Websites and E-Commerce
Design is the part everyone looks at. What decides whether a store is worth owning is the catalog behind it, the checkout in front of it, and who is responsible when an order fails.

Tell us what the store has to do
Store projects arrive in four shapes. Which one you are in changes the first decision, not just the budget.
First store
Today the orders come through a marketplace, a social account or a phone. The build question is not what the store looks like, it is which parts of the operation move onto it first and which stay where they are for now.
Replatform
Usually one of three things: the catalog outgrew the structure, the running costs grew faster than the sales, or a change you need is the one thing the platform will not do. Which of those it is decides whether you rebuild or move.
Traffic without orders
The store works and the numbers do not. This is a checkout, merchandising and product-page problem far more often than a homepage problem, and the fix is usually smaller and duller than a redesign.
Outgrowing the platform
Stock, pricing, fulfillment and customer service all depend on it, and every workaround costs someone an hour a day. At this point the integrations matter more than the theme.
Two stores can look the same and cost completely different amounts to own. What separates them is decided before any design work starts.
Catalog structure is the first one. A hundred products in four categories is a different build from a hundred products that each come in three sizes, two finishes and a made-to-order option, because the second one has to express variants, stock per variant and rules about which combinations exist. That is not a design decision and it cannot be fixed with a template.
The second is how many places have to agree. If stock lives only in the store, the store is the truth. If it also lives in a warehouse system, an accounting package and a marketplace listing, then something has to reconcile four numbers, and that something is either an integration you paid for or a person doing it by hand every morning.
The third is the checkout. Every payment method, shipping rule, tax case and discount type is a rule the checkout has to express and someone has to maintain. Stores rarely get expensive because of how they look. They get expensive because of how many exceptions they have to handle correctly.
So the useful first conversation is not about design. It is about what the store has to do on an ordinary Tuesday, and who is responsible when an order fails.
If you are not sure a store is what you need yet, the broader web design decision covers what to build and who builds it. Everything we take on sits under our services, and the industries we work in shape what a catalog has to handle before anyone opens a design file.
| What it is good at | What it costs you | |
|---|---|---|
| A hosted store platform | Operations handled for you. Hosting, security, payment compliance and a large app market, with a store live quickly and no server to look after. | A monthly fee that grows, and an app fee for each thing the platform does not do natively. Customization stops where the platform stops, and leaving means rebuilding the storefront. |
| A store inside your own site | Catalog and content in one place, complete control of templates and structure, and no per-feature subscription stack. Strong when the content around the products is part of why people buy. | You own hosting, security and updates, or you pay somebody to. Cheaper to run and more yours, on the condition that somebody is genuinely looking after it. |
| A custom storefront | The right answer when the catalog, the pricing logic or the integrations are the business, and no platform expresses them without a fight. | The highest build cost and a real maintenance commitment. For most catalogs this is the expensive way to arrive somewhere a platform would have taken you. |
| A marketplace listing only | Demand on day one, no build, and someone else handles the transaction. | You are renting the customer. No relationship, limited control of pricing and presentation, and the terms are theirs to change. |
| Where Web Designer Factory sits | We pick the shape before the vendor, and we tell you when the smaller answer is the right one. Scope is written and signed before any build, and you own the code. | Nothing is locked to us. The store, the domain, the hosting and the code are yours from the first milestone, which is the point. |
Delivered work
Selected from our portfolio for what the build had to handle rather than for how recently it shipped.
Ecommerce website · Partner portal
A multilingual home-decor storefront with gated trade pricing for registered partners.
Retail visitors and trade partners use one responsive storefront, while role-based access keeps partner pricing and account features behind login.
Ecommerce website
A multi-location furniture-rental storefront with configurable lease options.
Customers can browse individual pieces or room packages, choose location and lease duration, and place rental orders online.
Before any build
What the store has to do, what is being built and what it costs, in writing. Catalog shape, checkout rules and integrations are settled here rather than discovered later.
Milestone one
We recommend the shape first and the platform second, and we say what the recommendation costs you as well as what it gives you.
Milestone two
Products, variants, customers and order history move with their structure intact, and old product URLs redirect to their new homes. This is where store projects most often go wrong, so it is its own step rather than a line in the build.
Milestone three
Product pages, cart and checkout are built and tested against the real rules before the decorative work, because a beautiful store with a broken tax case is a broken store.
30 days of support
You own the code, the domain and the hosting. Every project includes 30 days of post-launch support, and we hand over how to run it rather than keeping that knowledge.
$9,000 to $20,000+
Selling online, built to run rather than to launch
E-commerce stores run $9,000 to $20,000 or more depending on catalog size. Where a store lands in that range is decided by variant complexity, how many systems have to hold the same stock number, and how many payment, shipping and tax rules the checkout has to express. You receive a written scope before any figure is quoted.
What a website redesign actually costs in Dallas-Fort Worth: pricing tiers by scope, what drives a quote up or down, and the budgeting mistakes that cost businesses SEO equity during a redesign.
How sticky headers, pop-ups, and chat widgets each help or hurt conversions depending on timing and placement, with the specific fix for each, backed by Google's interstitial guidance and Nielsen Norman Group usability research.
E-commerce stores run $9,000 to $20,000 or more depending on catalog size. What moves the number is variant complexity, how many systems have to hold the same stock figure, how many payment and shipping rules the checkout has to express, and whether product content is written or migrated. A written scope comes before any figure we quote you.
It depends on which of three things is true. If operations matter more than customization, a hosted platform is usually right. If the content around your products is part of why people buy, a store inside your own site usually wins. If the catalog or the pricing logic is the business, a custom storefront earns its cost. We make that recommendation before we quote, not after.
Yes, and the plan for it is part of the scope rather than something handled at the end. Product and category URLs are mapped to their new homes and redirected, structured data is carried across, and the migration is checked against the old inventory rather than assumed.
They move with their structure intact. Variants stay attached to their products, customers keep their accounts and order history comes across. Where a source system stores something in a way the new one cannot express, we tell you before the migration rather than after.
Yes. You own the code, the domain, the hosting and the data from day one, with no lock-in and no dependency on us to reach your own store.
You can, and we hand over how. Some clients keep us on for changes and improvements and some do not, and we would rather tell you which parts genuinely need us than sell a retainer for the parts that do not.
Catalog size, where you sell today and what has to connect to it. Our team replies with a written scope.
