Have your online shop built and sell without the technical stress
Want to sell your products online? We build online shops for small businesses in the Bonn and Cologne area: clear, mobile and legally sound. And we'll tell you honestly whether a shop is worth it for you.
Having an online shop built is a bigger step than a normal website, and it isn't the right one for every business. That's why we don't start with the technology but with an honest question: Do you really want to sell and ship online, or do you need a site that brings in enquiries? Both can make sense, but they are two different paths.
If a shop is the right fit, we build it to suit your business: clear, fast, mobile and with a payment and shipping process that runs smoothly for you and your customers. No bloated system with a thousand features you'll never use, just what you need to sell.
We work for small businesses and self-employed people in the Bonn and Cologne area, from the farm shop to tradespeople with their own products to the local retailer who also wants to sell online.
When an online shop is worth it, and when it isn't
A shop makes sense if you sell products regularly, can ship them and are prepared to handle the work of maintaining it and processing orders. It makes less sense if you actually offer services or only have a few products; then a good website with an enquiry or order option is often enough.
- A shop fits: many products, predictable shipping, willing to keep it up to date
- A website is enough: services, few items, individual sales
We'll work out honestly up front what makes economic sense in your case. If a lean site is enough, we'll say so, even if a shop would mean more work for us. More on this under having a website built.
What a good online shop needs
A shop that sells needs solid foundations:
- Clear product pages with good photos and clear descriptions
- A simple checkout: the fewer clicks to purchase, the better
- Secure payment with the methods your customers expect
- Clear shipping with understandable costs and delivery times
- Flawless on mobile, because many people buy from their phone
- Legal compliance: Impressum (legal notice), privacy policy, right of withdrawal, price information
The last point is often underestimated: a shop has more legal obligations than a normal website. We set up the foundations properly; the actual legal review is done at the end by your lawyer or a specialist service.
Start small, grow cleanly
You don't have to launch with a huge shop. Often the best way is to go live with a manageable range, gather experience and then expand where it makes sense. That keeps costs under control, and you quickly see what works.
What matters is a clean foundation that can grow with you, so you don't have to rebuild later. You can read how we approach projects in general on our about us page; the basics of being found are on our page about search engine optimisation.
Why WEBinnovision
We don't build off-the-shelf shops and we won't talk you into one you don't need. You get two permanent contacts, plain language and a clear fixed price for what we agree.
If you're based in the region, you'll find more under web design in Bonn and web design in Cologne. The best thing is to drop us a line about what you want to sell, and we'll tell you honestly whether and how a shop makes sense for you. Get in touch.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to have an online shop built?
A shop takes more work than a normal website, so the price is higher and depends heavily on the scope, the number of products and the features you want. We give you a clear fixed price in advance for the agreed scope, with no hidden extras.
Can I manage products and prices myself later?
Yes, that's the normal case. We set up the shop so that you can manage products, prices, images and stock yourself, and at the end we show you how it works.
Do you also take care of the legal obligations?
We set up the foundations properly (Impressum, privacy page, right of withdrawal, structure for price information). The binding legal review of the texts, however, is done by your lawyer or a specialist service. That matters for online shops.
I'm not sure I need a shop at all.
Then that's exactly what we'll clarify first. Often a good website with an enquiry or order function is enough, and it costs considerably less. We'll give you honest advice, even if the answer is: a shop isn't worth it (yet).
