E-shop Development in Drama
In Drama, the real question about an e-shop is usually this: ‘am I selling to consumers or to trade customers?’
If you produce something, whether wine, food, timber or building materials, you probably have two audiences at once: the end customer who buys a case and the wholesaler who buys a pallet. The same e-shop can serve both, with different prices, different minimums and a locked price list for trade customers.
Over the last 10 years, WebMate has built more than 200 online shops, both retail and wholesale.
E-shop development with a focus on functionality
At WebMate, we put a lot of weight on building a user-friendly e-shop that lets users browse easily and find the products they want quickly. When building an e-shop, we pay particular attention to categorising products properly and adding effective filters that go beyond simple categories.
Speed is one of the key factors in an e-shop’s success. That is why we work to fully optimise e-shop performance with WooCommerce, building custom themes that load only the code and files that are needed. We also host our e-shops and websites on LiteSpeed servers, which are noticeably faster than traditional servers such as Apache or Nginx. On top of that, we optimise images and use modern formats such as WebP to keep the site performing well.
We make no compromises on the quality of our service when we build an e-shop. We follow a thorough process of analysing our clients’ needs and the competitive market, so we can propose the most effective and competitive solutions. We understand each client’s particular needs and goals, and apply tailored strategies to secure their competitive edge.
Ongoing e-shop support
We fully understand how important it is for an online shop to keep growing and improving. Competition in e-commerce is intense and technology keeps moving. Building an e-shop is only the first step of the journey.
At WebMate, we commit to being your partner during the build of your e-shop and throughout its life. We support you and work with you to keep improving your e-shop. That includes applying new technologies, adapting to the needs of the market and your customers, and developing new features and functions that help your e-shop stay competitive.
You can count on us to build a high-quality e-shop and to support its long-term success and growth. We are here to support you on that journey and help your e-shop stay up to date and competitive.
Connecting your e-shop to an ERP, plus extra features
WebMate can support any client requirement, including integration with ERP systems and APIs such as email marketing platforms. We have completed dozens of such integrations and can adapt your e-shop to your exact needs. We can also build custom features and keep developing your e-shop, going beyond standard functions with custom blocks, variations in payment and shipping methods, product bundles and custom XML files.
E-shop development prices in Drama
| Project type | Price | Delivery time |
|---|---|---|
| Basic e-shop | from €2,500 | 9 weeks |
| E-shop with ERP integration | from €6,000 | 9+ weeks |
| B2B e-shop (wholesale) | from €7,000 | 9+ weeks |
These are starting prices and exclude VAT. The cost of an e-shop depends mainly on three things: the number of products, ERP integration and custom features. You get a written quote with a fixed price before we start.
What does a B2B e-shop mean in practice?
A login for trade customers, a public storefront for everyone else, a price list per customer or group, minimum quantities or pack multiples, order history and automatic stock updates from your ERP.
Does it connect to my ERP?
Yes, we handle integrations with ERP and third-party systems via API, so stock, prices and orders sync automatically.
Can I sell retail and wholesale from the same e-shop?
Yes, and it is the most common choice for producers. One shop, two audiences, different prices.
Do you serve Drama from Kavala?
Yes. We come over in person for the meeting and the handover, and work online in between.
Does it support IRIS and Greek payment methods?
Yes. IRIS, bank transfers, cards and cash on delivery, depending on what you need.
