Our 4-Step Process

  • 1.Discovery & Strategy

    Every ecommerce project starts with discovery, where our team works together with customer stakeholders to identify and understand the vision, goals, objectives, and other important details about the project.

    The success of an ecommerce project is largely determined by the strategy. Our WooCommerce developers will analyze all the information gathered in the discovery meeting(s) and use that information, along with your branding, to build a winning ecommerce strategy.

  • 2.Content + Design

    The combination of an ecommerce website’s content, products, layout, design, and workflows make up the user experience. If your target audience doesn’t have a positive experience, it can reflect poorly on your brand.

    We design stunning ecommerce websites that are engaging and simple to use. We accomplish that by using visual calls-to-action (CTAs), intuitive navigation, consistent branding, simple checkouts, and minimal WordPress plugins.

    From content acquisition to wireframes and design concepts, our team will create a vibrant and engaging shopping experience that your audiences will love. Our ecommerce websites are designed to sell with maximum impact.

  • 3.Build + Test

    Once all the previous phases are complete, our skilled WooCommerce developers roll up their sleeves and build the ecommerce website based on the designed blueprint. The website is then put through Alpha and Beta test cycles to ensure that the ecommerce website is prepared for launch.

  • 4.Launch + Support

    Launching the ecommerce store is an exciting time! All the hard work between the customer and the Oracast team has come to fruition, however it’s not the end of our relationship. Once the ecommerce website has been launched, we provide reliable post-launch support including WordPress security, WordPress monthly updates, and fully managed WordPress hosting while remaining committed to your on-going success.

How to Prepare for your Ecommerce Project

How to Prepare for your Ecommerce Project

Preparing for your ecommerce project is important, but it doesn’t have to be complex. The more information and clarity that you can provide us the better, however if you don’t know where to begin these preparation tips are for you:

  • What is your vision behind this ecommerce website?
  • What are your specific goals?
  • Who are your best customers?
  • Who are your competitors?
  • Do you have a brand guide?
  • How many products are you selling?
  • What are the different types of products that you’re selling?
  • Do you want your products to show public comments and ratings?
  • Do you have a payment provider in mind?
  • Do you have shipping policies available?
  • Do you want real-time shipping prices?
  • What is your budget for this project?

Having answers to the above questions will help you prepare for your ecommerce website project and make our initial meeting(s) more productive.

WordPress & WooCommerce Security

WooCommerce and WordPress security is of vital importance when building an ecommerce store. As the digital landscape evolves and more business activities and personal information are conducted through ecommerce websites, such as credit card transactions for example, the need for robust security measures has become critical.

Cybersecurity is a field that requires 24×7 vigilance and constant adaptation. That’s why we build our ecommerce websites with security in mind, and why we created our Shieldwall WordPress Security product.

Protecting the integrity of your data, and your reputation, is critically important to us.

Let's Talk Ecommerce Costs

How much does an ecommerce website cost?

The short answer: $10,000 – infinity (and beyond!)

Price range caveats:

Like anything, the cost of your ecommerce website will depend on the scope of the project. Consider this: you wouldn’t expect to buy a mansion for condo prices if you were in the housing market. The same applies to ecommerce websites. You can have all the fancy bells and whistles right out of the gate, or you can just get the job done and then add more products or features later in a phased approach. It’s our job to evaluate your project and design an ecommerce website that is within your budget, regardless of whether it has all the bells and whistles or just needs to get the job done.

Phased approach for ecommerce websites:

Knowing your preliminary budget is important to us because we want to build you an ecommerce store that fits with your budget (go figure!), however not all customers have the budget to immediately turn their entire vision into a reality. Selling 10 products is very different than selling thousands, so depending on the scope of your project, we may need to build the ecommerce website in phases. In this scenario, Phase 1 would include only the core products and features, and additional products can be planned for a later phase. Going back to the house analogy, let’s build the house first and worry about finishing the basement later.

Determining cost factors:

As mentioned earlier, the price of an ecommerce website will largely depend on the scope of the project. Many factors go into determining the scope of the project such as the time required for thorough planning, designs and branding, the number of products you wish to sell, the types of products you wish to sell, and other features including payment processing, shipping, product ratings, and of course development time, testing, deploying the ecommerce website, and project management.
