FAQs

Q. How long does it take to build an online store?
A. The package outlined above can be ready to launch in 6-12 weeks.

Q. What if I already have a website but not a store?
A. We would need to review before answering. In many instances, we have found it more efficient and economical to replace an existing site and migrate content.

Q. Isn’t this just like Squarespace/Wix/Shopify?
A. No! Although our Quick Start Solution utilizes a specific (but not insignificant) number of layout options, there are no ‘set in stone’ themes that can often lead to compromises and frustration.

“I wish we would’ve gone online sooner. It has freed up time for some of our employees, and allowed us to become more efficient and productive. It also allowed us to continue to serve our customers, in a time and space where, had we not had a website, our business may have suffered gravely, or we may not have been able to offer our staff the security of their health and safety.”
