Ecommerce website design services cover everything a store needs to take money online: custom store design, platform development on Shopify or WooCommerce, product pages built to convert, checkout tuned for completion, payment and shipping setup, and the SEO foundation that gets products found. Websloop designs and builds ecommerce websites for small and mid-size US businesses, from $799, with published prices and checkout-first thinking.

Most online stores fail in one of three ways: they run on a theme that looks like every competitor, they leak sales at a clumsy checkout, or they were built with no SEO foundation so Google never sends shoppers. Professional ecommerce website design and development services fix all three at once. You get a digital storefront built around what you sell and who buys it, backed by 10+ years of experience building stores that rank and convert, by a team that treats the checkout as the most important page on the site. It becomes a sales channel that earns its keep, not a catalog that sits there.

What ecommerce website design services actually include

A real ecommerce build is design plus development plus commerce plumbing. Design decides how the store looks and how shoppers move through it. Development builds that design on a platform, connects payments and shipping, and keeps it fast and secure. The commerce layer is product architecture, variants, taxes, discounts, abandoned-cart recovery, and analytics that tell you what sells. When one team owns all three, nothing falls between the cracks: the product page fits the checkout, the checkout fits the SEO, and the whole store fits your business.

Our ecommerce work spans website design services, Shopify and WooCommerce development, checkout and conversion optimization, and store migrations. Most projects start with a build and grow into care plans and SEO, in that order. See our website development services for the full build capability behind the stores.

Shopify vs WooCommerce: the honest answer

Shopify if you want speed to launch, hosted reliability, and a strong app ecosystem. WooCommerce if you want maximum customization, lower per-transaction cost at scale, or you already run WordPress. That is the whole answer, and any agency that only sells one platform will never give it to you straight. We build on both, so the recommendation follows your catalog size, your technical comfort, and your growth plan, not our skill set, and we help you create a store on the platform that fits. Platform fees go to the platform either way, and we list them in the quote before you sign.

The wrong platform costs more than the build: replatforming later means migration, redirects, and retraining. Getting the choice right on day one is the cheapest decision in the whole project, which is why platform fit is part of discovery, not an upsell. If all you need is a simple store and a DIY builder fits, we will tell you that too.

Why most online stores leak revenue

The pattern repeats everywhere. A checkout that surprises shoppers with shipping costs at the last step. Product pages with one blurry photo and no reviews, even on top-selling items. A store that takes five seconds to load on a phone, so half the visitors leave before the price appears. Search that returns nothing for the product you actually sell. Each of these is a design and development problem, and each one has a fix: transparent costs before checkout, photography that explains the product, speed work baked into the build, and search that works on the first attempt.

Once the store converts, the next question is getting found. SEO is phase two for us, never an afterthought: see our website design and SEO services for the combined offer. Every store already ships with the SEO foundation, product schema, clean URLs, and site architecture, so phase two starts from strength.

What you get

Ecommerce development services

Custom store design, Shopify and WooCommerce builds, checkout optimization, migration, product SEO, speed, integrations, and care. One team, one fixed quote.

Custom ecommerce store design

The core of our ecommerce website design services: a store designed around your products, your brand, and your buyers, not a theme with your logo pasted on. Discovery first, so we know what you sell, who buys it, and what the store must do. Then design you approve, clean development, testing on real phones, and a launch checklist. Every page is built for a user experience that loads fast and pushes shoppers toward checkout.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

Slow stores lose shoppers before the product page loads. Performance work is baked into every build: image compression, clean code, caching, and hosting guidance matched to your platform. We build to the Core Web Vitals thresholds, LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, CLS under 0.1, and show you real test runs, not promises. Our Professional builds target 90+ speed scores.

The price

Ecommerce websites, priced in full

Fixed prices, agreed in writing before work starts. No hourly billing, no vague retainers that drift upward. Platform fees and payment processing go to the platform, never to us, and are listed separately.

Who we are not for: Not the right fit if what you mainly need is paid ads managed, or if you want a marketplace listing instead of your own store. We design and build the store, the checkout, the product SEO, and the integrations on Shopify or WooCommerce; we do not manage ad spend.

How it runs

How an ecommerce project runs

01

Discovery and a fixed quote

We learn what you sell, who buys it, and what the store must do: catalog size, platform fit, payment and shipping needs, and what is broken about the current store. You get a fixed quote in writing with exactly what is included, the delivery window, and the price. No hourly billing, no scope that quietly expands.

02

Design you approve

Homepage, product page, and checkout designs first, built around your products and your buyers. You review and approve the look before a line of final code is written, so there are no surprises at the end. Revisions are part of the package, with the round count stated up front.

03

Build and quality checks

Development on the approved design: clean code, responsive on every screen size, payments and shipping configured and tested with real transactions, speed optimization, SEO foundations, analytics connected. We test on real phones and browsers, fix what breaks, and walk you through the store before it goes live.

04

Launch and ongoing support

Careful launch with redirects if you are replacing an old store, so you keep your rankings. Then post-launch support (15 to 90 days depending on package) while everything settles. After that, care plans are optional and quoted separately. The store, the domain, the content, and the logins are all in your name from day one.

Why us

Why store owners hire Websloop

Ecommerce is a service pillar, not a side offer

E-commerce development is one of our six core service pillars, alongside WordPress, Shopify, SEO and speed, maintenance, and redesign. We have launched stores for 10+ years across 15+ countries, including skincare e-commerce. The checkout, product, and migration problems you will hit are problems we have already solved.

Prices are public

Almost nobody in this space publishes prices. We do, down to the dollar, because a store owner comparing ecommerce website design services deserves numbers before a sales call. The quote you sign matches the price on the pricing page, line for line, with platform fees and recurring costs listed separately so nothing hides.

You own everything

The store, the theme, the code, the content, the domain, the logins, all in your name from day one, written into the agreement. If you ever leave, everything goes with you. Do not sign with any ecommerce agency if cancellation means losing your own store.

We say what is not included

No paid ads management, no vague monthly retainers that drift upward, no pretending one platform fits everyone. What is included is listed line by line in your quote, and what is not gets named before you pay. Honest scope is why clients stay.

Your store should sell while you sleep

Every month on a store that leaks checkout sales is a month of lost revenue. We will give you a fixed price in writing, usually within one business day, and an honest answer on whether a new build is even what you need.
