Shopify E-Commerce Systems

With the goal of creating both powerful and affordable e-commerce websites, we partner with a robust e-commerce platform, Shopify, to offer your small business a great looking, highly functional online store.

At Igniting Business, we recognize the growing trend to offer an online avenue for selling your small business’ products or services. Let’s face it – many customers today want to simply order something on their electronic device, in the convenience of their own environment, at the time that works best for them. Small businesses are no longer stuck only selling their products or services during standard hours at their physical location. The evolution of online shopping offers unique benefits to small businesses when executed properly.

The worst thing a small business can do, though, is have a hard-to-use, outdated, or incomplete online store. If you’re looking to offer online purchasing to your small business customers, you must have a seamless shopping experience for your customer! It’s even more important for your online experience to be easy, attractive, and complete than your physical store because often the website experience is the first (and maybe even only) impression they have your small business until they receive your product or service.

Building Powerful E-commerce Websites on Shopify

We recognize the unique benefits and challenges that an online store can present for a small business from both a functionality and cost perspective. To ensure a beautiful, well-functioning website, we start by building on the Shopify platform. At Igniting Business, we believe in quality in everything we do. When it comes to e-commerce platforms, Shopify is that quality! We’ve found Shopify to be an the most exemplary e-commerce system available for small businesses, which is why we became a Shopify Partner.
