Absolutely not! If you have many products, we will do a custom quote and consider using a CSV import/export functionality to help manage your product listings more efficiently. This means we would customize a template for a single product page that suits your brand, and then have you provide us with a well-formatted CSV file that can be uploaded to update your products. Please note that we will need your help in filling out the CSV files as we do not know your products as well as you!

Yes! After each of our E-Commerce website design projects, we provide training for our clients so that they can manage the websites themselves.

However, that doesn’t mean we disappear after the job is done. We also offer website hosting and maintenance packages for our clients should they choose to remain with us to take care of their website moving forward. 

At CryoDragon, we really do specialize in custom E-Commerce website and graphic design. We wouldn’t say we specialized in that if we did not create custom websites! Since we can develop websites on almost any platform, we re capable of developing custom web solutions for a multitude of applications.

This question is directed at WordPress websites, so let’s take a step back and first understand what the difference is between a template and a theme.

• A WordPress theme is something that you install in the WordPress content management system and activate so that you can apply a certain design and/or style to your entire site. Let’s call these global design settings.
• A theme is made up of numerous templates that govern the layout and structure of different types of pages. These are considered localized design settings. 

Template-Based E-Commerce Websites: Frozen EC Package

WordPress themes can be purchased or custom-built. When you download or purchase a WordPress theme with pre-built templates and layouts, there will be limitations to how much customization is possible because these assets are very rigid. As web designers and developers, we do work with pre-built WordPress templates in our Frozen package, and we charge for the time that it takes to discover and understand the configuration fo the theme and its templates so that the website can be customized to where you want it to be.

By hiring professional web designers, we can ensure your website is built correctly using the theme. Another advantage is that we can employ shortcodes and pre-designed or pre-coded elements to speed up the process of website creation, which is handy when it comes to those who want a simple website with a short turnaround time. This means this is our lowest-priced package.

Completely Custom WordPress E-Commerce Theme with Custom Features: Cryo Package

Let’s move to the other end of the spectrum where we are looking at a completely custom WordPress theme. In such projects, the team at CryoDragon would sketch our wireframes and design mockups for approval prior to touching the core build of the website. Every part of the website will be a unique design, and we will be creating our own templates for your business from scratch so that they can be re-used easily when you want to create more pages down the road. 

With a custom website, you open your door to endless possibilities because we then have full control over the theme and how the website is built, allowing for easier integrations of third-party applications and custom apps should they be necessary. This is only offered in our Cryo package, which gives you the best of what we have to offer. Consequently, this is our highest-priced package.

Custom-Themed E-Commerce Websites from Framework: Arctic Package

Now, what if you want the best of both worlds: the customization from the Cryo package, but the lower budget from the Frozen package? We created the Arctic package for exactly this purpose. 

If you choose to go with the Arctic package, you will be getting a premium theme framework that essentially gives us a fairly blank slate to work with when it comes to web design. In such a website, we do a fully custom design, but instead of using pre-built templates, we use a mixture of custom-coded or pre-built elements (or widgets) to help speed up the process of creating the website. This means that you will get a completely custom website, with any layout you want, but with the use of customized elements that are now free from the limitations of the rigidity of a pre-built template.

At the end of the day, we quote our projects based on time, so the Arctic package is essentially a faster way for us to build a custom website, which helps us lower the cost of the project. 

We are very transparent with our prices and do not have any “hidden costs”.

Our pricing structure varies depending on the type of project we take on. For the majority of our website design and graphic design services, we charge an hourly rate of $100/hour + HST because every project is unique. Please see the question above for more details on why our packages are priced differently.

Absolutely! During the design and development phase of the project, CryoDragon Inc. will own the copyright to all design components. When the website is launched and the final payment received, the ownership and copyright of the website will be passed on to our clients.

Yes, we do! At CryoDragon, we offer two options for our clients: host with us, or host elsewhere. We will work with whichever option is best for you. 

We offer competitive prices for our premium hosting services, and those who host with us do receive incentives on maintenance packages as premium web hosting is included in all of our maintenance packages along with SSL certificates to give you https:// in front of your domain. All of our hosting is upgradable as well so that you can rest assured you are getting the best prices we have to offer. 

Each of our clients will have a lot of input with the website design, especially for the custom sites. For every website that we build, we have a demo site that is placed on our staging servers that you can monitor and provide feedback on it whenever we update the site. Depending on the web design package you get, the number of revisions will vary, with custom design packages allowing for more rounds of revisions.
