Why Stores Stall
Marketplace and platform stores charge monthly and per-sale fees, limit your design, and own the customer relationship. Home-built stores often have confusing checkout, missing tax or shipping rules, or no way for customers to see past orders.
What This Service Does
We plan your catalog, design product and category pages, set up checkout, payments, shipping, and taxes, and add customer accounts. Everything runs on WooCommerce inside your WordPress site, so your store and your content live together.

FAQ
Questions About E-Commerce
How much does an online store cost?
E-commerce stores start at $6,500. Larger catalogs, custom features, or integrations are scoped as a Systems Build from $12,000. You get a written scope and fixed price before any work starts. Ongoing costs are hosting or a care plan and your payment processor fees.
How long does an online store take to build?
A typical store takes 6 to 8 weeks, and a Systems Build with custom features takes 8 to 14 weeks. The timeline is written into your scope. Having product photos, descriptions, and prices ready early is the biggest factor in launching on time.
Can you move my store from another platform?
In most cases, yes. We review your current store and plan how products, customers, and orders can move to WooCommerce. What can be moved depends on the platform. We list exactly what will and will not transfer in your written scope before work starts.
Do I own my store when it is finished?
Yes. After the final payment you own the store, its design, and its content. Your payment gateway account stays in your name. There are no platform fees from us on your sales, only your payment processor fees and your hosting or care plan.
