Web design can cost an arm and a leg! Luckily, a savvy small business can create a unique online store for less, like the site below. Contact Brimming Design to build an inexpensive WordPress store in less than two weeks!
WordPress stores are a cost-effective and flexible option that offers countless free add-on features, including search engine optimization.
Brimming Design’s client, BakerCreations, was a new company with limited startup funds. They required an inexpensive and self-maintained solution. WordPress and WooCommerce offered all the required features but added no monthly fees to the project. The total cost for site and store creation was under $1500. Our sites begin at $350 per page. The end result is a beautiful site with a blog, a store with 10 products, and basic SEO. Our customer provided the blog articles and products for photography. Brimming Design included product photo editing and 2 hours of training time in WordPress. Most importantly, after this initial setup, the company will only be billed for domain renewal and hosting, and credit card processing fees.
