Ecommerce website development built to sell, not just to launch

Ecommerce website development is the design and build of an online store, covering the storefront and product catalog, cart and checkout, payment and shipping integrations, and the platform underneath (Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom stack), plus the launch and ongoing work that keeps the store fast and converting. At WitsCode the build always starts from how your customers shop, not from a theme.

Choose Shopify when you want a managed platform with a hosted checkout and the fastest path to launch, choose WooCommerce when you are WordPress-centric and want full ownership and content flexibility, and go headless or custom when performance, unique buying flows, or a multi-vendor model outgrow what templates handle. We build on all three, so the recommendation follows your catalog, team, and market rather than a platform allegiance.

A Shopify or WooCommerce store with a standard catalog typically launches in 3 to 6 weeks, while a custom or headless build, a marketplace, or a store with heavy integrations typically runs 8 to 12 weeks, with product data readiness (photos, descriptions, variants, pricing) usually setting the pace more than development does. Timelines come with explicit milestones from the first week.

Yes, ecommerce migration is one of our core services, and a proper migration moves products, variants, customers, and order history to the new platform, preserves your URLs or 301-redirects every old one, and protects the search rankings and revenue the store already earns, because a migration that loses SEO equity costs more than it saves. We plan redirects and test them before anything switches over.

Yes, we build B2B and wholesale stores where the catalog and pricing sit behind approved trade accounts, and our build for Bro Coffee Wholesale is a live example: a Shopify storefront with account-gated pricing, a structured multi-category catalog, a wholesale account inquiry flow, and multi-region currency support. The same discipline applies to marketplaces; SCRAPD runs multi-vendor storefronts with direct Stripe Connect creator payouts.

Ecommerce development cost is driven by catalog size and complexity, the number of custom features beyond what the platform provides, integrations (payments, shipping, ERP, marketplaces), and whether you need migration from an existing store, which is why we scope each build individually instead of publishing package prices. Describe your store at /start and you get a scoped estimate within 48 hours.
