup all have to work correctly on day one. We’ve been building WordPress sites since 2002 and WooCommerce stores are one of our specialty tracks.

Why us
Why teams pick us for ecommerce
Plenty of agencies will bolt WooCommerce onto a standard site as an afterthought. We build ecom-first, which changes how the whole project gets planned and built.
- We’re WooCommerce specialists. This isn’t a plugin we add at the end of a build. Ecommerce sites get planned as ecommerce sites from the first conversation.
- Payment, tax, shipping, and inventory get set up right. This is exactly where DIY builds and cut-rate agencies break. We treat this as core scope, not an extra.
- We design for conversion, not just aesthetics. Product page templates that actually sell and checkout flows that don’t lose people partway through.
- We handle the integrations most agencies punt on. Accounting, inventory sync, and shipping providers are part of the build, not a “that’s on you” afterthought.
- Post-launch care matters more here. An ecommerce site breaking for a day costs real revenue, so we offer care plans built for that reality, not a generic maintenance add-on.
Services
What’s included in an ecommerce build
Every WooCommerce build ships with the pieces that actually make a store work, not just look nice.
Product catalog structure & taxonomy
Categories, tags, and variations set up so your store stays organized as it grows, not a flat list that gets messy at 200 products.
Custom product, collection & checkout design
The pages that actually drive a sale get real design attention, not a default theme layout.
WooCommerce build & payment gateways
Stripe, PayPal, and other major gateways configured and tested before launch.
Tax & shipping rule configuration
Set up correctly for how you actually sell and ship, so you’re not fixing tax math after your first orders come in.
Inventory sync
If you have an existing system, stock levels stay accurate across your store and your backend.
Key integrations
Accounting (QuickBooks, Xero), shipping (ShipStation), and email (Klaviyo) connected to the tools that already run your business.
Mobile optimization
Most ecommerce traffic happens on a phone, so the mobile experience gets built as a priority, not a checkbox.
Speed optimization
Ecommerce lives or dies by speed. A slow checkout is a lost sale.
On-page SEO setup
Product and category page titles, meta descriptions, and structure set correctly from day one.
Launch training
We walk your team through how to add products and manage orders before we hand it off.
Process
How we handle ecommerce builds
Ecom is one of the few places where cheap builds cost you money. A pretty $5k ecom site with a broken checkout will lose you more revenue in a month than the extra $10k for a build that actually converts. That's the real math behind why we price this tier the way we do.
We’re WooCommerce specialists, not Shopify. If you want a Shopify store, we’re not your shop, and we’ll tell you that upfront instead of taking the project anyway. Catalog size and integration complexity are the main price drivers on every ecommerce quote, more than anything else. That’s why every project starts with a scope call to understand your fulfillment model, your product line, and what systems you already run, before we quote a number.
Typical timeline runs 10-16 weeks depending on catalog size and how many integrations you need. Bigger catalogs and more third-party systems push toward the longer end.
Timeline & investment
What to expect
Every ecommerce project gets scoped before we quote a number. Here’s how that process runs and what it typically costs.
How it works
- ✓Scope call. We learn your catalog, your fulfillment model, and what integrations you need before quoting anything.
- ✓Written scope and fixed price. You know the number before any work starts.
- ✓Design, 3-4 weeks. Product pages, collection pages, and checkout get designed around your brand and your products.
- ✓Build and integrations, 6-10 weeks. WooCommerce build, payment setup, and connections to accounting, shipping, and email tools.
- ✓Payment, tax, and shipping testing. Every gateway, tax rule, and shipping rule gets tested before launch, not after.
- ✓Launch and training. Your store goes live and your team learns how to add products and manage orders.
Investment
- ✓Ecommerce builds run $15-30k. Priced by catalog size, custom integrations needed, and fulfillment complexity.
- ✓Fixed-fee once scoped. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices mid-project.
- ✓Ongoing care matters more here. We offer care plans built for ecommerce separately, see our WordPress maintenance page.
Is this right for you?
Who an ecommerce build is (and isn’t) a fit for
We’d rather turn down a bad fit than sell you the wrong thing. Here’s the straight cut.
You’re a fit if
- ✓You sell products online, physical or digital
- ✓You’re on WooCommerce or want to be
- ✓Your current ecom site is broken: slow checkout, high cart abandonment, bad mobile experience
- ✓You need real integrations (accounting, inventory, shipping), not just a basic Stripe checkout
- ✓You have 25+ SKUs and a catalog worth investing in
- ✓You’re willing to invest properly because ecom uptime and speed directly affect revenue
You probably don’t need this if
- ✗You want to sell on Shopify (we’re not your shop, and we’ll say so)
- ✗You have 5-10 products and don’t need much complexity, see our website development page instead
- ✗You want the cheapest ecommerce option possible (this isn’t it, and we’re upfront about that)
- ✗You’re expecting us to also run your marketing, that’s separate, see SEO or Local Service Ads
- ✗You need a $50k+ enterprise commerce platform like BigCommerce Enterprise or Salesforce Commerce, that’s not us
If that’s you, we’ll say so on our first call. No hard sell.

FAQs
Why does ecommerce cost so much more than a standard build?
Because there’s more that has to work correctly. Catalog structure, payment gateways, tax rules, shipping configuration, and inventory all have to be set up right before you take a single order. A standard site just needs to load and look good. An ecommerce site has to actually process money correctly, every time.
Do you build on Shopify?
No. We’re WooCommerce specialists. If Shopify is what you want, we’re not your shop, and we’d rather tell you that upfront than take the project and do a mediocre job on a platform we don’t focus on.
What integrations can you handle?
Accounting tools like QuickBooks and Xero, shipping providers like ShipStation, email platforms like Klaviyo, and inventory sync if you already have a system in place. Tell us what runs your business now and we’ll tell you straight what’s possible.
How long does an ecommerce build take?
Typically 10-16 weeks, depending on catalog size and how many integrations you need. A smaller catalog with fewer integrations lands toward the shorter end. A large catalog with several third-party systems takes longer.
Is there a limit to catalog size?
No hard limit. We’ve built stores with a handful of products and stores with 40,000+ SKUs mass-imported. Bigger catalogs just take more upfront planning on category structure, filtering, and search so the store stays usable as it grows.
Do I have to be on WooCommerce?
For us, yes. It’s the platform we’ve built our ecommerce process around and where we can promise the payment, tax, and shipping setup will actually be done right. If you’re already on WooCommerce, we can also just take over and fix or grow what you have.
