Ecommerce website development

A store built in Next.js, from $1,900 — a fixed price, agreed before the work starts. Everyone else answering this question quotes a range: $5,000 to $25,000, $2,000 to $20,000, $50 to $150,000. Ours is a number, and below is exactly what it covers.

Ecommerce web design, built rather than assembled

Most ecommerce website design companies start from a theme and configure it. We start from the catalogue and build the templates around it, which is why the product and category pages render immediately rather than assembling themselves per visit. A store is not judged on how it looks in a mockup — it is judged on whether checkout completes and whether the product pages can be found at all.

Stripe, or the processor you already use

Card payments through Stripe by default, or whatever you already have set up. We do not put ourselves between you and your money — the account is yours and the payouts go straight to it.

No monthly platform fee

The store is code, not a subscription. There is no per-month platform charge and no app you have to keep paying for to keep a feature you already had.

You own it, and you can leave

The code goes to a repository in your name on final payment. Nothing is locked to us, so another developer can pick it up without rebuilding from scratch.

Ecommerce website development services — what $1,900 includes

  • Store build with a product catalogue and categories
  • Payment setup — card, bank transfer, cash on delivery
  • Delivery setup with zones and pricing
  • An admin panel where you add products yourself
  • Baseline SEO — titles, descriptions, sitemap, URL structure
  • A design preview before any contract

That is the build. What a store costs to run afterwards — platform fees, apps, processing, hosting — is the number most quotes leave out, and it is broken down in full in our guide to what an ecommerce website costs.

How the build runs

A store takes longer than a presentation site for one reason: money has to move through the system before it goes live. Everything else is familiar work.

  1. Catalogue and structure

    We go through what you sell, how many products there are, how they split into categories and what separates the variants — size, colour, packaging. This step depends on you most, because product data has to exist somewhere before it can be entered.

  2. Design and the product page

    A preview of the home page and one product page before any contract. In a store the product page matters more than the home page — that is where the decision happens, and the usual mistake is that image, price and button do not fit one phone screen.

  3. Payment and delivery

    Connecting your bank for card payment, setting up transfer and cash on delivery, then delivery zones and pricing. This step sets the timeline, because banks have their own procedure and it does not speed up.

  4. Testing and launch

    We run real orders through the system — payment, confirmation, the email to the buyer, the record. Only when that passes every time does the store go live.

Common questions

How much does an online store cost?

From $1,900. That covers the build, the product catalogue, payment and delivery setup, and a basic SEO configuration. Domain and hosting are paid directly to the provider, typically $10–20 and $30–100 a year.

Which payment methods work in Montenegro?

Card payment through a Montenegrin bank, bank transfer, and cash on delivery, which is still how a large share of orders here are paid. We set up what your bank actually supports rather than assuming.

How long does it take?

Longer than a presentation site — usually four to six weeks, because payment and delivery integrations have to be tested with real transactions before launch.

Can I add products myself?

Yes. You get an admin panel and the account stays in your name. If you would rather not, maintenance is $99 a month.

Common questions about online stores

How much does a website cost in Montenegro?

A website starts at €390 here. The Montenegrin market runs from €150 offers — almost always a bought WordPress or Wix theme — up to business platforms over €3,000. The difference is not the page count but whether the design was made for you and whether anyone maintains the site when something breaks.

How much does SEO cost?

SEO starts at $700. US agencies typically sell it as a monthly retainer instead, which is why the figure here is a one-off and theirs is not. SEO is a separate service because it runs for months after the site is handed over, rather than being done once during the build.

What is the price of web design and what does it include?

Web design is $900 and covers a design made for you, up to five pages, built for the phone, with basic SEO set-up and a speed measurement before handover. You see the design before signing anything.

What is not included in the price?

Domain and hosting. You pay those directly to the provider, typically €10–20 a year for a domain and €30–100 a year for hosting. We do not mark up someone else’s service, and the site stays on your own account.

Does the price change during the work?

No. The figure is agreed before work starts and is not revised afterwards. If you ask for something during the work that was not in the agreement, you get a price for it first and decide then.

How much does maintenance cost?

Maintenance is $99 a month and covers updates, security patches, backups and small text and image changes. It is not compulsory — the site runs without it — but it is the difference between a site someone looks after and a site waiting to break.

How do you set up an online store in Montenegro?

You need a product catalogue, a way to pay and a way to deliver. An online store starts at €690 here and includes a catalogue with categories and search, card payment through a local bank, cash on delivery, and a delivery integration.

Can the store take cards in Montenegro?

Yes. Card payment runs through an agreement with a local bank, and we connect the store to their system. You sign the bank agreement yourself, because the money goes to your account.

How many products can the store hold?

There is no practical limit. Stores with several thousand items run as fast as ones with fifty, because product pages are built in advance rather than at the moment someone opens them.
