E-commerce websites
Shopify website design and WooCommerce development for retailers and brands that sell online. We plan the catalog, design product and checkout pages, connect payments and shipping, and load-test the store before you announce it.
The short answer
Shopify website design is building a store on Shopify's hosted platform: theme, product pages, collections, checkout settings and apps. WooCommerce does the same on WordPress, where you control the code and hosting. We build on both, recommend one after looking at your catalog and team, and load-test before launch. E-commerce projects start from $5,000 with a fixed quote.
Where online stores lose orders
- Shipping costs appear only at checkout, and shoppers leave the moment they see the total.
- Categories and filters don't match how customers browse, so good products sit unseen.
- The store slows down or throws errors exactly when an email campaign or ad sale goes live.
- Inventory, invoices and shipping labels are handled by hand in separate tools.
- Apps pile up on Shopify, each with its own fee and its own script slowing the store.
Shopify or WooCommerce, decided by your business
Shopify suits stores that want hosting, security and updates handled for a monthly fee, and whose needs fit its apps. WooCommerce suits stores that need custom logic, many product variants, unusual pricing or deep integrations, and want to control the code. We build on both, so the recommendation follows your catalog rather than our habits.
Before launch we load-test the store, because a sale day is the wrong time to discover its limits. On the Mandala webshop, which carries 3,000+ products, we tested with 3,034 products and 5,000 orders. After our fixes, throughput without cache rose from 1.7 to 30.5 requests per second, the error rate fell from 23% to 0%, and the store handled 111 orders a minute.
Selling online is also a marketing job. As an ecommerce marketing agency we can run the Google and Meta side as well: product feeds, server-side conversion tracking through our own ads manager, and reports that tie orders back to the campaigns that produced them instead of counting clicks and impressions.

Questions
Questions
Is Shopify or WooCommerce better for a small business?
Shopify is easier if you want a hosted store with less to maintain and your needs fit its apps. WooCommerce is better if you need custom pricing, complex products or integrations, or want to control the code without a platform subscription. For many small shops either works; we decide with you after seeing the catalog.
How much does an e-commerce website cost?
Our e-commerce builds start from $5,000 before tax, including WooCommerce or Shopify setup, payments, integrations and load testing. The final price depends on the number of products and variants, custom features and what needs connecting. Once we've seen the catalog on a 20-minute call, the quote is fixed. Platform, app and payment fees are billed by those providers.
Can you move my store from Shopify to WooCommerce, or the other way?
Yes. We move products, categories, customers and order history where the platforms allow it, and redirect old product URLs to their new addresses so search traffic follows. Before switching we compare monthly costs and features, because a migration only makes sense if the new platform solves a real problem.
Do you write product descriptions?
We can. Our copywriters write category pages and key product pages around what people search for, then set up a template your team can follow for the rest. For large catalogs we usually start with best sellers and categories, which tend to matter most for search.
Will you keep testing checkout after launch?
Yes, with our HotPot website care. On WooCommerce stores, a robot runs through checkout and alerts us if a step fails, so a broken payment page doesn't go unnoticed for days. Shopify stores are monitored from outside. Checkout problems tend to appear quietly after updates, which is why we automate the check.
