Services Related to eCommerce Development
Everything you need to know before hiring an eCommerce agency
How do eCommerce agencies support businesses’ long-term growth?
One of the most impactful ways eCommerce agencies support growth is by curating bespoke roadmaps according to their objectives and store size.
These firms study customer behavior, understand what a good shopping experience entails, can easily identify emerging trends, and adjust campaigns in real time.
One of the greatest challenge eCommerce businesses face are high cart abandonment rates. The average mobile cart abandonment rate in 2025 was 76.9%.
So, if performance data indicates that mobile users abandon carts at a higher rate than anticipated, eCommerce providers can optimize the mobile checkout and implement faster payment integrations.
ECommerce agencies can also help businesses expand their online sales by setting up and managing marketplace accounts, social commerce integrations, and omnichannel marketing.
These tactics are twofold beneficial: they diversify revenue streams and nurture resilience against market fluctuations.
Also, considering that the probability of selling to an existing customer is 60% to 70%, compared to just 5% to 20% for a new prospect, nurturing customer loyalty remains crucial for cost efficiency.
In that regard, eCommerce companies can propel businesses’ customer retention strategies through personalized email campaigns, loyalty programs, and customer experience optimization to make sure buyers keep coming back.


Can these firms help me determine if I need a store revamp or platform migration?
Yes, eCommerce companies offer audit services through which they analyze your current tech stack, performance metrics, site navigation, and user experience (UX) to provide an informed recommendation.
If your issues are purely visual or related to user flow, a simple design/functionality revamp will likely be sufficient.
If your issues are structural, security-related, or limiting your growth, a migration is likely required.
These audits are intended to identify friction points in the customer journey and bottlenecks causing high cart abandonment.
The technical assessment covers analysis of page load speeds, server response times, mobile optimization, code quality, outdates components, and security vulnerabilities.
Notably, if your backend functionality still meets your business needs, but the design is outdated, not converting well, the navigation is hard, or the features are on the older side, a re-design or front-end update will likely be the suggestion.
But, if the site crashes during peak traffic, cannot handle increased product/order volume, and the current platform cannot connect with third-party tools (ERP, CRM) or lacks essential, modern features, a platform migration will be recommended.
Overall, eCommerce agencies can calculate the total cost of ownership (TCO) and compare the costs of fixing your current, outdated system versus the investment in migrating to a new eCommerce platform.
How to choose the best eCommerce agency for my project?
When choosing between eCommerce companies, it’s important to take into consideration the following:
- Experience with the desired eCommerce platform
Review the agency’s portfolio to confirm it has hands-on experience with leading platforms such as Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce. - Conversion-oriented design practices
Read or inquire about their design processes. Make sure they are centered around conversion rates, A/B testing, and responsive design for mobile-first audiences. - Maximizing the data
Ask if the eCommerce agency uses analytics, heatmaps, and behavioral tracking to gain valuable insights into the user experience and eCommerce sales performance. - Diversity across industries
Experienced eCommerce companies are well-versed into the nuances of a wide range of industries such as online retail, fashion, financial services, technology, healthcare, and B2B commerce. - Proven measurable results
Review their past work and look for examples that demonstrate improvements in conversion rates, traffic, time-on-site, and most importantly, reduced cart abandonment. - Good industry standing
Read third-party reviews on Google and DesignRush to learn more about the firm’s creative output, reliability, communication, code quality, and overall, client satisfaction.
How can I find a specialist on DesignRush that fits my budget?
We compiled a list of eCommerce companies across different price points to help you find a vendor that’s within your spending expectations.
| High budget: $50,000+ |
|
| Low budget: $25,000 to $50,000 |
|
You can try our directory’s handy filters that narrow down agencies by hourly rate, service type, reviews, location, team size, and more.
What questions should I ask eCommerce companies before signing a contract?
Before signing a contract with an eCommerce agency, consider asking some of the following questions to determine the candidate’s fit:
Relevant Background
- How long have you been working on eCommerce stores?
- What type of eCommerce websites have you developed recently?
- Can you send us your portfolio?
- Would you be willing to work with a small business?
Services and Processes
- What platforms do you specialize in?
- Do you do platform migrations?
- What’s included in your base fee? What additional charges do I need to expect?
- What SEO best practices do you follow while building an online store?
- Which development methodologies do you follow?
Related to Your Project
- How will our team be kept in the development loop?
- Based on our requirements, what kind of budget will we need to allocate towards this project?
- What will be required from our end during the project?
- What kind of support can we expect after the launch?

Agencies can also reach out to DesignRush and must go through the verification process prior to being listed.
Frequently Asked Questions About eCommerce Companies
What services do eCommerce agencies provide?
ECommerce companies offer development and design services that cover the entire digital commerce ecosystem. Primarily, they ideate, design, build, maintain, and optimize web sites for Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and custom platforms.
Their core eCommerce portfolio is often complemented by digital marketing services such as search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC), content marketing, and conversion rate optimization (CRO), to name a few. Other key services include performance tracking, audience research, product listing optimizing, inventory management, sponsored ad management, and online marketplace management for Amazon, eBay, and Etsy.
How much do these services cost?
ECommerce web development costs from $5,000 to $20,000+, with the platform choice and development complexity accounting for the biggest fraction of the cost. Namely, the platform determines how much of the work is handled out of the box and how much of custom development eCommerce providers will need to do. Businesses can choose between DIY website builders, platform-based builds with customizations, and bespoke builds.
Of the three, platform-based builds with agency customizations are the preferred choice among businesses, wherein the cost is affected by the design of the storefront, the UX flows, the checkout and cart customization requirements, the product catalog structure, and the additional integrations pertaining to payment, shipping, and inventory. Here’s what to expect:
- Web development: $3,000 to $20,000
- Front-end development: $3,000 to $10,000+
- Back-end development: $5,000 to $20,000
For bespoke and enterprise builds, the price can exceed $50,000 for the combined development effort.
How long does it take eCommerce companies to build a website?
On average, eCommerce agencies need between 4 and 7 months to build a fully-functioning, responsive eCommerce site. The work is divided into design, wireframing, web development, and marketing preparations. Here’s how long each phase entails:
- CMS and web hosting: 1 to 2 weeks
- Objectives defining and information architecture planning: 1 to 3 weeks
- Low-fidelity wireframing: 1 to 2 weeks
- High-fidelity wireframing: 2 to 3 weeks
- Web development: 4 to 10 weeks
- Marketing and brand preparation: 4 to 6 weeks
- Launch and final quality assurance: A few days
Are there additional costs for eCommerce development services?
Yes, the majority of eCommerce development projects come with additional costs for hosting, domain fees, premium themes or plugins, payment gateway fees, and third-party app integrations. In addition to the base fee for the B2C/B2B eCommerce agency, businesses also need to budget for maintenance, security updates, content uploads, inventory setup, and performance optimization.
How long after working with eCommerce agencies businesses typically see ROI?
While benefits related to inventory visibility and automated order processing can be seen almost immediately, considerable return on investment (ROI) can be experienced within 6 to 9 months after working with eCommerce companies. The value comes in the form of reduced manual order processing, better stock accuracy, faster order fulfillment, lower administrative overhead, and better customer service.
