Why Work With Concise to Build Your
WooCommerce Store?

Concise Has A Long Track Record Of Success

You can take comfort knowing we’ve helped hundreds of businesses to set up and operate successful web stores for almost 20 years.

If you want a good business website, you will be in safe and secure hands. Hundreds of other online businesses rely on us, and you can too!

Concise Digital started in 2005, and we have used WooCommerce and WordPress almost from the start. WordPress was developed as blog software in 2003, and Woo was launched in 2008. We’ve been using both systems for years, which means you can be confident when you choose to work with us.

We’re Flexible With Themes

WooCommerce connects to the WordPress framework and uses WordPress themes.

Lots of WordPress themes are available off-the-shelf, and whilst we can use them we tend to avoid most of these, especially when the website has WooCommerce and eCommerce functionality.

It is often better and more cost-effective to build a custom theme that meets your needs exactly.

Many themes are bloated with features you may never use which can slow down the loading of your site. If you want something added, it can be time-consuming to customise an off-the-shelf theme.

Good design is very important for web stores, and with a custom theme, we can make your design unique to you.

We also fix a lot of websites that were built by other web companies. If you come to us with an existing theme, it’s likely our WooCommerce developers have worked with it before. Even if your theme was built by another WooCommerce web development agency, our experienced developers will still be able to make changes.

Custom WooCommerce Web Design & Development

At Concise, we specialise in custom WooCommerce website design and development.

Our web designers and web developers will build a theme that meets your exact business requirements, with no unnecessary extras that can negatively impact your site performance.

You will get a website that is unique and tailored perfectly to meet the needs of your online business while remaining lightweight, flexible and easy to change as your business grows.

Our web designers and developers are highly experienced in custom development which means they work quickly and efficiently to build an eCommerce store that ticks all your boxes.

WordPress Integrations & WooCommerce Integrations

Clever websites usually have integrations with other third-party systems such as your CRM, email marketing system, inventory system, accounting system, shipping & fulfilment system, etc.

At Concise, we are experts at clever integration work. We can make your different systems talk nicely to each other in the background of your website. This single point is often the key to success (or failure) as the business grows and tries to scale.

If you need to integrate third-party applications with your WooCommerce store, we integrate them as seamlessly as possible.

Integrating systems and software often has the potential to ‘break’ other areas of your website when done incorrectly, so it’s essential that an experienced Woocommerce web developer does this work for you.

WooCommerce Plugin Advice

WooCommerce is extendable and adaptable using plugins. The issue is, not all plugins are created equal and not all plugins are necessary.

One visit to the WordPress store, and you will see the unlimited options, with many providing the same or similar features.

Our WooCommerce experts cut through all the chaos and focus on what extra functionality you need and the best WordPress plugin available that can help you achieve it.

We’ve had lots of experience over the years trialling different plug-ins for almost every use you can think of. We know which ones are the best, and which ones to steer clear of.

If you have too many plugins, you can overload your WordPress dashboard, slow down your site and even compromise its security. It’s important you only have those that are both good and essential. However, don’t jump in and start deactivating and installing plugins yourself as this can break functionality in your site or impact your rankings in search engines.

Managed WordPress Web Hosting

High-quality Australian web hosting is important for both your website’s speed and security.

Concise Digital do far more than just Woocommerce website design and website development. We provide fully managed WooCommerce hosting and backups with 24/7 tech support.

Hosting your website with us ensures a secure and fast-loading website for your customers. You’ll also avoid the fight between your hosting company and WooCommerce developer since both departments work side by side and can solve any issues quickly.

Ongoing WooCommerce Support & Maintenance

Our Woocommerce web design services do not end once we finish building your eCommerce store.

As the world’s most commonly used website content management system, it is important to keep WordPress websites updated and security patched a few times per year.

We can keep your website maintained and secure in the background so you don’t have to worry about it.

Our Tried & Tested Process for
Building Your New Website

Firstly, we take the time to understand your business, customers, competitors, needs, and goals. Expect a lot of questions because it’s essential we get a deep understanding so we can determine if Woocommerce is the right eCommerce platform for you.

This can be done over the phone, on a video call or over coffee, if you prefer. We are very flexible with our working hours and will always try to fit in with you for suitable meeting times.

After we scope the project, we will come back to you with a detailed brief confirming exactly what you want, including details on products, shipping preferences, key functionality you require and how long each section will take.

We provide you with cost estimates upfront, so you know how much your WooCommerce website will cost with no surprises later. We then go through this together and we can adjust the website requirements to suit your budget.

We recommend implementing strong search engine optimisation (SEO) fundamentals early in development. If you decide to do SEO work on your website in the future, having these foundations already built will save you money down the line.

These foundations will be created by our team of SEO specialists and will add additional cost to your project.

SEO is extremely important for eCommerce websites. It’s what will help you get in front of potential customers searching for your products in Google, Yahoo, or Bing.

Our SEO specialists will start by conducting keyword research to help inform the URLs, sitemap and navigation, new page suggestions and mapping vital on-page SEO best practices. If you’ve done SEO in the past, it’s important to maintain your organic performance when moving to a new website. This involves carefully planning URL structure changes, navigation changes, content changes and any metadata changes to maintain your high rankings.

Before starting design mockups, you will need to provide your branding guidelines and all essential design assets, like logos, product images and videos you want us to incorporate. Once we have this, we provide you with design mockups of the mobile and desktop home page.

You review those designs, provide your feedback and tell us any suggestions or alterations that are needed. Once the home page designs are approved, we move on to create the designs for product pages, product collections, checkout and standard internal pages and any pages that need specific designs for special functionality or user interactivity.

Once the designs are approved, we move on to the development phase. This is the step where we create the theme and start adding products, setting up shipping options and integrating third-party applications.

Your WooCommerce site is built in a staging environment which you can access throughout the project. Once everything is exactly how you want it, we will provide training on how to manage your orders, shipping and payments.

The next piece of the puzzle is to add your content. Your online store will use the WooCommerce product catalogue to keep all your product information.

This product content is very important. Ideally, the product content must be unique to your website. It must explain all of the important features, advantages and benefits of each product and must entice your customers to buy your products.

If you are creating the content for your site, this will need to be provided to us before your website can launch. Alternatively, you may want our SEO and content team to create content for your pages. In this case, we will work with you to populate your pages.

Having your content written using the best on-page SEO techniques is powerful. Correctly optimised and professionally written web content will allow you to rank better for important keywords in search engines and increase sales.

After development is complete and the site content is added, we will go through and test each page on desktop and mobile and make adjustments. We will also check that all functionality is working correctly and troubleshoot any issues.

The next stage is to set up your Australian-based website hosting and ensure it is working perfectly ready to go ‘live’.

At Concise Digital, we have our own high-level business-grade hosting servers as part of AWS, and we have our own hosting support team available 24/7 to provide ongoing technical support to all of our hosting clients. (This is important, as very few web design agencies are big enough to have their own hosting support technical team.)

Before and after your website goes live, we will implement relevant tasks from our SEO migration checklist to reduce the chance of any drops in your rankings and organic web traffic. This involves tasks like implementing redirects, copying across your previous metadata, updating internal links with new URLs and much more.

This is when we make your new online store live to the world. As part of this process, we immediately test the site to ensure all elements function properly across all devices.

We provide comprehensive training to make sure you understand how to use the backend of your WooCommerce website. Remember if you ever have any issues, our support team are available 24/7.

Your online store does not stop with the launch of the site. Really, the launch is just the start of the next stage for your business. 

We stay in touch with you and help you through any teething issues you may have.

A couple of weeks after your website has gone live is usually a good time for us to talk with you and to go through your initial reports in Google Analytics. We can also provide suggestions on digital marketing strategies you could implement to grow your online presence, gain customers and increase sales.

WooCommerce may be the best software choice for your
Online Shop If…

You are a Small to Medium-Sized Business

WooCommerce is best for small businesses and medium-sized businesses.

WooCommerce is not designed to do 10,000 transactions a month.

When your online store is this size, it’s best to look at enterprise eCommerce platforms like PrestaShop.

You Don’t Want to Pay Licence, Subscription or Ongoing Fees

One of the main reasons WordPress and WooCommerce are so popular is because the software and plugins are free to download and use.

Unlike eCommerce platforms such as Shopify or Magento, WooCommerce has no licence fees, subscription costs or other ongoing fees. You will need to pay for a domain name and web hosting and potentially a theme and plugins if you choose premium versions.

You can also save money on development costs as WooCommerce is easier to code. There is also an enormous range of high-quality plugins that have already been coded, so if you need extra functionality, this can often be added without expensive custom application development.

You Want to Be Able to Manage Your Online Store

WooCommerce is built on WordPress, making it very easy to use – especially if you already have a WordPress website and want to start selling online.

You don’t need to be a web developer to manage and complete things such as effective stock management, refunds and all in between.

Is WooCommerce Right For You?

At Concise, we are platform-agnostic.

WooCommerce is one of four eCommerce systems we specialise in.
The other systems are Shopify, PrestaShop and Laravel for custom-built web applications.

Our team are experts in these different systems. We do not have a preference
for one over another, and we do not always recommend WooCommerce. It is very good and can
be the right fit in lots of situations but sometimes it is not the best option.

During our initial catch-up, we will take into account your
business requirements and recommend a platform that is the right one for the job.

What Software or Services Do You Need Assistance With?

Have a Question About WooCommerce?

You can use plenty of different payment gateway systems including Stripe, Paypal, Windcave, Afterpay, eWay and all major banking gateways.

WordPress/WooCommerce is arguably the most SEO-friendly platform. This makes it more flexible for SEO specialists to work with and allows them to more easily implement SEO best practices.

However, there are many factors that influence how well a website ranks in search engines, and simply having WooCommerce will not make your rankings better. This our where our SEO services come in.

The WooCommerce software is free to download and plug in to a WordPress website. The core WordPress content management system (CMS) software is also free.

These systems are free to download because they are built and distributed as open-source software. Many clever people around the world (including us) contribute to its ongoing development.

Being free to download is obviously one of the reasons the software is so popular, but it is also very good website software, with a proven history and good track record of eCommerce success.

While WooCommerce is a free plugin, there are still costs associated with building and owning a website. These include costs such as designing and building the website with website themes, additional plugins, and more.

With Concise, the costs of the website are always dependent on how long it takes to build.

Typically, this time involved might be from 40 hours to 200 hours. A WooCommerce site could range from $4,000 to over $20,000 or more.

You also need to allow for the monthly Website Hosting fees. You’ll want reliable, fast secure web hosting at a cost-effective ‘value for money’ rate, which is why it makes good sense to host a good business website with Concise Digital.
