BigCommerce Development Agency

Our process to create a custom BigCommerce theme includes competitive research, wireframing to visualize the structure, web design mockups to let the store owner see it before its coded, developing the theme as a customized version of Cornerstone, testing the theme before deployment, launching the theme, and providing support after the launch to handle any issues.

We build all our themes on top of Cornerstone because it's the flagship theme of BigCommerce and as a result it's very minimal, fast, and easier to update than other BigCommerce theme development starting points.

BigCommerce uses HTML, CSS (SCSS), and Javascript as do all websites. In addition, it uses an open-source framework called Stencil and a store-front API to provide a web developer with a scalable and flexible set of tools to access the database and perform advanced code functions.

For even more advanced functionality and app development, BigCommerce provides a best-in-class rest API and GraphQL API to enable external databases and scripts to communicate with the BigCommerce database.

The cost of building a custom BigCommerce store can vary widely depending on several factors such as the complexity of the web design, the number of custom features required, and the level of integration with third-party applications.

For some clients, we take over the development of their existing store, providing ongoing support without a brand new store build.

In general:
Most of our actual store buildouts start in the range of $12k - $40k.
Most of our headless builds start around $75k - 150k.

We have worked with many startups. Most of our clients are already doing 500k-25M in annual sales, but we've worked with much bigger brands with household names, and we've worked with plenty of startups too.

We understand that a business's needs are different at different stages of growth so we can tailor what we deliver to meet your needs.

An e-commerce development agency is a digital agency that provides a variety of services to online brands and stores. Agencies such as ours provide a team of experienced designers, BigCommerce developers, and marketers to work with you to grow, find new customers, and improve your customer experience.

Services you may need from such an agency can include web design, development, marketing, analytics, consultation, app development, and brand guidance. Most importantly we find that online businesses really need help with direction and ongoing support.

A great digital agency should be able to be your partner in growth and help you see the next steps as well as help you take them.

We have been a BigCommerce developer since 2010 and are an official partner. BigCommerce is our primary e-commerce platform, and we do just about everything you can do with the platform including building custom stores, marketing, data migration, app integrations, custom app development, custom widgets, headless buildouts, and we've put out hundreds of videos to educate the BigCommerce community.

Basically, we're as deep as you can get into BigCommerce.

Both platforms are SAAS platforms that let the ecommerce store owners build and operate their store while integrating with lots of 3rd party systems and apps with a great API.

There are a lot of differences between the platforms, but to sum it up, Big Commerce offers a LOT more functionality with a MUCH LOWER cost of ownership.

We would be happy to discuss which one is better for you on a call, but they are both professional-grade. As a BigCommerce developer AND a Shopify developer, we support both... but we generally prefer Big Commerce for many reasons.

We have built 500+ custom stores on Big Commerce since 2010. We have built on Stencil, Blueprint, and "3columnblue" before that. We've been BigCommerce developers since they were a 10-person company and have been there through all their growth cycles.

We've built stores, cleaned up projects from other agencies, and massively increased client sales with marketing. We've built headless sites, published a BigCommerce theme, build custom widgets, and published multiple apps in the app store. Basically, we've done everything you can do on the BigCommerce ecommerce platform, and we even run some of our own stores as well.

We've been a top BigCommerce Developer since 2010 and in this time our primary focus has always been on the BigCommerce platform. Our expertise on the platform lets us tackle complex issues as we take you through the whole process of improving your customer experience.

We stay around 15-25 people. Our team is made of specialists, not generalists, so the work we do is done by in-house full-timers, not external freelancers. Because of this, we can train our people to be the best and most knowledgeable, which is what you should expect from a digital agency like ours.

Yes. Because our people are not random freelancers and they are in-house, we are happy to include them in calls to answer questions directly and to get an understanding of scopes when needed to prevent things from being 'lost in translation.'

Yes, this is one of our primary services. While other agencies focus just on the initial build, we know that the secret sauce in your growth is the ongoing tweaks to improve performance and react to how your audience experiences your ecommerce store.

We love to provide ongoing proactive support to our clients and take over many support relationships from other agencies who are less focused on helping you grow.

Proactive is the keyword in our ideal support relationship. We want to not just handle tickets, but also provide some vision and ideas to keep you growing and planning ahead. With the right partner, growing your BigCommerce store can be much easier.

Yes. In addition to BigCommerce theme development, we can help you find and grow new customers with PPC, SEO, rewards, reviews, and recurring subscriptions, and have a lot of expertise in email automation through Klaviyo.

We can handle new features, and app development, help with analytics, and solve all sorts of other needs. We're all-in on e-commerce.

Clients choose us to be their BigCommerce developer because we love the platform and we've been around long enough to know all the limitations, workarounds, and best practices.

Clients stick with us because of our accessibility and passion to help them grow. We never run out of ideas and we won't try and convince you to re-platform to Shopify non-stop. We love BigCommerce.

Our top BigCommerce developers can build a variety of custom solutions depending on your needs. Of course, we can build a custom theme and web design for your storefront or new website, but we can also handle app development for BigCommerce API integration, custom widgets and so much more.
