Website, online store and CRM integration creation

How long turnkey website creation takes

A custom-designed website usually takes from a few weeks: business cards and landings are faster; a corporate WordPress site with a blog and integrations takes longer. We lock the exact calendar after the brief.

What affects the timeline (typical reasons deadlines slip):

• Content. No copy or photos ready at layout time — the project waits while you gather them.
• Approvals. More than 2–3 design revision rounds without a fixed brief stretch the stage by a week+.
• Integrations. CRM, payments or 1C add 3–10 working days depending on API access readiness.
• Migration. Moving from another CMS needs a 301 redirect map and separate indexation QA.

We lock the stage price in the contract after the brief; payment follows a demo of the completed scope. Current ranges are in the services block above and on the pricing page.

When you need an online store, not a landing

You need a store if the customer must pick a product from a catalog, pay online and get a shipping label. A landing with a “Order on Telegram” button doesn’t cover that flow.

Three outcomes of launching a “store” on a builder without a proper admin:

• Manual stock. A manager updates prices in a spreadsheet — it drifts from Nova Poshta and the marketplace within 1–2 weeks.
• Lost payments. Without LiqPay/Monobank sandbox tests, some orders fail at the gateway and the customer thinks “the site is broken”.
• SEO holes. Filter duplicates and missing canonicals cut category indexation in the first month.

On OpenCart the Start package covers basic sales: catalog, cart, one payment method, Nova Poshta, product import, SEO URLs and sitemap. Timeline and estimate come after the brief, once assortment and integrations are clear.

OpenCart or WordPress: which to choose

Short rule: catalog + cart + delivery = OpenCart; company + blog + ad landings = WordPress.

• OpenCart. Convenient order admin, LiqPay/WayForPay/Monobank and Nova Poshta modules ready for Ukrainian e-commerce.
• WordPress. Editors update pages and news without a developer; WooCommerce only for a small assortment.
• Migration. From Horoshop, Prom, Tilda, ShopExpress we migrate products, customers and SEO URLs; a 301 map is mandatory, or rankings drop within 2–4 weeks.

When WordPress is the better choice

Choose WordPress if the team updates content weekly and doesn’t want to wait on a developer for every text change.

• Corporate site with service sections, team and case studies
• Blog as an expertise channel and long conversational Google queries
• Landing pages for Meta/Google Ads with separate forms and GA4 goals
• Small sales of services or products on WooCommerce (dozens of SKUs, not thousands)

Anti-case: a site on a “free theme + 40 plugins” often hits LCP over 4s on mobile. We limit the stack, check Core Web Vitals before handoff and leave a guide for safe updates.

What breaks when leads go to email only

Without CRM, leads disappear in inboxes: duplicates, no owner, no “call back” status.

• KeyCRM / Bitrix24. The site form creates a deal with fields, a source tag and a manager by assignment rules.
• Telephony and chats. Calls and messages from the site land in the same funnel, not three different messengers.
• E-commerce. Order status in the store syncs with CRM so the manager doesn’t ask “have you paid yet?”.

Simple form handoff to CRM usually takes a few days; a store + delivery + accounting takes longer. We give an estimate after a short look at your access.

Which APIs we connect most often

Via API we connect the site to what the business already uses: warehouse, checkout, delivery, marketplaces.

• Payments. LiqPay, WayForPay, Monobank (including installments)
• Delivery. Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, Meest — rates and shipping labels
• Accounting. BAS / 1C, Poster — prices and stock without manual Excel
• Marketplaces. Rozetka, Prom — so product cards don’t drift from the site

We ship integrations with logs and error handling: if the gateway fails at 11pm, you see the reason — not “the order just didn’t arrive”.

What’s included in website tech support

After release a site “rots” without updates: plugin vulnerabilities, outdated PHP, missing backups.

• CMS and critical plugin / module updates
• Backups and restore checks
• Uptime monitoring
• Small fixes within the package (copy, banners, minor bugs)

For a store, an hour of peak downtime means lost orders; so incident response is fixed in the support package terms.

How to order website creation without prepayment

You talk to the developer directly — via Telegram or phone. Reply to an inquiry: within one business day (Mon–Fri 8:00–20:00).

Collaboration format:

1. Brief 1–2 days. Goals, pages, integrations, rough estimate and calendar.
2. Design. Key screens for desktop and phone; revisions within agreed rounds.
3. Development. Layout, CMS, forms, payments/delivery as needed.
4. Launch. QA, domains, guide for the team.
5. 30-day warranty. Bug fixes in delivered features at no extra cost. New features — a separate stage.

Contract with fixed stages, NDA on request, staged payment after demos. The site, hosting and access stay yours — not “on the studio’s account”.
