What would rebuilding your storefront cost?

Eight questions about catalog, design, integrations and search traffic. The answer is a planning range built from real package prices — wide on purpose, because a single number before an audit would be fiction.

Catalog size

Published products, including variants

Design

How far the look should move from what you have

Templates and sections

Beyond the standard home, category, product, cart set

Integrations

ERP, CRM, subscriptions, loyalty, shipping, custom feeds

Search traffic to protect

How much organic revenue is at risk in the switch

Languages and markets

Localized content, currencies, market-specific pricing

B2B or wholesale rules

Role pricing, tiers, minimums, quotes, account hierarchies

Product content

Descriptions, imagery and category copy as they stand today

Planning range

$1,999$2,500

Low end: nothing unexpected in the plugin stack. High end: the normal amount of unexpected.

Package this usually lands in

Launch Setup

Package contents and what each level includes are on the pricing page.

What is driving your range

Nothing above the baseline yet — answer the questions above.

Ongoing, if you want it

from $150/mo

Care Plan: updates, monitoring, fixes and quarterly technical SEO checks. Optional.

A planning range, not a quote. It is computed in your browser and nothing is sent or stored. Hosting, paid plugin licences, payment processing fees, photography, copywriting and advertising are billed by their providers and are not included.

Most people asking what a storefront project costs are not trying to buy yet. They are trying to find out whether the conversation is worth having at all, and whether the quote they already received is sane. This estimator answers that. It starts from the real entry price of a Launch Setup and adds what each piece of extra scope genuinely costs on top: a bigger catalog, custom design, more templates, integrations, protected search traffic, extra markets, B2B rules, content rework. What comes back is a band, plus the package that band usually lands in and the two or three choices doing most of the damage to it.

01

Where the numbers come from

The floor is the published entry price for a Launch Setup: audit, storefront deployed and connected to your WooCommerce, cart and checkout verified, a basic redirect map. Everything above that is additive scope, priced the way it is actually quoted — by the number of templates that need design and build, the number of systems that need connecting, and the amount of verification the store's search traffic deserves. The full package structure, including what each level includes, is on the pricing page, and the ongoing Care Plan starts at $150 a month for stores without an in-house developer.

  • Floor: Launch Setup, from $1,999
  • Adders priced per template, per integration, per market
  • Care Plan from $150/mo, optional and separate
  • Anything above a mid-range band is scoped after an audit
02

Why a range and not a number

The honest gap between the low and high end of any storefront project is the unknown inside your plugin stack. A store with eight plugins and clean product data is a different job from a store with forty, three of which render checkout fields nobody remembers configuring. Nobody can tell which one you have from the outside, which is why serious quotes follow an audit and vague ones do not. Treat the low end as the version where nothing surprising is found, and the high end as the version where it is.

03

What moves the price most

In practice three choices dominate. Custom design is the largest single multiplier, because every bespoke template has to be designed, built, made responsive and QA'd. Integrations are second: each connected system adds its own failure modes and its own testing. Protected search traffic is third — a store with meaningful organic revenue needs a redirect map, metadata and structured data parity, and verification before and after the switch, and that work is not optional if the traffic pays your bills. Catalog size matters less than people expect, until it crosses into territory where browsing performance and filters need real engineering.

  • Custom design across many templates
  • Every integration you connect and must test
  • Search traffic that has to survive the switch
  • Selling rules: B2B tiers, subscriptions, multi-market pricing
04

What the range does not include

Hosting, domains, paid plugin licences and their renewals, payment processing percentages, product photography, copywriting, translation and any advertising budget are billed by their providers, not by the project. They are real costs and they belong in your plan, but folding them into a build quote is how people end up comparing two proposals that measure different things. The same goes for content: a rebuild presents your product information better, it does not write it.

05

How to compare two quotes with this

Put both proposals against the same list of questions this tool asks. A cheaper quote is only cheaper if it includes the redirect map, analytics parity, checkout testing and a staging environment. If it does not, you are not buying a smaller project — you are buying the same project with the risky parts deferred until they become emergencies. The redesign cost page walks through the line items a quote should name explicitly, and what to ask when it does not.

06

When the answer is a smaller job

A meaningful share of stores that ask for a rebuild need something cheaper: a plugin audit, image and caching work, a checkout fix, or a redesign of two templates rather than twenty. If your store converts acceptably and the complaint is mainly aesthetic, start with WooCommerce speed optimization or a scoped conversion pass and keep the budget. An estimator that only ever points at bigger projects would not be worth putting on a page.

07

Turning a range into a real number

The step between this band and a quote is an audit: the plugin list, the real field data, the checkout path, the URL inventory and the traffic that has to be protected. That is a short, evidence-producing exercise, and it ends either in a fixed scope and price or in a recommendation to do something smaller. Either way you are deciding with measurements instead of adjectives. Nothing you enter here is transmitted or stored — the estimate is computed in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a quote?
No. It is a planning range built from real package prices, meant to tell you whether a conversation is worth having and whether a quote you already hold is plausible. A firm price follows an audit of your actual store.
Why is the top of the range so much higher than the bottom?
Because plugin stacks and product data vary enormously between stores that look identical from the outside. The low end assumes nothing surprising is found; the high end assumes the normal amount of surprise. An audit collapses the gap.
Does the estimate include ongoing costs?
No. The Care Plan for updates, monitoring and fixes after launch starts at $150 a month and is optional. Hosting, paid plugin renewals and payment processing fees are billed by their providers.
Can the project be split into stages?
Usually yes, and for larger scopes it should be. Templates can be migrated in stages with each one measured against the old version, which spreads cost and keeps a rollback available at every step.
