Yes, we build eCommerce websites.

We can build an eCommerce website for you.  We can also help you set up payment methods and shipping options.

We have worked with several eCommerce platforms.  Opinions differ, however we have found WooCommerce for WordPress one of the best and scalable platform for eCommerce.  Since it is popular you can extend the functionality with additional plug-ins.

WooCommerce is an open source software, therefore is the least expensive eCommerce platform. ZenCart and OSCommerce are also open source eCommerce platforms.  However, it is time-consuming to upgrade them.

Shopify, WIX, Go Daddy Website Builder are proprietary software, therefore cost more.  In the long run, they can be expensive depending upon the options you select.  Also, there is a limit to how much you can customize them.

However, whoever tells you that they can place you #1 on Google is not trustworthy.  We strictly do white hat SEO.  Some marketing companies may play gimmicks to gouge customers, making false promises and telling them there are errors/issues with your existing website.  Do not waste money on such companies, most of them are frauds.  Even Google gets emails telling them that they will put on the top.
