Conversion, conversions and conversions. 65% of your visitors are mobile, make their experience count by implementing a conversion focused design.

Testing

At the basis of a well functional e-Commerce site lies testing. In cooperation, we can test every aspect on multiple devices. Making sure customers can checkout without issues but also that users can navigate the site easily.

Performance

Slow e-Commerce sites cause an enormous loss of conversions. Optimization is also difficult, since out-of-box shops don’t take into account specific needs from your business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you recommend Woocommerce as an e-commerce system?

Woocommerce is a very user friendly system, it’s relatively lightweight compared to bigger e-commerce systems, while offering the same functionality. It also be extended easily, through open source as well as premium extensions. There are many stable and successful online shops with Woocommerce that have 10.000+ products and a lot of sales.

How much does an e-Commerce site cost?

There is not a definitive answer to this. Implementing a shop, product detail page and a cart plus checkout that has been designed thoroughly, can be extremely time consuming. Standard designed e-Commerce sites are way simpler, but still some extensions to the functionality of the site can make the whole thing a lot more expensive.

How long does it take to build an e-Commerce site?

This depends on the complexity, mostly it will take a minimum of a month. There are a lot of factors to take into account, because the setup of payment methods and shipping methods or other integrations can be causing delays.

How much maintenance does an e-Commerce site require?

Generally, e-Commerce requires more maintenance than normal sites because of the importance of security. Generally, due to its nature, e-Commerce sites are more sensitive to malfunctioning, because of all the moving parts. Staying ahead of maintenance avoids potential and unexpected disruptions.

I heard that Woocommerce needs a lot of plugins in order to work, is this true?

Not necessarily. Plugins are generally feature extensions of Woocommerce, if a relatively simple shop is required, there is also no need for many plugins. In other more advanced shops, having a lot of plugins is a choice. It is also possible to get features programmed.

Can we connect our CRM or Inventory management to Woocommerce?

There are many cases that this is possible. Your CRM usually has information about this and otherwise there might be an extension that allows this integration.

Why is my e-commerce site so slow?

E-Commerce sites are usually slow because they are not optimised, run outdated plugins, and run on inefficient hosting. It’s important that the hosting has a specific environment or space for Woocommerce sites.

Is Woocommerce secure? Can we get hacked, and what can we do to prevent it?

Woocommerce on its own is pretty secure. There are ways to enhance this by enabling brute force password protection, setting proper user levels, updating plugins and themes regularly, choosing a good hosting company, using well maintained plugins and more advanced solutions.
