Top Rated eCommerce Web Design in Savannah, GA
Most online stores look good in screenshots but fail at actually selling products. High cart abandonment rates, confusing checkout processes, product pages that don’t provide the information shoppers need.
I’ve been building online stores for years, and I’ve learned there’s a significant difference between a website that sells products and one that just displays them.
What I Build For Online Stores
Stores That Make Sense to Shop
Your customers shouldn’t need to figure out how to buy from you. I design stores with intuitive navigation, clear “add to cart” buttons, and streamlined checkout processes that don’t cause people to abandon their purchase.
The easier you make it to buy, the more you sell.
Works on Every Device
Your customers are shopping on their phones – during lunch breaks, while commuting, late at night. If your site doesn’t work perfectly on mobile, you’re losing sales.
I ensure everything functions smoothly on phones, tablets, and desktops. Your store works wherever your customers are.
The Right Platform for Your Business
Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce – each platform has different strengths and limitations. I recommend whatever actually makes sense for your products, your budget, and your technical comfort level.
WooCommerce works well for businesses that want WordPress integration and complete control over their site.
Shopify is ideal for businesses that want a fully-hosted solution with minimal technical maintenance.
BigCommerce fits businesses with large catalogs needing advanced features without apps.
I’ll explain the pros and cons of each for your specific situation.
SEO That Brings in Buyers
A beautiful store that nobody can find doesn’t generate revenue. I optimize your product pages so people discover you when searching for what you sell.
Plus fast loading speeds – because customers don’t wait for slow websites. They leave and buy from your competitor.
Checkout That Builds Trust
Abandoned carts often happen because the payment process feels insecure or confusing. I set up trusted payment options (Stripe, PayPal, Square) that make customers feel confident providing their payment information.
Security badges, clear return policies, and professional presentation all build trust at the crucial moment when someone decides to buy.
Easy Product Management
You shouldn’t need technical expertise to add new products or update inventory. I set up admin systems that are straightforward to use, so you can focus on running your business instead of struggling with your website.
Real Results From E-commerce Projects
Manufacturing Business Goes Online
I worked with a saw blade manufacturer who had been selling exclusively through phone orders and trade shows for decades. He was skeptical that “anyone would buy saw blades online.”
We built a comprehensive online store with detailed product specifications, compatibility charts, and bulk pricing options.
Turns out plenty of DIY enthusiasts and small shop owners prefer ordering online at 2 AM rather than calling during business hours. His online sales reached $50,000 in the first year – from a channel he thought wouldn’t work.
Beautiful Store That Wasn’t Selling
A client had a Shopify store that looked professional but generated almost no sales. The issues: poor product photography, confusing descriptions, and an eight-step checkout process.
We improved the product presentation, clarified descriptions, and streamlined checkout to three steps. Sales increased 150% within three months – same products, same traffic, just fewer obstacles between browsing and buying.
The lesson: Your online store needs to remove friction, not create it. Every extra click, every confusing element, every slow-loading page costs you money.
What Actually Drives Online Sales
Trust Signals
Customer reviews, security badges, clear return policies, professional design – all signal that you’re legitimate and safe to buy from.
Quality Product Photography
Customers can’t touch or examine your products in person. Your photos need to show everything they’d want to see: multiple angles, detail shots, products in use, size comparisons.
Clear, Detailed Descriptions
Tell people exactly what they’re buying and why they need it. Answer common questions in the description so they don’t have to contact you before purchasing.
Simple Checkout Process
The fewer steps between “add to cart” and “order complete,” the better. Every additional step increases the chance someone abandons their purchase.
Mobile Optimization
Test your store on your phone right now. If anything is difficult to use, your customers are experiencing the same frustration – and leaving without buying.

Common E-commerce Questions
“Which platform should I use?”
Depends on your needs:
- Simple store, want hands-off hosting: Shopify
- Want integration with existing WordPress site: WooCommerce
- Large catalog, need advanced features: BigCommerce
- Selling on multiple channels: Shopify or BigCommerce
I’ll recommend the best fit after understanding your situation.
“How do I handle shipping?”
Most platforms integrate with major shipping carriers for automatic rate calculation. You can offer flat rate shipping, free shipping thresholds, local pickup, or calculated rates based on weight and destination.
“Can I sell both physical and digital products?”
Yes. Most platforms handle both. Digital products are delivered automatically after purchase.
“What payment processing fees should I expect?”
Standard rates are typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction for credit cards. Rates may be lower for high-volume businesses. I’ll help you understand the complete fee structure for your chosen platform.
“How do I manage inventory?”
Your store admin includes inventory tracking. You can set stock levels, receive low-stock alerts, and automatically show “out of stock” when items aren’t available.
“Can I sell in other countries?”
Yes. You can configure international shipping, multi-currency display, and automatic tax calculation for different regions. Some complexity depends on legal requirements for your products and target countries.
“What about returns and refunds?”
You set your own return policy. Most platforms make it easy to process refunds through the admin. I’ll help you create clear policies that protect both you and your customers.
