Ecommerce Build Packages
Three tiers to match where your business is today — and where it's headed. Every package includes design, development, and a post-launch window so you're never left on your own.
Starter Store
Small businesses launching their first online store.
60–80% of ecommerce clients need ongoing help after launch. Retainers keep your store secure, fast, and converting — without the overhead of an in-house team.
The right platform depends on your products, budget, and growth goals — not a one-size-fits-all answer. We've worked across all four and will recommend what actually fits.
Shopify
Best for most SMBs. Hosted, fast to launch, and ecosystem-rich. Theme customization, app integrations, and Shopify Payments setup included.
WooCommerce
The WordPress-native choice. Full control over hosting, data, and code. Ideal when you need flexibility or already have a WordPress site.
Magento (Adobe Commerce)
For stores with complex catalogs, B2B requirements, or multi-store needs. Enterprise-grade capabilities with full customization freedom.
Headless Storefront
Decouple your frontend from your commerce backend for maximum speed and flexibility. Built with modern frameworks, API-first, and AI-ready by default.
Add-On Services
Standalone engagements that complement a build or extend an existing store's capabilities — available independently or bundled with any package.
Ecommerce SEO Audit
Technical SEO audit, competitor keyword analysis, product page optimization, and schema markup implementation. One-time engagement, $750–$2,500.
Email Marketing Automation
Klaviyo or Mailchimp integration with welcome series, abandoned cart, and post-purchase flows. Setup from $2,000–$5,000; ongoing management available.

How It Works
A clear four-step process from kickoff to a live, converting store.
1
Discovery & Strategy
We learn your products, audience, competitors, and goals. Platform recommendation, feature scope, and a project timeline are agreed before any design begins.
2
Design & Prototype
Figma wireframes and UI mockups built to your brand. You review and approve before a single line of code is written — no surprise pivots mid-build.
3
Build & Configure
Platform setup, theme development, product loading, payment gateways, shipping, email automation, and SEO groundwork — everything production-ready.
4
Launch & Support
Pre-launch checklist, live cutover, training session, and a post-launch support window so you're confident from day one. Retainer options available after support ends.
Why Choose Conxion Visual Communications for Ecommerce
Senior expertise, AI differentiation, and full-stack capability — at a price that doesn't require a Shopify Plus budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about ecommerce builds, retainers, and working with Conxion Visual Communications.
For most small businesses launching their first store, Shopify or WooCommerce is the right starting point. Shopify is faster to launch and easier to manage; WooCommerce gives you more control and integrates directly with an existing WordPress site. Magento is better suited to businesses with complex catalogs or B2B requirements. Headless makes sense when you need maximum performance or are building a custom frontend experience. We'll recommend what's right for your situation during discovery — not just what's easiest to build.
Every package includes a post-launch support window (30 days for Starter, 60 days for Professional, 90 days for Enterprise). During that period we fix any bugs or configuration issues discovered after go-live, help with device-specific questions, and answer how-to questions about managing your store. It doesn't cover new features or scope additions — those are handled through a retainer or a new project.
Not required, but strongly recommended. Ecommerce platforms release updates, plugins have compatibility issues, and security patches need applying — all of which can break a store if left unattended. Most active stores benefit from at least the Basic Retainer ($200–$400/mo). If you're driving traffic and generating revenue, the Growth or Premium tier pays for itself many times over by keeping your store performing well.
Unlike most ecommerce developers who use cloud-based AI APIs, we specialize in local LLM deployments — meaning the AI runs on your infrastructure, not a third-party server. This enables customer service chatbots with full knowledge of your product catalog, semantic search that understands natural language queries, and agentic automation pipelines that handle inventory alerts, order triage, and content generation without human intervention. These are available as Enterprise add-ons or standalone engagements.
Yes. Platform migrations — such as moving from Shopify to WooCommerce, or from a legacy custom store to a modern headless build — are handled as part of the relevant package tier. We migrate product data, customer records, order history, and SEO URL structures to minimize traffic loss and downtime during the switch.
Product description writing is included in the Professional and Enterprise packages. For photography, we provide detailed shot-list guidance and image optimization — and can coordinate with a local photographer partner when needed. Raw images or existing assets provided by you are always preferred and will speed up the build timeline.
Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, and most major gateways are supported out of the box. The Starter package includes a single gateway; Professional and Enterprise packages include multi-gateway setup with buy-now-pay-later options (Klarna, Afterpay) available as add-ons.
Build packages are quoted as flat project rates based on scope, so you know the cost before work begins. Add-on services and retainers are priced as flat monthly fees or fixed engagements. Hourly billing ($75/hr) is available for smaller, out-of-scope requests after a project is live. We don't bill surprise overages — if scope changes materially, we discuss it before proceeding.
