Why We Lead With WooCommerce

WooCommerce is our platform of choice for most e-commerce businesses — and for good reason. WooCommerce is built on WordPress, which means:

We build WooCommerce stores that are optimized for performance, user experience, SEO, and conversions from day one.

Our WooCommerce Services Include:

Whether you’re launching your first online store or rebuilding an existing one that’s underperforming, we build WooCommerce sites that are made to sell — not just look good.

Optional Integrations & Enhancements:

More Than Just a Store — A Complete E-Commerce System

An e-commerce website should work as part of a bigger system. We build stores that integrate smoothly with the tools you already use or plan to use. If your store can run more efficiently, generate more repeat customers, or save you time — we’ll build it that way.

Shopify & Square Setup and Management

While WooCommerce is our specialty, we understand that not every business needs or wants a fully self-hosted platform. That’s why we also provide setup and management for Shopify and Square Online stores.

We’ll help you choose the right platform based on your business model, budget, and long-term goals — not just what’s trendy.

Square Online Services

For businesses already using Square for in-person sales, Square Online can be a seamless extension. We assist with:

Frequently Asked Questions about E-commerce Stores

How much does it cost to build an online store?

Simpson Web Design quotes every online store on its own, based on how many products you sell, the platform and the features you need. Most stores fall between $599 & $1,299. You get an exact written quote after a free consultation.

An online store has three ongoing costs: hosting, payment processing fees and any paid apps or plugins. E-commerce hosting and management from Simpson Web Design starts at $64.99/month ($779.88/year). Payment processors such as Stripe and PayPal charge a percentage plus a small flat fee on each sale.
