Converts
Online stores built for speed, trust and finished checkouts, on the right platform for you.
An online store lives or dies on details: load speed, product presentation, checkout friction and search visibility. Our ecommerce development gets those details right, with custom storefronts or Shopify builds chosen for your business model.
What’s included
Storefront Design & Build
Product pages, collections and checkout flows designed to convert, with a custom finish that looks like your brand rather than a marketplace listing.
Platform Done Right
Shopify where it fits, custom builds where it doesn't, with inventory, shipping, taxes and payments configured properly the first time.
Traffic-Ready
Ecommerce SEO basics (product schema, clean category structure, fast Core Web Vitals) built into the launch, so the store can earn traffic as well as buy it.
Conversion Is an Engineering Problem
Extra load time, an unnecessary checkout field, a layout that jumps on mobile: each one costs abandoned carts. We treat the storefront as a sales system that's tested for speed, structured for trust, and tracked so you can see where buyers drop off and what fixing it is worth.
The Fraser Valley Computers build shows the approach: a product storefront combined with repair booking and quote intake in one system, running in daily use.
What an Ecommerce Build Includes
Design of the home page, collection pages, product pages, cart and checkout. Product data set up with variants, images, specs and inventory. Payment gateways, shipping zones and rates, and Canadian tax settings. Order confirmation and shipping emails that match your brand. Analytics and conversion tracking for Google and Meta. Product and organization schema, a sitemap, and redirects from any old store.
We also train your team on adding products, running sales and handling orders, so the store doesn't depend on us for everyday work.
Beyond the Template Store
Off-the-shelf themes tend to produce the same generic store. We build stores with real brand presence, either custom design on top of Shopify's commerce engine or a fully custom storefront when the business model needs it: B2B pricing, quote requests, service booking or a mix of retail and services. The platform is chosen from your requirements in discovery.
Measuring What the Store Earns
A store should be able to tell you where its sales come from. We set up analytics with ecommerce tracking, so you can see revenue by traffic source, the products that get viewed but not bought, and the step where most carts are abandoned. Purchases are reported back to Google and Meta, so any ads you run optimize on real orders rather than clicks.
With that data in place, improvements stop being guesswork. If mobile shoppers drop out at shipping costs, we test showing shipping earlier. If one collection gets traffic but few sales, we look at its product pages. Small fixes like these, chosen from real numbers, often add more revenue than a redesign.
Ecommerce Development for BC Businesses
Selling from British Columbia has practical details that generic themes and overseas developers often miss: GST and PST collected correctly, Canadian carriers and local pickup, prices in Canadian dollars, and product pages that meet Canadian consumer expectations on returns and shipping costs. We set these up and test them with real orders before launch.
Frequently asked questions
Shopify, WooCommerce or custom: which is right?
Shopify suits most product retailers: strong checkout and operations with custom design on top. Custom builds win when the model doesn't fit, such as B2B pricing tiers, quoting, service booking or unusual fulfilment. We generally recommend against WooCommerce for new builds because of the WordPress maintenance it brings.
Can you migrate my existing store without losing sales or rankings?
Yes. That means full URL mapping and 301 redirects, product data checked for accuracy, reviews preserved where the platform allows, and a cutover plan that doesn't interrupt trading. Careless migrations lose rankings; careful ones usually hold them.
How much does an ecommerce website cost?
It depends on the platform, the number of products and variants, custom features like quoting or booking, and whether data is migrated from an old store. We fix scope and price after discovery, and we'll tell you if your stage of business doesn't justify custom work yet.
How long does it take to build an online store?
It depends mostly on catalogue size, custom features and data migration. We set a firm timeline with the scope after discovery, including time for test orders before launch.
Do you handle payments, shipping and taxes setup?
Yes. Payment gateways, shipping zones and rates, and tax configuration including GST and PST for BC are part of the build, tested end to end with real transactions before launch.
Will my store show up on Google and in AI shopping answers?
That's built in: product and offer schema, clean collection structure, fast load times and crawlable pages ship with every store. Those foundations also help ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend stores whose product data they can read. For ongoing growth, our ecommerce SEO service goes further.
Can my team manage products and orders without a developer?
Yes. Everyday work such as adding products, changing prices, running sales and fulfilling orders is done from the store admin. We train your team at handover.
Can an online store also take bookings or quote requests?
Yes. The Fraser Valley Computers build combines a product storefront with repair booking and quote intake. Stores that sell both products and services often work better as one system than as a shop and a separate booking tool.
