Explained
What is ecommerce website development?
Ecommerce website development is the design and build of a website where customers browse a catalog, add products to a cart and pay online. It covers the storefront, the checkout and the connections to payment, shipping and analytics.
A store differs from a brochure website because errors cost sales directly. A confusing category, a slow product page or a failed payment all show up as lost orders.

Shopify suits stores that want hosting and checkout managed for them. WooCommerce suits stores that need full control or already run on WordPress. We recommend one after reviewing your catalog and process.
