speaks for itself
Thundertrails
Passion for mountain biking, outdoor adventure, and premium gear inspired the founders of Thundertrails to launch their specialized bike shop in 2019. What began as a local favorite for cycling enthusiasts has rapidly grown into one of the region's premier destinations for high-performance mountain bikes and accessories. With a loyal customer base and growing reputation, Thundertrails needed a digital presence that matched their in-store experience and could support their expansion plans.
Chuxly
Founded by audio engineers with a passion for exceptional sound quality, Chuxly emerged in 2021 as a boutique brand dedicated to creating premium headphones and portable speakers. Combining cutting-edge acoustic technology with elegant, minimalist design, Chuxly quickly gained recognition among audiophiles and style-conscious consumers alike. As demand for their products grew beyond their flagship store, Chuxly needed an online platform that could communicate the unique sensory experience of their products while handling their expanding inventory and customer base.
Golden Drips
Golden Drips began as a family-owned apiary in 2018, producing small-batch, artisanal honey varieties from carefully selected floral sources. Their commitment to sustainable beekeeping practices and exceptionally pure, unprocessed honey products quickly earned them a devoted following at farmers' markets and specialty food stores. As demand for their premium honey and bee pollen products surged, Golden Drips recognized the need to expand their reach beyond local markets while maintaining the artisanal quality and personal connection that defined their brand.

Questions?
Answers.
How long does it take to build an e-commerce website?
The timeline for building an e-commerce website depends on the complexity of your project. A basic online store can typically be launched in 4-6 weeks, while more complex sites with custom functionality may take 8-16 weeks. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline based on your specific requirements and business goals.
Which e-commerce platform do you recommend?
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. The best platform depends on your specific business needs, budget, and long-term goals. We have expertise in Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Wix, and custom solutions. During our discovery process, we'll assess your requirements and recommend the platform that offers the best balance of features, flexibility, and scalability for your business.
How much does an e-commerce website cost?
E-commerce website costs vary widely based on your business requirements. Our starter stores begin at $5,900, growth-focused stores at $7,500, and enterprise solutions at $10,000. We provide transparent, detailed quotes for each project after understanding your specific needs. Factors that affect pricing include design complexity, number of products, custom functionality, and integrations with other business systems.
Do you provide ongoing support after launch?
Absolutely! We understand that launching your store is just the beginning of your e-commerce journey. We offer flexible maintenance and support plans starting at $495 per month, which include platform updates, security patches, content updates, and technical support. We also provide growth-focused services such as conversion optimization, A/B testing, and performance enhancements for businesses looking to continuously improve their online stores.
What sets Fonts & Footers apart from other web development agencies?
Unlike general web developers, we specialize exclusively in e-commerce, with deep expertise across multiple business models including B2C, B2B, marketplaces, subscription services, and more. Our approach balances beautiful design with data-driven strategy, ensuring your store not only looks great but delivers measurable business results. We take a limited number of clients to provide personalized attention, and our focus on long-term partnerships means we're invested in your success far beyond the initial launch.
