choose from such as Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento, 3dCart,
Prestashop, Wix, osCommerce. However, depending on the scale of your cosmetics eCommerce website, your expectations,
as well as your budget you can select the most suitable one for your business.
Step 2:
Looking for a trusted web design company who is expert in your selected
platform
Choosing the right eCommerce web design company is a decisive factor for your online
business success.
After realizing which platform would be a perfect
match for your cosmetics shop, you can narrow down the searching scope to the
website development agencies who have strong experience with that platform.
Step 3:
Specifying all of the requirements for your cosmetics website design and
development
Once you figure out who will be your partner for
your cosmetic website design and development cooperation, it’s time to discuss
your project requirements in details.
In general, you have to clarify some requirements
related to:
●
Website design: You have to decide
whether to create a unique design from scratch or apply a ready-made beauty and
cosmetics theme, whether the web agency will provide the logo and banners or
not and so on.
●
Website functionality: Is there
any special feature that you want to have on your cosmetics eCommerce website?
If yes, be clear about it when discussing with your agency so they can help you
find proper solutions.
●
Website payment: It’s necessary to
choose the payment gateway for your website from the beginning so the agency
can find possible ways to integrate it into your store.
●
Website shipping: Besides payment,
you must take shipping, including shipping methods, shipping carriers and how
to calculate shipping costs, into your consideration.
●
Website hosting: While many
agencies can offer both web design development services and hosting service,
others can only give you suggestions. That’s why you should ask them about the
hosting issue during the discussion.
●
Estimated time for a website
development: After understanding all your requirement, web development
company is responsible to prepare a detailed proposal with estimated time and
cost of implementing your project.
Step 4:
Negotiating the web development cost with the agency
If the offered price from the website design and a development company is in the range of your budget, you can move on quickly
with the contract and project schedule.
Step 5:
Starting the development process & launching your cosmetics eCommerce
website

you a specific project timeline before starting the development process. Owing

progress of the developers.
