Building a Shopify store

The most basic and simplest definition of ecommerce is digital commerce. The word consists of an English combination of the words internet and commerce and the reference here is to any kind of commerce that is done online - whether it is shopping for furniture, food, clothing or anything else. Most of the time, when we talk about ecommerce, we refer to those websites that are actually digital stores and this is where the leading platform called Shopify comes into the picture. We will immediately go through all the steps in the process, but first we will explain - what does it even mean to build a Shopify store?

As mentioned, Shopify is actually a system for building online stores. Its advantages are many, but there is no doubt that the main thing here is its ease of operation and the fact that it can be managed quickly by more or less any user. Building a Shopify store is a complete process that includes thinking about an idea, branding and implementing an online store, when at the end of the process you can start making actual sales. With the WeDev company, the process is much simpler, intuitive and efficient, and has a high level of adaptation of a high-quality website to the needs of each store and brand. Let's now go over the main steps in the process of setting up Shopify sites.

Characterization of the Shopify store

The first step is actually the most important foundation for any successful Shopify website. The characterization is actually a complete process in which all the needs, the challenges and the goals of business owners who wish to establish an online store are precisely defined and then the required features of such a website are defined accordingly, in such a way that it will suit their needs and goals. This step is done in full cooperation between the client and the experts at WeDev with the clear goal of reaching a finished product that reflects the vision of the brand.

Correct and accurate planning

A website that is actually used as a store has a clear goal - bringing in profits. Therefore, before setting out, a clear road map with dates and deadlines for all the different stages in the process must be precisely defined, which essentially guarantees that the website will go live as soon as possible and will not get stuck at different stages. This schedule will include all the steps until the site goes live, including dates for meetings where you can get an impression of the pace of progress, share clarifications and comments, and refine the site.

the development process

This is where the work of WeDev's shopify experts actually begins, whether it is the website builders, the content manager, the SEO experts, the graphic designers and other officials. This happens after defining tasks precisely (including breaking them down into smaller tasks), setting clear timetables for the process and defining the way of cooperation between the teams until the finished product goes live.

tests and take-off

After this effort, comes the point where the site is ready. At this stage it is still not being put on the air, because it is necessary to conduct a series of different tests whose purpose is to examine the user experience and, in fact, whether the site works and looks as it should in all respects: at the design level, at the technical level, at the clearing in it and other elements. After a series of comprehensive tests and only when you are sure that the site was built precisely according to the needs and characterization, you can open the champagne and put it on the air - a new web store has emerged into the world.

the development process

The main advantage is undoubtedly the development process which is efficient, fast and customized. Choosing Shopify is the safe choice for anyone who wants to go live as soon as possible without any unnecessary problems. It is also worth noting that beyond the efficiency of the process, it is also a very enjoyable process and it is always exciting to see how an idea takes shape.

Secure and efficient storage

The storage of Shopify websites is of course on the company's servers, a very important advantage. We are talking here about reliable, strong and above all safe servers, so you can be quiet and know that your customers' information will not leak or leak and put the name of your brand in danger.

App store and other add-ons

The choice in Shopify also includes the app store with a host of add-ons that will ensure a user experience that is not only excellent, but mostly personally adapted to the store's brand spirit. Of course, after the initial design process, you can replace and change plugins and features if necessary.

Adjusting SEO in the perfect way

Shopify stores are perfectly optimized for SEO promotion. What exactly does that mean? that after the website goes live, it will be much easier and simpler to make it one that appears organically in the first places in the search results on Google and other search engines.

A free hand in designing and adapting to the customer

Unlike other platforms, Shopify is such a platform that does not force customers to conform to fixed templates. The free hand allows for precise adjustment and makes each Shopify store unique, which inevitably affects the traffic to it and ultimately also the volume of sales.
