Frequently Asked Questions
WooCommerce offers the best balance of flexibility, ownership, and cost-effectiveness. Unlike Shopify, you have 100% control over your code and data. Unlike Magento, it's more user-friendly and has a lower total cost of ownership, while still being incredibly powerful and extendable for custom needs.
While a basic store can start around $5,000, a truly custom, high-performance store with unique features and integrations typically ranges from $15,000 to $50,000+. The final cost depends entirely on the complexity of the design, the number of custom features, and the extent of third-party integrations.
A standard project takes 8-12 weeks from discovery to launch. This includes time for UI/UX design, development, testing, and content population. More complex projects, like marketplaces or sites with heavy ERP integration, can take 4-6 months.
