The term eCommerce or variations of the spelling such as e-commerce, is used to describe a business or individual that sells or buys products or services over the internet.
eCommerce typically falls into three main segments:
An eCommerce website can either be business-to-business (B2B), business-to-customer (B2C) or customer-to-customer (C2C). These websites give businesses and individuals the ability to sell or buy products or services online.
WooCommerce is one of the most popular choices for an eCommerce website. WooCommerce is a free, open source WordPress plugin that turns a website into a fully-functioning eCommerce store.
If you are starting a custom eCommerce website project, here are the 8 steps to get you started and ensure your business thrives online.
A typical eCommerce website project will take up to 12 weeks to complete. Our approach starts with the research and project specification phase, before moving into User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI), and finally into development.
But we don’t stop there. Unlike some other eCommerce agencies, we will guide and support you as your business grows and challenges throughout your journey.
One question we are often asked is – how much will it cost to build an eCommerce website?
The short answer is that a custom eCommerce website will depend entirely on the features and functionality required. The first step in our approach is always the discovery stage, from which we will better understand your requirements.
