Choosing
Which ecommerce 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, though app subscriptions create recurring costs and deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan. It is the simplest option to run. WooCommerce is a fit if your business already uses WordPress or has substantial content, and you want control over your code, data and hosting. You will need someone to look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility.
A custom storefront, such as Next.js on a commerce back end, suits an unusual catalogue, a product configurator or a content-led brand. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. That trade-off is worth considering before you choose it for features a hosted platform already provides. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, including how your team will manage the store day to day.
Local
What Maine businesses need from an online shop
Maine produces wood products, food products and textiles. If you make goods to order, your store might need more than a choice of size or colour: a product page could collect a customer’s file or apply a price rule to a configured item. We organise the catalogue into collections and set up the attributes and variants that make sense for your products.
Tourism and outdoor recreation are significant parts of Maine’s economy. If you sell outdoor goods from a physical shop, online stock needs to match what is available at the till, and customers may want to collect their orders. Delivery settings also need to reflect your products: we configure shipping zones, rates and conditions, including restrictions for oversized items where needed.
Rules
What a US ecommerce project has to handle
Stripe lists the United States as a country where businesses can sign up to accept payments. If it fits your store, we set up the gateway and test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders, checking the order record, stock and customer email in each case. The gateway still needs to suit your business and platform.
Commercial emails need a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out under CAN-SPAM. If your store sends marketing emails, we set up the email connection so those messages include the address and opt-out, with a way to honour requests.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
We work remotely from India over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 10h30m ahead of Eastern and 13h30m ahead of Pacific in winter; the difference is 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board gives you a place to review work and leave feedback across the time difference.
- 01
Discover and design
We learn about your business, customers and goals, then agree the scope with you. You review desktop and mobile designs and give feedback before we start coding.
- 02
Check a catalogue sample
We put in a small set of products first. You check the titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, we import the full catalogue.
- 03
Test the store
You place test orders across the payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check the stock, order emails and the way each order appears in the admin.
- 04
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support. Your team can use the store’s admin to follow the orders you checked before launch.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these details so we can plan the catalogue and checkout around your operation.
- A product spreadsheet with names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- Original product photos from several angles, with a consistent background and an image for each colour variant.
- Plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies.
- Business registration, bank details and identity documents for a gateway account in your business’s name. Apply early; the provider decides on approval.
- Your tax and delivery decisions, including applicable product taxes, couriers, delivery areas and charges. Check the tax decisions with an accountant.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope and condition of your existing material determine how much work the build needs.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is ready to import; information spread across an old store, supplier PDFs and chat threads needs cleaning first.
Design
Adapting a theme is less work than designing around unusual products or a distinct brand.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller than syncing stock and prices with an ERP or several marketplaces.
Checkout and markets
Custom price rules, delivery-date choices and additional currencies, languages or tax setups add work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid during a store build
Moving without a URL map
Match old product and category URLs to their closest new pages and use server-side permanent redirects, including for products you drop.
Adding an app for every feature
Review what each app or plugin does and remove unused ones. Extra scripts, conflicts and recurring fees can accumulate.
Loading heavy product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Testing only in a sandbox
Place a real low-value order with live payment settings, then refund it. Check the currency, order email and payment updates.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Maine
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The work depends on the catalogue import and variants, the payment and shipping configuration, and whether you need a headless storefront. A useful quote starts with an agreed scope: which products go in, how customers will pay and receive orders, and what the storefront needs to do.
How should I choose a platform if I sell in several countries?
Start with what each market needs from the store. You will need decisions on prices, currencies, tax-inclusive or tax-exclusive display, duties, translated content and shipping options. Some platforms handle these in the core product; others need extensions, so compare the actual market setup before choosing.
What is included in an ecommerce store build?
The build covers the catalogue, cart and checkout, payment and shipping settings, tax rules, customer accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses. It also includes order emails. Those messages need your branding, a sender on your own domain and wording that matches your policies.
Can you migrate my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Agree the migration scope before the move: reviews, gift cards and URL redirects may also need attention. Customer passwords usually cannot move between platforms, so plan a reset email for existing customers.
Who owns 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. Keep track of those assets as part of your store handover so your business retains control of the domain, the content and the code.
What should we check after launch?
Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change, and give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need. Compare conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed with your figures from before launch or migration.
