Website development falls into three main categories. Static websites have fixed content that does not change unless a developer manually updates it — fast and simple, but not suited for stores or frequently updated businesses. Database-driven websites pull content in real time and update based on user interaction — ecommerce stores, blogs, and portals fall here. Custom web applications are built from scratch for specific business logic that no platform handles out of the box — the most expensive and time-consuming type. For most product-based businesses, a Shopify store is the right database-driven solution. For service businesses, WordPress website development is often the better fit.

A basic Shopify store with a standard theme and straightforward setup can go live in 5 to 7 working days. A custom-designed store — going through Figma approval, development, and integration — typically takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on complexity and how quickly you provide feedback during design. We share a clear timeline before starting and hold to it. The most common cause of delays in web projects is slow client feedback, which is why our process is structured around getting your approvals at the right moments.

Shopify is better if you want a reliable, low-maintenance store focused on selling. WooCommerce gives more control and lower subscription costs but requires you to manage hosting, plugin updates, and security yourself. For most product-based businesses in India without an in-house technical team, Shopify is the cleaner and more reliable choice. We make this assessment for you in the discovery call — based on your actual situation, not on what is more profitable for us to build.

Yes — and this is something we plan for deliberately. After delivery, we hold a live training call and give you full written documentation covering how to add and update content, manage products and orders, apply discounts, and read your analytics reports. Most of our clients manage their websites independently within a week of the training. If you prefer to hand off the ongoing technical side, our Website AMC service handles that for you.

Every website we build includes a proper SEO foundation — clean URLs, configured meta tags, schema markup, optimized images, and a fast codebase. This gives you a real starting point on Google. Ranking competitively for your target keywords also requires ongoing work — content creation, backlink building, and regular technical SEO. We build the foundation into every project. If you want to grow organic traffic consistently after launch, our SEO service handles that part on a monthly basis.

Yes. We handle complete migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, and custom platforms. This includes products, customer records, and order history. We also set up 301 redirects from your old URLs to new ones so your existing Google rankings are protected through the transition. The migration happens in a staging environment — your current site stays live throughout the entire process.

Shopify supports all major Indian payment gateways. We integrate Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree, CCAvenue, Instamojo, and PayTM depending on your business model and transaction volume. We also configure UPI, Cash on Delivery, and EMI options where needed. Shopify Payments is not currently available in India, but the alternatives we set up give your customers a smooth and trusted checkout experience.

Yes. We are based in Nangloi, New Delhi, but work with clients across India — Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and beyond. All discovery calls, design reviews, testing walkthroughs, and training sessions happen over video call. Location has no impact on the quality or speed of our work. We also serve businesses specifically looking for website development in Gurgaon and nearby NCR areas.

A freelancer is a good option for a small, well-defined task. For a complete website — design, development, payment setup, SEO foundation, testing, and post-launch support — you need a team with different skill sets working together. An agency gives you accountability, structured delivery, and ongoing support that a solo developer cannot consistently provide. At Digital Marketing Cube, you also get a team that understands how your website needs to perform in search results and paid campaigns — not just how it looks.
