Velour Web

E-Commerce Websites · $8,000–$25,000+ · 4–8 weeks

E-commerce website development in San Diego

An e-commerce website from Velour Web is a custom online store with Stripe or Shopify checkout, hand-coded product and category pages built to rank, and inventory, shipping and tax set up for California. Stores cost $8,000 to $25,000 and up depending on catalog size and integrations, and take 4 to 8 weeks.

What a e-commerce website project includes

Off-the-shelf store themes are slow and look like every other store. We build the storefront by hand, so product pages load instantly and rank for the products people search for, and connect it to a checkout you already trust. Small catalogs run on Stripe; larger ones on Shopify with a custom front end.

  • Store structure and category planning based on what people search for
  • Custom storefront design for desktop and phone
  • Hand-coded product, category and collection pages with Product schema
  • Stripe checkout for small catalogs, or Shopify checkout with a custom front end
  • Inventory, shipping rates and California sales tax configuration
  • Order notification emails and a simple admin for products
  • Reviews, related products and abandoned-cart email where the platform supports them
  • Payment testing and a soft launch before the public launch
  • Search Console, sitemap and Merchant Center product feed

Process

How the project runs

  1. 01

    Scope

    Catalog size, payment platform, shipping rules and integrations, agreed in writing with a fixed quote.

  2. 02

    Design

    Storefront, product page and checkout flow designed for phones first.

  3. 03

    Build

    Storefront coded, products loaded, payments and shipping tested with real orders.

  4. 04

    Launch

    Soft launch to a small group, then public launch with the product feed submitted to Google.

Why it works

Why we build it this way

Store speed is revenue. Every second of load time on a product page costs conversions, and theme-based stores routinely take three to five seconds on a phone. A hand-coded storefront over a proven checkout gets the speed of custom code without rebuilding payments, fraud protection or PCI compliance.

FAQ

Questions about e-commerce websites

Shopify or a custom store?

Under about 50 products with simple shipping, a custom storefront with Stripe checkout is cheaper to run and fastest. Larger catalogs, multiple locations or complex shipping are better on Shopify with a custom front end, so you get Shopify's admin and our speed.

How much does an e-commerce website cost in San Diego?

$8,000 to $25,000 and up. A 30-product store with Stripe checkout sits at the low end. A 500-product Shopify store with custom filtering, subscriptions and integrations sits at the high end.

Can you migrate my existing store?

Yes. We export products, customers and order history where the platform allows, rebuild the storefront and redirect every old product URL so rankings carry over.

Do you handle sales tax and shipping?

We configure California sales tax, shipping zones and rates, and connect carriers through the checkout platform. Tax filing itself stays with your accountant.

Will my products show up on Google?

Product pages are built with Product schema and written descriptions, and we submit a product feed to Google Merchant Center so items can appear in Shopping results.
