Our Process:

Discovery & Strategy

We start by understanding your products, customers, competitors and commercial objectives. This allows us to create an e-commerce strategy that considers everything from product structure and customer journeys to payments, shipping and conversion.

UX & Customer Journey

The website is planned around how your customers actually shop. From product discovery and navigation through to checkout, clear and intuitive journeys make it easy for customers to find products, understand their options and complete their purchase.

Design

A distinctive, on-brand design brings your products to life while keeping usability at the heart of the experience. Every element is carefully considered to build confidence, communicate value and encourage customers to take action.

Website Development

We build your e-commerce website using a robust platform such as WordPress and WooCommerce, creating a flexible system that is tailored to your requirements. We develop the functionality, product management, customer accounts, payments and other integrations needed to run your online store.

Optimisation

Before launch, we thoroughly test the website across devices, browsers and key customer journeys. We check products, payments, forms, shipping, performance and functionality to ensure everything works as it should and identify opportunities to improve the customer experience.

Launch & Ongoing Support

Once everything is ready, we manage the website launch and make sure the transition is as smooth as possible. We can then provide ongoing hosting, security, updates, technical support and optimisation to keep your e-commerce website secure, reliable and performing effectively.

Any questions?
Here are some things we think you might want to know.

  • What is an E-commerce website?

    An e-commerce site is an online platform that facilitates the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet. They enable your business to reach a global audience to make sales 24/7.

  • How do I know if an E-commerce website is right for me?

    E-commerce sites are best suited towards businesses that would like to offer their products and services to people over the internet. Determining if an e-commerce site is right for you also depends on various factors, including your business goals, products, target audience, and your capacity to manage online transactions.

  • What is the process of creating an E-Commerce website?

    The ecommerce website development​ process typically involves an initial consultation with you to discuss your requirements and to figure out if a budget or bespoke website would better suit your needs. Foster & Scott would then design and customise a sample website to suit your brand needs and test to make sure your website is the best it can be. Then once we get the go-ahead from you, your E-Commerce site is ready to go live.

  • How do you develop E-commerce websites?

    We use WordPress and WooCommerce to create flexible, scalable e-commerce websites tailored around your products and customers. WordPress provides the content management system, while WooCommerce handles the online shop functionality, including products, categories, baskets, checkout, payments and orders. We can also integrate additional functionality such as shipping, customer accounts, email automation and third-party systems, creating an e-commerce platform that is easy to manage and built to grow with your business.

  • How long does it take to develop an E-Commerce website?

    The timeline for ecommerce website development services​ can vary depending on the complexity of your requirements. A budget E-Commerce website could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks, whereas a bespoke E-Commerce website could take a few weeks to several months.

  • How much does it cost to develop an E-Commerce website?

    The cost of an E-Commerce site varies based on factors like design complexity, features, functionality and whether a budget or bespoke website works best for your business. As a leading ecommerce website development company​, we will work to find an option that aligns to your business and budget.

  • What ongoing maintenance is needed for an E-Commerce website?

    E-commerce websites require regular maintenance to keep them fully secure and up to date. This includes software updates, security patches, and content updates. As part of our ecommerce website development​ services, we also offer ongoing support and hosting solutions.
