Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits a store that wants hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled within the platform. You can add features through apps, but app subscriptions add ongoing costs, and deeper checkout changes are limited to Shopify Plus. Review the features you need before choosing apps so you understand what the store will depend on.
WooCommerce is a practical choice when your team already works in WordPress. A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, fits unusual catalogues, product configurators and content-led brands. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, so the choice reflects how your team will run the store.
You may also sell through a marketplace alongside your own store. A marketplace brings its own traffic but controls the rules and customer relationship; your store keeps customer data and margin, while you take responsibility for attracting visitors. Stock needs to stay in sync if you use both.
Local
What Baltimore organisations need from an online store
Johns Hopkins Hospital and University are major employers in Baltimore. If an organisation like these sells merchandise online, its catalogue needs clear collections and choices such as size or colour, with the right stock, price and image attached to each variant. That makes the catalogue manageable as products change.
Baltimore's large companies include Under Armour and McCormick & Company. A company selling to other businesses needs an ordering experience built around those customers: account ordering, quote requests, minimum quantities and prices agreed for each customer are all choices to consider in the build.
Service businesses also form part of Baltimore's economy. A business taking orders for configurable or made-to-order products needs a way to capture the customer's choices, such as a file upload, preview or price rule, before the order reaches the team fulfilling it.
Rules
What a US ecommerce store needs to handle
Sales tax affects the checkout configuration: 45 US states levy a state-level sales tax, while Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax. We configure taxes in the store around the decisions you make for your products and selling areas.
Stripe lists the United States among the countries where businesses can sign up to accept payments. We set up a supported gateway for your country and platform, with Stripe, PayPal and other local gateway options available. The choice affects what customers see when they pay.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
We work remotely from our studio in India, using video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. India time is 10h30m ahead of Eastern in winter and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The board gives us a shared place to keep decisions and work visible across that difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You explain how you sell and what the store needs to do; we agree the scope with you before moving into design.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout pages for desktop and mobile. You review the screens and give feedback, which we use to refine the design before code is written.
- 03
Test
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check stock levels, order emails and the way each order appears in the store admin.
- 04
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support. You have the store ready to operate with its launch settings in place.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these materials and decisions for the store project.
- Product photosKeep the original high-resolution files, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesWrite shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms information in plain language.
- Payment documentsGather registration, bank and identity details; apply for the gateway account in your business's name.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes with your accountant and decide where and how you will deliver.
- Account accessFind logins for your domain, current site, email, analytics and Google accounts.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The scope determines the work involved in your store.
Catalogue
More products, variants, bundles or measurements add setup work, particularly when each choice has its own details.
Design
Adapting a theme is a smaller piece of work than creating a custom design for unusual products.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller in scope than stock and price sync with an ERP or marketplaces.
Checkout and pricing
Delivery date choices, gift messages, wholesale tiers and customer-specific catalogues each add rules to build and test.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building your store
Losing old page addresses
Map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages, including dropped products, and use permanent server-side redirects.
Overloading product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Testing only in a sandbox
Place a low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it to check the payment connection, currency and order emails.
Showing extra charges too late
Put delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages so shoppers see them before the last checkout step.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Baltimore
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an ecommerce website?
There is no fixed price. Migration scope, selling into several markets and the apps needed for features all affect the work. Moving customer and order records is a different scope from moving products alone; extra markets bring decisions about currencies, duties and content. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Should I choose Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store?
The choice follows your products and operations. Shopify is simplest to run, WooCommerce suits a team already using WordPress, and custom development suits an unusual catalogue or checkout. We build on Shopify and WooCommerce, as well as headless Next.js storefronts, so the platform can fit the work your store needs to do.
What happens when a customer pays?
The store records the order, updates stock and sends the customer an email. We test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders to check those steps. Gateway selection also involves comparing the payment methods your customers need, settlement timing, and how the provider handles refunds and disputes.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Tell us which records you need in the new store when we discuss the scope, so the move is planned around the information your team needs to continue handling orders and customers.
Will I own the store after launch?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, so you are not locked to the team that built the store. Keep those assets under your control and make sure you have access to them; that leaves you able to work with a different development team later.
What should we check after launch?
Track conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration. Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change. Give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
