eCommerce Website Development | Shopping Cart Web Design
We have designed and developed many successful ecommerce websites for clients in various industries. We have built simple ecommerce websites with small inventories, as well as complex ecommerce websites with inventories containing over 10,000 products. Large inventories may require special filtering functionality, or you may have other special requirements like hiding product prices until a user creates a membership. No matter your project’s needs, we can implement the unique functions that you require.
We develop ecommerce websites using Shopify, WordPress (WooCommerce) or Joomla. We do not select a platform based on our preference. We let the objectives of your project decide which platform is right for your needs, because each of these ecommerce platforms has limits and may be better suited for your type of product.

eCommerce Website Development FAQ
1. What is eCommerce website development?
eCommerce website development is the design and build of an online store where customers can browse products, add them to a cart and pay online. It covers the storefront design, product catalog, checkout, payment and shipping setup, and the admin tools you use to run the store.
2. Which eCommerce platform is best for my business?
The best platform depends on your products, inventory size and goals. We build with Shopify, WordPress (WooCommerce) and Joomla, and we let your project’s objectives choose the platform rather than our own preference.
3. Should I choose Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify is a hosted, all-in-one platform with a large app store and built-in marketing tools, which makes it a strong fit for many stores. WooCommerce runs on WordPress and offers deep customization and full control of your site. We will recommend one after reviewing your products and requirements.
4. Can you build a store with a large inventory?
Yes. We have built stores with small catalogs and stores with more than 10,000 products. For VI Fasteners, we built a WooCommerce store around a catalog of almost 40,000 products, and for Deerfield’s Bakery we migrated almost 3,000 products into a new Shopify store. Large inventories usually call for smart category structure, product feeds and filtering so shoppers can find items quickly.
5. Do you offer custom product filters?
Yes. We build “Amazon-style” filters so customers can shop by the criteria that matter for your products, such as flavor, spice level, size, material, price or intended use, along with custom tools when your catalog needs them.
6. Can I hide product prices until a customer creates an account?
Yes. Membership-only pricing, wholesale pricing, tiered quantity pricing and “Call for Price” or “Get a Quote” buttons are all functions we can implement, depending on the platform.
7. How do I manage my products, orders and customers after launch?
Every store includes an administration system for managing products, categories, options, customers, orders, shipping, promotions and newsletters. We also train you on your dashboard so you can run the store confidently.
8. Can I accept credit cards and other payment methods?
Yes. We configure secure online credit card processing and can add options such as PayPal, eChecks and financing providers, depending on your platform and payment processor.
9. Can you sell age-restricted or high-risk products online?
In many cases, yes. We can configure age verification and payment solutions for stores selling age-restricted products or products that payment processors treat as high-risk. Policies vary by processor, so we review your products first.
10. How do you handle shipping rates and carriers?
We can set free shipping or exact shipping prices per item, and integrate live UPS, USPS, FedEx or other carrier rates. Stores can also offer local pickup, multiple pickup locations and delivery-radius rules.
11. Can the store calculate sales tax automatically?
Yes. We configure sales tax by state or country, based on billing or shipping address, and can set custom tax overrides when a product requires a different rate.
12. Will my eCommerce website be optimized for search engines?
Yes. We build stores with SEO in mind, including keyword-driven page titles, metadata, optimized product content, fast load times and Google Analytics and Search Console setup, so your products are easier to find.
13. Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We migrate stores from older systems, such as an outdated Joomla or WooCommerce build, or a marketplace that takes a commission on your sales, to a modern platform you control. We rebuild your product feed and handle redirects so your products, images and SEO data carry over cleanly.
14. Do you provide product photography for online stores?
Yes. We offer professional product and food photography, including image capture, editing and formatting so your images look consistent and load quickly in your store. We can also produce product videos for your site and ads.
15. Can you add subscriptions, registrations or recurring payments?
Yes. We can set up subscription products, bundles, program registration and membership websites with recurring fees, as well as stores that take payments for services.
16. Can my store send email newsletters and promotions?
Yes. You can collect newsletter sign-ups, send HTML newsletters, and create discount and promotional codes to bring customers back. We can also set up abandoned cart and post-purchase email flows.
17. Will my eCommerce website work well on phones and tablets?
Yes. Our custom designs are built to display and check out properly on mobile devices, since a large share of online shopping happens on phones.
18. Do you offer training and support after launch?
Yes. We provide training on your store dashboard, products and content updates, along with lifetime support. An AdverGroup representative is just a phone call away.
19. How long does it take to build an eCommerce website?
Timelines depend on the platform, the number of products and any custom features such as filters, delivery rules or integrations. After a consultation about your goals and inventory, we can give you a realistic schedule.
20. How do I get started with an eCommerce website project?
