Launch a professional, customized website built on BigCommerce, a powerful and cost-effective platform designed for retailers.

Why Your Retail Business Needs an E-Commerce Website

If you own a retail store and don’t yet have an online presence, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to grow your business. More and more customers expect the convenience of online shopping, and having an e-commerce website allows you to serve both local and nationwide buyers 24/7.

Your store will no longer be limited to foot traffic; an online store allows you to sell to customers anywhere.

Many shoppers prefer to buy online and pick up in-store. Your website can streamline this process.

Improve Brand Awareness

A website reinforces your brand, builds credibility, and helps you stand out from competitors.

Sell 24/7

Even when your physical store is closed, an e-commerce site lets you continue making sales.

Enhance Customer Experience

Provide detailed product information, showcase customer reviews, and offer a seamless shopping experience.

Connect with Google & Social Media

Integrate your website with Google Business, Facebook, and Instagram to drive traffic and sales.

If you are looking to have a new website created, then I highly recommend Duck Soup E-Commerce. Danielle is prompt, focused, detailed with excellent follow-through. It was a delight to rely on someone with deep and practical experience in designing, updating, and reviewing websites; Danielle was willing to go above and beyond.

– Cohen, The Lime Market

I have worked with scores of designers and developers since first working in online retail in 1997 and have to say Danielle stands head and shoulders above the rest. One night, while we we’re reviewing the most recent updates to our site, my business partner said “We should open more businesses so Danielle can build the websites.
