eCommerce CMS & Website Design Questions
Do I need to have any technical knowledge?
Not at all. We’ll explain the different types of web design services we offer and help you decide what will work best for your individual needs and goals. Whether you know precisely what you’d like, or want to weigh the options, we’re here to help.
Do I need to purchase a website domain?
All you have to do is choose the best name for your site (but we can help with that too) and we will do the rest. We have web design packages that include registration of a .com domain name for 1 year, as well as the domain configuration required to make it work with your website.
Why do I need a website?
Whether you’re a for-profit business, a non-profit organization, or an individual trying to get out an important message out, it is nearly impossible these days to reach your goals, or compete effectively in your market, without an “online presence.” At Baazi Designs, we design websites for clients who want to boost their revenues, increase their visibility and expand their market beyond anything they could accomplish with only a traditional “bricks and mortar” operation.
Do you charge anything for web consultation?
No. We are more than happy to give you free advice. Just contact us at any time via email or phone and we’ll answer your questions. In addition, we can also arrange for a meeting so we can personally discuss any questions (also free of charge).
How much does a website cost?
Our web design and development service costs are determined on a case to case basis, although we do have package fees for our standard websites, wordpress, Joomla websites, and eCommerce content management system (CMS) webstores and other online carts. You can view some of our pricing here to get an idea how much we charge, but please be assured that we can work within your budget to give you a presence on the web. We are confident that Baazi Designs can give you the most affordable pricing in Asia and beyond. For more information or to speak with our designer, please feel free to contact us for details.
Most of the ecommerce website design solutions we put together range in the $3k to $6k area. Some end up in the 10k+ range. It all depends. It is not too typical to have a fully functional online store end up being any less of an investment then what is stated above but it does happen from time to time. The larger and more involved the project is, the more costly the investment typically.

How do you keep your prices so low?
We are asked this question fairly often. The answer is very simple: we’re a small company with little overhead. We have created an advanced workflow that allows us to develop websites faster without sacrificing beauty. There is no catch — you will work directly with our designer and we guarantee the best customer service possible. We specialize in small businesses and organizations, and we know, first hand, the challenges of competing with the “big guys.” Good product, great service, and exceptional branding is what it’s all about.
How long does it take to complete a website?
On average, our websites can take from 4 to 6 weeks to complete. However, the timeframe really depends on the size and complexity of the project. You are a big part of the equation and we will not only need your content, but also your feedback to make sure we’re all on the same page and heading in the same direction. We can accomplish tight deadlines in a short amount of time, but we won’t cut corners. We’re all about quality, not quantity.
With any website, a hosting account and a domain name are required. Your hosting account is basically a rented space on a server, where your website will reside and be displayed on the world wide web. The domain name is your unique URL, or web address (for example: www.your-website.com). We do not provide these services directly, but we’re happy to help you set up a hosting account and select a domain name.
Again, that all depends on you and your business' needs. Our ecommerce web design solutions are comprehensive. Consulting, content, design, development, search engine optimization, beta testing, etc, all take time. Typically an online store takes about 4-6 weeks but it can certainly vary. We have taken on ecommerce projects that eat up a few months as well as others that go live within a few short weeks.

What type of store platform does your company use?
That all depends on things like how many products you plan on selling, how you plan on managing inventory, and so on. We does not represent any one particular shopping cart platform. We typically develop store systems utilizing Open Cart, PrestaShop, Magento, osCommerce & VirtueMart. Smaller stores are often ok utilizing Woocommerce (via the Wordpress Platform). We also have created custom store systems. At the end of the day it just comes down to whatever the best solution is.
How do I get my products onto the website?
If you have an existing site or database we may be able to export that material and import it into the new store. If you do not, or if you are looking to make changes anyway, our team will set you up with the ability to log into an admin panel in which you can add / edit / remove both categories and the products that go in those categories. Every ecommerce web design solution we develop comes equipped with these types of content management abilities. Contact us to learn more.
How are people going to find my online store?
Running an e-commerce website is not all that different from running a retail operation. Care, attention, and detail need to go into managing your inventory. You also need to spend time marketing and promoting your store. Whether it be retail shop or the world wide web, advertising is a must. We can help you advertise the business online. It typically also makes sense to sell your products through other outlets as well. For example, selling the products on Amazon.com, eBay.com, Esty.com, or having them listed in Google's product feed all makes sense with assisting you in your online sales efforts.
Who do I call if there is a problem with my ecommerce website design solution?
You contact us. We handle all customer service issues.
Does Baazi Designs have hosting options for my ecommerce web design solution?

Will my ecommerce website design solution be supported by all the major browsers?

With mobile web sales growing at a rapid pace, it is more important now than ever before to have a mobile optimized eCommerce site.

I sell a unique product or service. Can you develop a custom eCommerce site for my business?
Of course we can! We specialize in developing custom e-commerce websites that meet your specific needs (and we've been doing it for over 10 years). Your company will work with our team as we develop a site to match your goals and expectations. Creating a final product that you are 100% satisfied with is always our goal.
Will my e-Commerce website be secure?
All of our e-commerce websites use 128-bit encryption via an SSL (Secure Socket Layer), the standard in website security. This allows information to be passed through your website in a code that cannot be read, even if intercepted. All website are developed using the latest in PCI compliance standards. We recommend not storing credit cards on your server or in your eCommerce administration. Utilizing a 3rd party payment gateway your website can process payment without storing this sensitive data.
How do I market my product or service?
We are assist you in both organic search marketing and paid search marketing campaigns. We report in detail each month the success of your campaign and have personal meetings or calls multiple times throughout the month.
Is search engine optimization included in eCommerce website development?
Each eCommerce website we build has our standard SEO best-practices in place and the website is built "SEO friendly". This means we do our best during development to create the SEO foundation for the website. Often many of our websites rank very well from development alone, but we do recommend an ongoing SEO plan to achieve results for competitive keywords.
Will you submit my ecommerce website to the major search engines?
Yes we will. Baazi Designs does free basic search engine optimization for all of our clients. We also manually submitting you to Google, Yahoo, Bing, and more.
I'm Only Selling A Few Products. Can You Set Me Up With PayPal?
Yes. If you only have a handful of products, you can use PayPal for payment processing. However, you should understand that your customers will be directed to PayPal's site while placing their order. Also, as your sales grow, it will become more economical to switch to a standard merchant plan.
Is An SSL For A Domain Name Also Valid For Its Sub-Domains?
No, unless you get a wildcard certficate, the SSL certificate is only valid for the exact domain or sub-domain that you registered it for. If you require an SSL for a sub-domain, keep in mind that the sub-domain has to be on a dedicated IP address.
What are the payment terms for this package?
Payment terms are 50% to start your project and the final 50% once you have approved the final design, layout and navigational structure and are ready to enter your products.
