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, though their subscriptions add ongoing costs. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your checkout requirements before choosing it.
WooCommerce is a fit if your team already uses WordPress, has a content-heavy site or wants control over code, data and hosting. That control comes with work: someone needs to manage hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. A headless Next.js storefront or another custom approach suits unusual catalogues or checkouts where the standard options do not fit your operations.
Selling into several countries adds another decision. You need to plan currencies, market prices, tax display, duties, translations and shipping; some platforms cover these in their core product, while others need extensions. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, so the choice reflects what your team needs to manage.
Local
What Seattle businesses need from an online store
Seattle has industrial, technology and design companies. If you sell to other businesses, your store may need customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities, quote requests or ordering on account. A retailer adding online sales has a different task: keeping stock aligned with the shop’s till and offering click and collect where it fits how customers buy.
The Port of Seattle is a gateway for Asia-Pacific trade. For a business trading through it, shipping rules need to reflect where products can go and what delivery costs. We set up zones and rates, including conditions for products that cannot ship to certain areas, and connect the store to accounting, ERP or marketplace tools where those connections are needed.
Rules
What a United States store needs to handle
State sales tax varies across the United States. We set up checkout tax rules for the states you sell into using the tax information you provide, alongside the cart, payment and shipping settings your store needs.
For commercial email, including business-to-business messages, the build needs a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out. We connect your email tool and set up the message and opt-out handling around the requirement to honour requests within 10 business days. Have your business address ready for the email templates.
How it runs
How an e-commerce project runs with us
We work remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 13h30m ahead of Pacific time in winter and 1 hour less during daylight saving time; the shared board keeps feedback and decisions visible across the difference.
- 01
Discover
Tell us about your business, customers and goals. We use that discussion to agree the store’s scope with you before moving into design.
- 02
Design
We design product, collection and checkout pages for desktop and mobile. You review the screens and give feedback, which we use to refine them before writing code.
- 03
Build and import
We put in a small product sample first. You check its titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, the full catalogue can follow without repeating the same corrections across every row.
- 04
Test before launch
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check stock, order emails and how each order appears in the admin as well.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these materials so we can discuss the store using your actual products and operating details.
- A product spreadsheet with names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes. Missing weights or sizes can produce wrong delivery charges.
- Original product photos, with consistent backgrounds and proportions, several angles and an image for each colour variant.
- Plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies.
- Business registration, bank and identity documents for a payment account in your business’s name. Apply early; the provider decides approval.
- Logins for your domain, DNS, existing site, email, analytics and Google accounts, held in your business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and time of development
The work grows or shrinks with the decisions you make about the store.
Catalogue
More variants, engraving options, bundles or products sold by weight or length add structure and data work.
Design
Adapting a theme is a smaller task than creating a custom design around unusual products or a distinct brand.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller than two-way stock and price synchronisation with an ERP or marketplaces.
Migration
Moving customers, order history, reviews and redirects adds work beyond moving products. Existing customers usually need a password reset email.
Checkout and markets
Delivery date pickers, wholesale tiers and additional currencies, languages or tax setups add rules to build.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with an online store
Heavy product pages
Compress oversized images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where needed.
Late delivery charges
Show delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages instead of leaving shoppers to discover them at the final checkout step.
Lost URLs during migration
Map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages with server-side permanent 301 redirects, including for products you drop.
Sandbox-only testing
Place a real low-value order on live payment settings and refund it to check webhooks, currency settings and order emails.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Seattle
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an e-commerce website cost?
There is no fixed price. Catalogue complexity and migration scope are major drivers: variants can each need their own SKU, stock and image, while moving customers and order history depends on what the platforms allow. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Should you sell through a marketplace or your own store?
The choice depends on how you want to reach and keep customers. A marketplace brings ready traffic but sets the rules and keeps the customer relationship. Your own store keeps customer data and margin, while you need to attract visitors; some brands run both and sync stock.
What is included in a store for a business currently selling through social media?
You can move orders from messages into a catalogue with online payment and order tracking. Product pages also include structured data, making them eligible for rich search results. That eligibility is part of the page setup; attracting visitors to the store remains a separate task.
Who owns the store after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code. That means you are not locked to the team that built the store if you decide to work with someone else. Agree ownership when you discuss the scope, and keep control of those assets as the store develops.
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. Track conversion rate, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration.
How do you choose a payment gateway?
We look at where your business is registered, the currencies you sell in and the methods your customers need. Compare settlement timing and the way refunds and disputes work as well. Supported options include Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal and local gateways, according to the country and platform.
