E-commerce Platforms

Not sure which platform fits? Here's how to think about it.

Shopify

  • The right call if you want to focus on selling, not maintaining
  • Launch fast and manage everything from one simple dashboard
  • Handles hosting, security, and updates so you don't have to

WooCommerce

  • Built into WordPress — good if you already have a site there
  • More flexibility than Shopify for complex pricing and product rules
  • Lower monthly cost but more to maintain

Custom Solutions

  • For when neither Shopify nor WooCommerce fits your business model
  • Subscription systems, multi-vendor setups, member pricing
  • I'll tell you honestly if you actually need this or if simpler will do

WooCommerce is better if you want full control, lower transaction fees, and the ability to customize everything. It is more cost-effective at scale but requires active maintenance.

For established businesses with specific needs or high volume, WooCommerce offers more flexibility and better margins.

Timeline depends on how quickly you can provide product information, images, and make decisions on design. Every project includes a clear timeline during planning so you know what to expect before anything starts.
