Choosing
Which platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You can add features through apps, although those apps often bring recurring subscriptions. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your checkout requirements before committing to it.
WooCommerce is a good fit if your team already uses WordPress or your shop sits alongside a substantial amount of content. You get control over the code, data and hosting, but someone must maintain the hosting, updates, security and compatibility between plugins. That responsibility needs an owner after launch.
A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, suits unusual catalogues, product configurators and content-led brands. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We look at your products and operations before recommending a platform, including how much control your team needs over the store.
Local
What Connecticut organisations need from a store
Financial, insurance and real estate firms are concentrated in Hartford and Fairfield County. If you supply organisations like these, your store might need business accounts with customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities and a way to request a quote.
Connecticut is also home to manufacturers headquartered in East Hartford and Stratford. If you make products to order for manufacturing customers, your catalogue may need file uploads or price rules for choices that go beyond standard sizes and colours.
Yale University in New Haven and other institutions in the Knowledge Corridor give suppliers an audience to consider. If you sell merchandise to those customers through messages, a catalogue with online payment and order tracking gives you a way to handle orders outside chat.
Rules
What a US store needs to handle
Statewide sales tax applies in many US states, while Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon have no statewide sales tax. We configure the store's tax settings around the products and locations you specify, so the relevant rules are reflected at checkout.
Commercial emails need a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out, and opt-out requests must be honoured. We connect your email tool and set up email content with the address and opt-out route; you remain responsible for handling requests.
How it runs
How an e-commerce project runs with us
India is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. We keep work moving across that gap with an agreed scope and your feedback on designs. The same team handles design, development and launch.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You help us agree what the store needs to include before the build starts.
- 02
Design
We create product, collection and checkout page designs for desktop and mobile. You review them and give feedback before we write code.
- 03
Check the catalogue
We import a small sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, we import the full catalogue.
- 04
Build
We build the store on Shopify, WooCommerce or a headless Next.js storefront, according to the agreed platform and scope.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support after the store goes live.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these details so we can discuss the store and its scope.
- Product dataNames, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes in a spreadsheet.
- PoliciesPlain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms information.
- Payment documentsBusiness registration, bank details and identity documents for an account in your business's name.
- Trading decisionsCheck product taxes with your accountant, and decide your delivery areas, couriers and charges.

Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The work depends on what you already have and what the store needs to do.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is easier to import than information spread across an old store, supplier PDFs and photos in chat threads.
Design
Adapting an existing theme takes less work than a custom design for unusual products or a distinct brand.
Catalogue structure
Categories, filters and variants need planning, especially when each choice has its own price, SKU, stock or image.
Connections
Accounting, ERP, email and marketplace tools need to exchange the right order, stock and shipping information with the store.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building your store
Losing old URLs during migration
Map each old product and category URL to its closest new page with a server-side permanent redirect, including products you no longer sell.
Sending order emails without authentication
Set up SPF or DKIM on your sending domain to reduce the risk of messages landing in spam.
Hiding delivery charges and taxes until the end
Show estimates on product or cart pages so shoppers see them before the final checkout step.
Slowing product pages with oversized images and scripts
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Connecticut
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an e-commerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include the size and complexity of your catalogue, the depth of connections to systems such as an ERP, and custom checkout or pricing rules. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed, so it reflects the work your store needs.
Should I sell through a marketplace or my own store?
Both are workable options, and you can use them together. A marketplace brings ready traffic but sets the rules and keeps the customer relationship. Your own store keeps customer data and margin, while leaving you responsible for attracting visitors. If you use both, stock can be synced.
What is included in an e-commerce build?
We design the storefront around how your customers shop and set up the delivery rules you choose. Those rules can include shipping zones, weight-based or price-based rates, free-delivery thresholds and local pickup. We also build product pages with structured data so they are eligible for rich search results.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Before choosing a new platform, identify which records your team needs to keep using and check what the current and destination platforms support. That helps define the migration scope before the move.
Will I own the store after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code. That means the store is not locked to the team that built it, and you can decide who works on it later. Keep ownership of those assets with your business when arranging access for anyone who maintains the store.
What should we do after launch?
Measure the store and keep testing its checkout. Compare conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed with your figures from before launch or migration. Retest the full checkout after app, plugin or theme changes, and give staff separate logins with only the permissions they need.
