Web design & development · Bogart, GA
Choose the smallest website that can do the whole job.
A useful first decision is not which feature sounds impressive. It is whether customers need to enquire, buy a product, or complete a repeatable workflow. Web Design Pros helps Bogart-area owners define that job before choosing WordPress, WooCommerce, or custom application development.
A scoping worksheet, before a quote
Compare the work hidden inside three different requests.
Use this table as a first-conversation worksheet. These are hypothetical planning examples, not actual client specifications. The feature labels make visible why a simple enquiry site, an online catalog, and an operational app need different estimates.
For each row, write down what already exists, what must connect, who owns the content or data, and what a successful test looks like. Unknown answers are useful—they become scope questions rather than surprises.
Worksheet · service enquiry / online store / business workflow
Make the requirements concrete enough to estimate.
| Scope question | Service enquiry website | WooCommerce purchasing | Custom workflow application |
|---|---|---|---|
| What must a visitor do? | Understand services and coverage, then request a quote or call the right team. | Compare products and options, add a suitable item to cart, pay, and understand delivery. | Complete or monitor a defined business task, possibly across several steps or users. |
| Information to prepare | Service descriptions, actual service area, frequently asked questions, contact routing, and form fields. | Product names, descriptions, images, prices, variation rules, stock, shipping and returns details. | Data fields, process rules, sample records, roles, permissions, retention needs, and exception cases. |
| Key choices | Which requests qualify? Who receives them? What confirmation should the customer see? | Which variations change price or stock? Which payment, tax, shipping, and account requirements apply? | Who can view, create, edit, approve, export, or delete records? What happens when a step fails? |
| Connections to check | Email delivery, calendar or CRM routing, analytics, spam controls, and consent needs. | Payment provider, shipping rules, tax setup, inventory or fulfillment tools, and extension compatibility. | Existing systems, APIs, data import/export, authentication, notifications, and ongoing access control. |
| Useful acceptance test | Submit test requests on phone and desktop; verify receipt, routing, and a useful response path. | Test representative products, all important variations, stock behavior, payment, shipping, confirmation, and refund/cancellation handling. | Walk through each role’s allowed actions, normal and error paths, data visibility, integration behavior, and recovery. |
Bring a few examples, not just a feature list. A sample enquiry, sample product with its options, or sketch of a workflow often reveals the important edge cases faster than the phrase “make it like an app.”
Real project context · Curb Ramp
Product choices need to be clear before checkout.
The screenshots above show Curb Ramp, a WooCommerce project with product dimensions and variation choices alongside purchasing controls; the site also includes a Visual Ramp Guide to explain product use. Curb Ramp and Web Design Pros share common ownership.
For your store, start with the decisions customers actually make: what differs among products, which options affect price or availability, what shipping rules apply, and what information reduces uncertainty before purchase. A selector that looks simple can depend on carefully structured product data or an extension. Read the Curb Ramp case study for more project context.
WooCommerce provides a flexible foundation, but specific behavior may require configuration, paid extensions, custom code, or an integration. Compatibility and third-party fees must be checked against your selected services; a plugin name by itself is not a full requirements specification.
Content, build, and launch
WordPress editing is part of the handoff plan.
For a standard content site, decide who supplies page copy and images, who reviews facts, and which content your staff should update themselves. A practical handoff can cover agreed editing tasks and where account access lives. It does not make complex custom behavior maintenance-free.
If you already have a website, make an inventory of active URLs, useful content, forms, integrations, and tracking before redesign. Keep a backup, plan redirects when a URL changes, and test important pages and enquiry routes after launch. A new platform may also affect email, hosting, or external connections; include those in the dependency check.
A quote is easier to compare when it states:
- Pages, templates, and content responsibilities.
- Functionality, product/setup limits, and which requirements are configuration versus custom code.
- Named integrations, account owners, external subscription or transaction fees, and compatibility assumptions.
- Testing, launch, access, backup, and handoff tasks.
- Items excluded or reserved for a separate phase, with a process for changing scope.
Do not infer features from the starter price. Three-page websites start at $995. That offer is not an assumption that a WooCommerce store, custom app, integration, product catalog, or extensive content entry is included.
Price and ongoing responsibility
Understand the build and the costs around it.
Three-page websites start at $995; final pricing depends on the agreed scope. Full WooCommerce stores, custom applications, integrations, larger catalogs, and migrations with technical dependencies are scoped separately. See the website pricing guide, WordPress services, eCommerce development, and custom application development.
Monthly maintenance is optional, not required. Hosting, updates, maintenance, and SEO support can be discussed separately. Domains, hosting, paid extensions, and payment providers can have independent charges. Ask who will handle updates, backups, failed payments, product changes, and integration issues once the build is handed over.

Bogart website-development questions
Prepare for a useful first scope conversation.
Can a simple three-page site grow into a store or app later?
Share likely future requirements early so the initial structure can be considered. A later store or application would need its own requirements review, compatibility check, scope, and estimate.
What is included in the $995 website starting price?
Three-page websites start at $995. WooCommerce stores, product catalog setup, custom applications, integrations, and advanced workflows are scoped separately. Ask for the included pages, content responsibilities, functions, testing, and handoff in writing.
How should I prepare if my website needs an integration?
Name the exact service and account, describe what data should move in each direction, identify who owns access, and provide any vendor documentation or test environment. Integration availability, permissions, compatibility, and third-party fees must be confirmed rather than assumed.
How much content should I have before work begins?
At minimum, gather service or product facts, desired customer actions, existing brand material, and any regulatory or operational requirements. Decide who drafts and approves the copy. For a store, prepare representative products and variations; for an app, prepare example records and workflow rules.
Is monthly maintenance required?
No. Hosting, maintenance, and SEO support are optional. Domains, hosting providers, paid extensions, and payment services may have separate ongoing charges.
What should I prepare before choosing WooCommerce?
Gather a representative product list, prices, variation rules, images, stock approach, shipping requirements, and payment-provider preferences. Note any existing inventory or fulfillment system so compatibility can be reviewed as part of the scope.
