## What's included in our e-commerce web design

Everything you need to launch an online store that looks great, works smoothly, and converts browsers into buyers.

### Store Design

A beautiful, branded storefront that builds trust and makes browsing your products enjoyable.

### WooCommerce & Shopify

We build on the platform that fits your business. Expert setup and customisation for both.

### Payment Integration

Stripe, PayPal, Afterpay, POLi, and more. We connect the payment methods your customers prefer.

### Product Pages That Sell

Product layouts designed to answer questions, build confidence, and drive the "add to cart" click.

### Checkout Optimisation

A streamlined checkout that reduces friction and cart abandonment. Fewer steps, more completed orders.

### Mobile Commerce

Over 60% of online shopping happens on mobile. Your store will look and work perfectly on every device.

## Why invest in professional e-commerce design

Online shoppers decide in seconds whether they trust your store enough to buy. A professional design builds that trust instantly. Clean product pages, smooth navigation, and a frictionless checkout turn browsers into paying customers.

The average cart abandonment rate is 70%. Most of that is caused by poor UX, slow loading, complicated checkouts, or lack of trust signals. We design stores that tackle every one of those problems head-on.

### What this means for you

Sell 24/7

Your online store never closes. Customers can browse and buy from anywhere, any time.

Higher conversion rate

A well-designed store converts more visitors into buyers. Better product pages, smoother checkout, more sales.

Easy to manage

Add products, update prices, and manage orders yourself. We set everything up so it's simple to run.

Built to scale

Start with 10 products or 10,000. Your store grows with your business without needing a rebuild.

## How it works

A clear four-step process from discovery to launch. You're involved at every stage and trained to manage your store independently.

01

### Discovery

We learn about your products, customers, and goals. We review competitors and identify what will make your store stand out.

02

### Design

You see mockups of your store, product pages, and checkout flow. We refine until it feels right for your brand.

03

### Develop

We build your store on your chosen platform, set up payments, shipping, and inventory management.

04

### Launch & Train

Your store goes live. We train you on managing products, orders, and day-to-day operations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We have got answers. Here are some common questions about working with us.

[Ask a Question](https://www.lucidmedia.co.nz/contact/)

**Should I use Shopify or WooCommerce?**

Both are excellent. Shopify is ideal if you want simplicity and don't need heavy customisation. It handles hosting, security, and updates for you. WooCommerce (on WordPress) offers more flexibility and is better if you need custom features or already have a WordPress site. We'll recommend the right platform based on your specific needs.

**How much does an e-commerce website cost?**

E-commerce sites typically range from $5,000 to $20,000+ depending on the number of products, custom features, and platform. A basic Shopify store with 20-50 products is on the lower end, while a custom WooCommerce build with advanced features is on the higher end. We provide fixed-price quotes after understanding your needs.

**Can you migrate my existing online store?**

Yes. We regularly migrate stores between platforms, whether that's moving from an outdated system to Shopify, or from a basic Shopify theme to a custom design. We handle product data, customer information, and URL redirects to make the transition smooth.

**Do you help with product photography?**

We can provide guidance on product photography best practices and recommend photographers we trust. We also optimise all product images for fast loading without sacrificing quality.

**What about shipping and tax setup?**

We configure shipping zones, rates, and tax settings for New Zealand (including GST). Whether you need flat rate, weight-based, or real-time carrier shipping, we set it up so it's accurate and easy for your customers.

**Will my store be found on Google?**

Yes. We build every store with SEO best practices from day one. That includes proper product schema markup, optimised URLs, meta descriptions, and site speed. For ongoing SEO, we can connect you with our search engine optimisation team.
