BigCommerce Developer & Development Agency

IDP provides professional BigCommerce development for businesses that need more than a standard e-commerce website. Our developers build, customize and support BigCommerce stores with a focus on usability, performance and the technical requirements behind successful online sales.

Whether you’re launching a new BigCommerce store, redesigning an existing website, integrating BigCommerce with other business systems or developing custom functionality, IDP can help turn the platform into an e-commerce solution built around your business.

As an experienced web development company, we combine BigCommerce development with website design, custom programming, API integration, search engine optimization and ongoing technical support. That means you can work with one development team from initial planning through launch and continued growth.

Custom BigCommerce Development

BigCommerce provides businesses with a powerful foundation for selling online, but every e-commerce business operates differently. Products, customers, pricing, fulfillment, inventory and internal processes can create requirements that aren’t solved by an out-of-the-box storefront.

That’s where an experienced BigCommerce developer can make a difference.

IDP develops BigCommerce websites around the needs of the business rather than forcing the business to fit a generic template. We can customize the customer-facing storefront while also developing the integrations and functionality needed behind the scenes.

IDP has added BigCommerce E-Commerce website development to our arsenal of E-Commerce solutions. IDP is a certified BigCommerce developer partner. This means that we are qualified to build BigCommerce E-Commerce websites. IDP has completed the required training and has experience building BigCommerce websites. Our company profile is available on the BigCommerce Directory Partner page.

From straightforward storefront improvements to complex integrations, our goal is to create a BigCommerce website that supports both your customers and your business operations.

BigCommerce Website Design & Storefront Development

A successful e-commerce website needs to do more than look good. Customers need to find products quickly, understand what they’re purchasing and move through the checkout process without unnecessary obstacles.

IDP designs and develops BigCommerce storefronts with the complete shopping experience in mind.

We can customize page layouts, navigation, product categories, product pages, calls to action and other storefront elements to create an experience appropriate for your products and customers.

Our developers also make sure the website works across desktop, tablet and mobile devices. With customers increasingly researching and purchasing products from mobile devices, responsive e-commerce design is an essential part of a modern online store.

The result is a BigCommerce storefront designed around your brand without losing sight of the website’s primary purpose: helping customers find and purchase your products.

BigCommerce Theme Development & Customization

A pre-built BigCommerce theme can be a useful starting point, but many businesses eventually need design or functionality beyond what a standard theme provides.

IDP can customize existing BigCommerce themes or develop storefront experiences tailored to specific business requirements.

Theme development can include changes to:

Headers and navigation
Homepage layouts
Product and category pages
Product filtering and search
Promotional content
Calls to action
Responsive layouts
Checkout-related user experience
Custom page templates
Brand styling and visual elements

Our developers work within the BigCommerce platform while considering maintainability and future updates. The objective isn’t simply to make the site look different—it is to create a storefront that works effectively for your customers and can continue evolving with your business.

BigCommerce API & Third-Party Integrations

For many established businesses, the e-commerce website is only one part of a much larger technology environment.

Product information may originate in another database. Inventory may be managed through an ERP. Customer information may need to flow into a CRM. Orders may need to connect with accounting, fulfillment, shipping or other internal systems.

IDP develops custom BigCommerce integrations that help these systems communicate.

Using BigCommerce APIs and other available integration methods, our development team can build connections between your online store and the applications your business relies on.

BigCommerce integrations may include:

ERP systems
CRM platforms
Inventory management systems
Product information management systems
Accounting software
Shipping and fulfillment providers
Payment services
Marketing platforms
Customer databases
Custom internal applications
Third-party APIs

When an existing application or connector doesn’t meet your requirements, custom integration can help eliminate repetitive manual processes and keep information synchronized between systems.

BigCommerce Product Catalog & Data Development

Large or complex product catalogs can create development challenges of their own.

Products may have numerous options, variants, categories, specifications or custom data requirements. Information may also need to be imported from existing databases, spreadsheets or other e-commerce platforms.

IDP can help organize and implement product data within BigCommerce and develop processes for moving information between systems.

Depending on the project, this may involve product imports, category architecture, custom fields, product options, image handling or integrations with external product-management systems.

A well-organized catalog doesn’t just make administration easier. It can also improve navigation, product discovery and the overall customer experience.

BigCommerce SEO

Building an e-commerce website and making it discoverable in search engines are closely connected.

IDP has been developing search-engine-friendly websites for more than two decades, and SEO can be incorporated into a BigCommerce project from the beginning rather than treated as an afterthought.

Our BigCommerce SEO work can include:

Keyword and competitor research
Product and category page optimization
Page titles and meta descriptions
Website architecture
Internal linking
URL and redirect planning
Duplicate-content review
Technical SEO
Structured data review
Website performance
Content development
Google Search Console analysis

SEO is particularly important during an e-commerce redesign or migration. Changing URLs, categories or website architecture without a migration strategy can result in broken links and lost organic search visibility.

When rebuilding an existing e-commerce website, IDP can evaluate current URLs and search performance before launch and create an appropriate redirect strategy for pages that need to move.

BigCommerce Migration & Website Redesign

Businesses don’t always start on BigCommerce.

You may have outgrown another e-commerce platform, inherited an outdated website or reached a point where maintaining the existing store has become unnecessarily difficult.

IDP can help businesses plan and implement a migration to BigCommerce.

A migration may involve much more than transferring products. Depending on the existing website, we may also need to account for:

Products and variants
Product categories
Images
Customer information
Order information
Website content
Existing URLs
Search engine rankings
Third-party integrations
Payment and shipping configuration
Custom business functionality

Careful planning is particularly important for established e-commerce websites because the existing site may already have years of customer usage, search visibility and links pointing to its pages.

Our team approaches migration as both a development project and a website transition, with the goal of preserving valuable information and functionality while improving the new storefront.

Ongoing BigCommerce Development & Support

An e-commerce website isn’t finished when it launches.

Products change. Business processes evolve. New integrations become necessary. Marketing teams need landing pages. Customers encounter issues that reveal opportunities to improve the shopping experience.

IDP provides ongoing BigCommerce development and technical support after launch.

Instead of needing to find a new developer every time the website requires a change, you can continue working with a team that understands the website, its integrations and the business requirements behind it.

Ongoing work can include troubleshooting, storefront enhancements, new functionality, API development, performance improvements, SEO changes and other technical needs as the store evolves.

Why Choose IDP as Your BigCommerce Development Agency?

Choosing a BigCommerce development agency isn’t only about finding someone who can modify a theme.

E-commerce projects can involve web design, programming, databases, APIs, product information, search optimization, hosting infrastructure and business processes. Solving those challenges often requires experience across multiple disciplines.

IDP has been designing and developing websites since 2003. Our team brings web design, custom development, API integration and search engine optimization together under one roof.

Experienced Web Developers

Our developers work with e-commerce websites as part of a broader background in custom website and application development. That experience is especially valuable when a BigCommerce project requires functionality outside a standard theme or application.

Custom Development Capabilities

When an existing extension or connector can’t solve the problem, our development team can evaluate custom solutions and integrations based on your requirements.

SEO Experience

Our web developers and SEO team can work together during redesigns, migrations and ongoing optimization so search visibility is considered alongside development decisions.

Direct, Ongoing Support

IDP develops long-term relationships with our clients. After the initial BigCommerce project is complete, our team can continue supporting and improving the website as your business changes.

More Than a BigCommerce Storefront

We look at how the e-commerce website fits into the larger business. That can include internal databases, external applications, marketing systems, product-management processes and other technology that needs to work alongside BigCommerce.

Web Design Customer Testimonials

Berkley Alliance Managers

Alliance Insurance Brokerage

To be a client for 10 years, IDP is obviously doing business the right way. Their expertise and customer service is beyond comparison. I highly recommend them.

Southwest Risk

We worked with IDP on two insurance pool website designs. From the start, IDP’s impressive communication skills, patience, and speed have helped us meet our deadlines and bring beautiful, functional sites to our customers. They provide excellent service to everyone they deal with, which became obvious when a third party change recently affected our site. IDP reacted immediately, and the solid relationship they had in place with the third party led to a quick fix, with minimal client disruption. Now I am confident the web hosting phase will run as smoothly as development has! I highly recommend IDP to businesses in need of their service.

Doug Herriott, OD

Eyecare Associates of Lees Summit

We have use IDP for several years. We had a professionally designed website for many years with another company but found when we searched for ourselves we seldom came up on the first page in organic search. Once we switched to IDP within a few weeks we were coming up on the top of organic search in several keywords relating to our business. We have remained that way as IDP has periodically made changes in our website to keep our content current and relevant for the search engines. One of the reasons we were slow to switch was the perceived amount of it would take to redo the website. This was not the case. We had to give some basic content but IDP quickly built us a very nice and effective website. We were very pleased at how turn key the process was. Monte and his staff really do a wonderful job. I cannot say enough good things about them or how pleased we are with the product and services they provide.

Kids TLC

IDP created a much more SEO and user friendly website for us nearly 5 years ago. They provide very prompt, courteous and accurate support! IDP looks for cost effective web option to help us maximize our site, when necessary.

The Auto Clinic

IDP has become a very important piece of the marketing strategy for The Auto Clinic. IDP has given our company a strong presence on the internet. I continue to receive positive comments related our website design from our customers and associates in the Lee’s Summit business community. Also, since IDP initiated their internet search engine advertising strategies, we have found more and more of our new customers are discovering our company through internet searching. Our positioning on the internet has allowed us to put our logo in front of our new and repeat customers. I have been very satisfied with my company’s exposure for the dollars spent.

We’ve been with Jill, Monte and the crew for roughly six years and they are awesome. We had tons of trouble with companies coming and going and our SEO just not working. Go IDP has taken all the stress out of our site and they are QUICK to respond. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

Brad Runnebaum

The entire team at Internet Design & Publishing has been fantastic to work with. I recommend them to everyone that I know.

Vaught Roofing, Inc.

I just wanted to take time to let you know how much we appreciate the web hosting / web design services you have provided us the past several years. I’ll never forgot how concerned I was when my past web host went out of business and forced me to look elsewhere. I thought I had a good web host, but once I switched to IDP it wasn’t long before I realized the quality of services IDP provides are far superior to those I had been receiving! Since choosing IDP to be my webhost some 7+ years ago, you have performed services which have improved my search engine results to a level I never expected possible (i.e. #1 or #2 ranking on just about every pertinent search criteria)!

HumanaNatura Natural Health Community

IDP helped to turn our good website into a great one, with their redesign resulting in a web traffic increase of 600% in the first three months. The team is knowledgeable, patient, and easy to work with – taking our ideas, bringing their own, and synthesizing our best thinking into reality. Our globally-oriented site now has the level of polish that it needed, making our content come alive and attracting much greater interest and word of mouth referrals. Thanks guys!

A great job customizing our business web page, made great suggestions to improve upon our own ideas and delivered a product exactly how we wanted! Highly recommend.

Kerry McCane

After referring a couple of clients to IDP for products, I’ve finally had the opportunity to work with them directly on a complete redesign of my company’s website. They have been fantastic to work with – knowledgeable, thorough and very, very patient. They are willing and able to take on the needs of very unique businesses, companies that need much more than just a basic ecommerce presence. I look forward to continuing to work with the team as we continue to launch new products that require even more challenging integrations.

Nick A. Cutrera

Law Offices of Nick A. Cutrera, LLC

I was satisfied with my firm’s existing website when a friend recommended that I ask IDP to evaluate it. I decided that an evaluation wouldn’t hurt, and I’m glad I did. IDP transformed our website from a generic, informational site into our second biggest revenue generator, only behind client referrals. The website has been so successful in generating new business that I have been able to substantially reduce marketing dollars spent elsewhere. In addition, IDP’s fast response to requests for changes to the site is impressive. I recommend IDP to any company looking to grow its business and to better serve its existing customers.

Etap Communications

We began working with IDP on a mutual client’s website redesign. They were so easy to work with and were always available to answer any questions. The process to get the new site up was seamless and the client was extremely pleased too!

Loren Shanks

Community Buying Group

Monte and Jill are great to work with. We’ve used them for several projects and have always done a great job! They do great work in a short amount of time. Our company has every intention to continue to use them in the future.

Performance Furniture

About 3 years ago we were searching for a new web design and SEO company, and when we put the word out we were looking 3 separate companies recommended IDP. In fact we had very few other recommendations. We have a unique direct sales strategy for our high end TV Furniture, TV Cabinets, and TV Consoles and IDP has helped us to market Performance Furniture locally as well as nationwide. Their approach to SEO is very straightforward where we know what is happening and can track our results. Very satisfied with IDP.

Thoroughbred Ford

We have worked with Internet Design & Publishing since 2003 and they have been nothing but fantastic. Their response time to our requests is incredible. They have helped us redesign our websites, several times and every time they finish on time and on budget. They manage our internet marketing and are always on top of it. When we have asked for the impossible, they have always found a way to work it out. I am constantly impressed with their knowledge and creativity. I could not recommend another website designer more. Should anyone be looking for more information on IDP, feel free to contact us.

Kennedy Graphics

It was a pleasure working with IDP. They gave us a quote that was easy to understand and competetitively priced. Everything was completed on or before schedule and within budget. We made some additions/tweaks to the system during the process and to our delight they responded promptly and handled all of our concerns and helped us figure out how to accomplish our goals. Follow-up after the project has been excellent. We will certainly look to IDP for our future needs and have already recommended them to several business associates and friends.

Project One Integrated Services

IDP finally allowed us to have a quality website that reflects our company, message and high level of service we provide to our clients. The process went smoothly and quickly and we are thrilled with the final results. I would recommend using IDP to any company with website needs.

Brian Buffington

iResQ

I have been working with IDP since around 2010 (currently 2016) and am pleased with their work. They are fair and trustworthy. I have recommended them to several friends and colleagues and will continue to do so.

Amanda Covey

The Tub Connection

I’ve worked with IDP in the past but never as extensively, nor in as large a capacity as we have for the last 18 months. The projects we have completed have required grave attention to detail and near constant communication which I am happy to say made all the difference in the world. I recommend IDP highly, and look forward to working with them in the future!
