Choosing between Shopify vs WooCommerce usually comes down to control vs convenience.

• Shopify (hosted) is best if you want a fast, reliable, low-maintenance store with built-in hosting, automatic security, and simple checkout flows. You’ll pay platform fees, but you avoid server, PCI, and hosting headaches. Shopify is ideal for merchants who want to launch quickly, scale reliably, and use apps for marketing, subscriptions, and analytics.

• WooCommerce (self-hosted on WordPress) is best if you want complete control over design, database access, and advanced customizations. WooCommerce fits brands that need custom product logic, complex integrations (ERP, PIM), or advanced content marketing alongside the store. It’s typically more flexible and cost-effective at scale, but you’ll manage hosting, updates, and security.

Decision checklist: expected monthly traffic, need for complex product rules, preference for managed hosting, budget for apps and hosting, and developer resources. If you need help choosing, we evaluate your catalog size, marketing plan, and technical needs and recommend Shopify if you want fast time-to-market, or WooCommerce if you need full customization and content-first SEO.

Webflow vs WordPress depends on the balance you want between visual design control and extensibility.

• Webflow gives designers pixel-perfect control, modern interactions/animations, and clean semantic output without plugins. It’s great for marketing sites, portfolios, startups, and teams that want fast, visually rich pages plus a straightforward CMS. Webflow produces SEO-friendly HTML/CSS and simplifies hosting and performance optimization.

• WordPress is the most extensible CMS, with thousands of plugins for SEO, ecommerce (WooCommerce), membership, LMS, and more. WordPress is the better choice for content-heavy sites, large blogs, or projects needing specialized plugins or integration with other systems.

SEO considerations: both platforms can be SEO-optimized. Webflow has clean code and built-in features (sitemaps, meta tags). WordPress benefits from powerful SEO plugins (Yoast/Rank Math) and content workflows. We recommend Webflow for design-driven, marketing sites and WordPress for content scale, complex integrations, and WooCommerce stores.

Timelines and costs vary with scope, but here are realistic ranges and milestones to set expectations:

• Basic One-Page / Starter Site: Timeline: 3–7 days. Typical investment: low one-time fee. Includes responsive layout, basic SEO setup, contact form, and testing.

• Small Business / Multi-Page Site (WordPress or Webflow): Timeline: 2–4 weeks. Typical investment: moderate one-time fee. Includes up to ~5–8 pages, basic on-page SEO, blog setup, Google Analytics, and speed tuning.

• Ecommerce Store (Shopify / WooCommerce): Timeline: 3–8 weeks. Typical investment: mid-range to advanced depending on catalog size, payment/shipping rules, and custom checkout flows. Includes product import, payment gateway, tax/shipping config, and CRO work.

• Custom Web App / Headless E-commerce or Complex Integrations: Timeline: 8–16+ weeks. Typical investment: enterprise or bespoke pricing. Includes APIs, ERP/CRM integration, advanced search, PIM, and custom dashboards.

All quotes are tailored — we always begin with a discovery call, followed by a clear scope, milestones, and delivery dates. We emphasize affordable pricing and fast turnaround while keeping quality and SEO in focus.

Yes — successful migrations protect SEO equity through a careful, phased process:

1. Audit & planning: map current URLs, top organic pages, backlinks, and traffic sources.

2. Staging migration: recreate content and structure on a staging site.

3. 301 redirect plan: implement precise 301 redirects for every changed URL to preserve ranking signals and avoid 404s.

4. Metadata & structured data: carry over meta titles/descriptions, schema, and canonical tags.

5. Post-launch QA & monitoring: monitor indexing, crawl errors, traffic dips, and fix issues rapidly.

We prioritize preserving search rankings and referral traffic. For large store migrations (thousands of SKUs) we run chunked imports and parallel testing to avoid downtime. If you’re moving to Shopify, WooCommerce, or Webflow, we’ll ensure product data, reviews, and order history migrate cleanly and SEO is maintained.

Speed is a ranking factor and conversion driver. Our site speed optimization process includes:

• Performance audit: Lighthouse, WebPageTest, real-user monitoring to find LCP, FID, CLS issues.

• Image optimization: responsive images, WebP/AVIF, proper sizing, and lazy loading.

• Asset optimization: minify and combine CSS/JS where appropriate, defer noncritical scripts, remove unused CSS.

• Critical rendering: inline critical CSS, prioritize above-the-fold content.

• Caching & CDN: configure cache headers, edge CDN, and server-side caching (Redis / Varnish) for WordPress; leverage Shopify’s CDN; optimize Webflow hosting settings.

• Third-party script management: audit and defer tracking/ads/chat scripts.

• Server tuning: upgrade PHP, optimize database indexes, use HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 where possible.

We measure improvements against Core Web Vitals (LCP <2.5s, FID <100ms or INP equivalent, CLS <0.1) and provide ongoing monitoring so gains are lasting.
