Built for the Way Shoppers Buy

Online shoppers scan, compare prices, and abandon carts over confusing shipping costs or long checkout forms. We design every store around these real habits, not around what looks good in a portfolio.

  1. Product pages that answer buying questions upfront
  2. Shorter cart and checkout flows, with fewer unnecessary steps
  3. Shipping, return, and pricing info shown early, not buried at checkout
  4. Reviews and return policies placed where shoppers look for them

Already Have a Store That Isn't Performing?

You don't always need a rebuild. If your current store was built with a template, a DIY builder, or an AI tool and it isn't working the way you want, we can review it and tell you what we'd look at first.

Sometimes a few changes to layout, product pages, or checkout are enough. Other times, parts of the site are better rebuilt with professional ecommerce web design. Either way, you'll get a clear recommendation before you commit to anything.

    Why Choose Us

    Most online stores fall short because they make shoppers work too hard. Visitors arrive from a search, an ad, or social media, often on their phones, and decide within seconds whether the store feels easy and safe to buy from. A slow page, confusing navigation, or a long checkout can send them to another store. After 17+ years of building websites, we know how to plan a store around the way people shop.

    Our Services

    Here's what a typical ecommerce website design and development project can include. For the full range of what we offer, see our web design services.

    Customized Ecommerce Website Design

    We create ecommerce website designs tailored to your brand. Whether you're looking for Shopify theme design or WordPress WooCommerce development, we build a responsive design around your products and your brand.

    Conversion-Focused Design

    We plan layouts, navigation, and checkout so shoppers can find products and move toward purchasing without unnecessary steps.

    SEO Foundations

    We apply SEO best practices to your store's structure, product pages, and content so search engines can better understand your site and shoppers can find what they need. Search rankings depend on many factors outside our control, so we can't guarantee them.

    Ongoing Support

    Website updates, performance checks, and security maintenance are available as separate services. Ask us for current rates and exactly what each option includes.

    Security & Checkout Setup

    We set up your store with SSL encryption and secure checkout practices, and we work with the payment tools your platform supports.

    Mobile-First Design Approach

    Most shopping happens on mobile. We prioritize responsive design so your store displays and works well on smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

    Store Features That Make Buying Easier

    A good-looking storefront still has to be easy to shop. Every feature we suggest is meant to build trust, reduce friction, or help a shopper move toward checkout. Which ones fit depends on your products and your platform. Features that connect to outside systems are scoped as project-specific work.

    Smart Product Filtering

    Helps shoppers narrow down a large catalog so they can find what they want faster.

    One-Page or Express Checkout

    Fewer steps between "add to cart" and "order confirmed," where your platform supports it.

    Upsell & Cross-Sell Placement

    Product recommendations placed where they feel helpful, not pushy.

    Inventory Sync

    Keeps stock counts in step across your store and other sales channels, where your platform supports it. This is project-specific work, scoped and quoted for your setup.

    Abandoned Cart Reminders

    Automated emails or prompts that remind shoppers about items they left behind.

    Wishlist & Save-for-Later

    Gives undecided shoppers an easy way to come back to products later.

    Which Platform Is Right for Your Store?

    The best platform is the one that fits how you sell, not the one that's trending. Our ecommerce website developers work across all of these, and here's how we usually think it through with clients:

    Shopify

    Shopify suits stores where the product catalog and checkout are the heart of the business. We can go beyond the default setup with customized theme work.

    WordPress

    Wordpress with WooCommerce suits stores that need flexibility advanced product catalogs, payment integrations, or heavy content alongside the shop. Advanced integrations are project-specific and quoted separately.

    Squarespace

    Squarespace suits brands where design comes first. We work on layouts, navigation, and checkout so the store is easy to shop as well as nice to look at.

    Wix

    Wix suits owners who want an easy platform. We can add features and improve mobile layouts and the buying flow, within what the platform allows.

    Square Online

    Square Online suits businesses that sell in person and online. We can help set it up so inventory and payments work together.

    GoDaddy

    GoDaddy suits stores that need to launch quickly. We work on layouts, product pages, and checkout so a quick launch still feels organized.

    Not sure which one fits? 

    That's a normal place to start, and we'll give you an honest recommendation.

    Your Store Runs on More Than a Storefront

    What shoppers see is only half of an online store. Behind it, orders need to reach you, payments need to go through, and stock needs to be tracked. We plan these parts alongside the design so they work together.

    • Payment and shipping connections that fit the platform you've chosen
    • Inventory set up to match your products, where your platform supports it
    • SSL in place before you launch
    • A content management setup so you can add products and update prices without a developer

    Need to connect something specific? Tell us what you use, and we'll let you know what's possible. Integrations beyond standard platform features are project-specific and quoted separately.

    Whether You Sell Ten Products or Ten Thousand

    A store with a handful of products and a store with a deep catalog have different needs. A small shop needs every product page to do real work. A large catalog needs shoppers to find the right item without scrolling forever. We plan the structure around the size of your catalog from the start.

    1. Categories and navigation that match how your customers describe what they're looking for
    2. Product pages that handle sizes, colors, and other options clearly
    3. Filtering and search planned for larger catalogs
    4. Layouts that keep a small catalog feeling full and a large one easy to browse

    Not sure how to organize your products? Send us your list, and we'll talk through it.

    Opening Your First Online Store

    Putting products online for the first time raises a lot of questions at once. You don't need the answers before you call. These are the ones we usually walk through together:

    1. Which platform fits how you sell
    2. How customers will pay and how orders will ship
    3. What your product pages need to answer before someone buys
    4. What to have ready before launch, like product photos, descriptions, and your logo

    If you already have a domain or hosting, bring those details along. If you don't, we'll help you sort out the options. Hosting is a separate service, and we'll go over current rates and what's included.

    Close to You, Wherever You Sell

    Our team works from three California offices, in Pasadena, El Monte, and Oakhurst. If you'd rather talk face to face, you're welcome to come by. If you'd rather talk on the phone, just call.

      •   I needed to get a website made for my business in a short amount of time before we opened and Rolando got it done way ahead of schedule! He created a beautiful looking site in a short amount of time for a much better price than what I was quoted elsewhere. He also has options available to have him update your site anytime, and that has been very helpful, and he is always very responsive and gets our changes done quickly. I highly recommend Rolando and My Company Site if you need to get a great website made!

      •   Rolando and his team at My Company Site are very knowledgeable web designers.  From content layout to perfecting a site on mobile, from logo design to creating custom forms or setting up a robust e-commerce platform.  These guys know everything WordPress, WooCommerce, and more.  I would highly recommend any local Pasadena business to use them for improving their web presence.  They also offer search engine optimization services.  Again, Rolando is local, easy to talk to, he answers his phone and emails, it's nice to have a real person that cares about his customers.
