What is a custom webshop?
A custom webshop is built around your range and the way you sell, not around the limits of a template. Design, product structure, payment and shipping connect to the systems you already use.
In a time when online shopping has become the norm, launching your own online store is a smart move for entrepreneurs who want to grow. But how do you get started? Zenjoy can help you get started.
Having a shop like that built is a process with several steps. From strategy and understanding your goals, through design to programming and launching: every phase calls for custom work with the right expertise and care.
At Zenjoy we start from a custom design that sets your brand apart from the competition: a shop of your own that is not only good-looking, but also intuitive and easy to use. We have 100% freedom in the way we build your shop, without being tied to templates or predefined structures.
Do you work with particular CRM, ERP or POS software, but are you unhappy with its built-in sales module? No worries, we integrate seamlessly with your existing systems. Our experience in linking and automating systems means your new online store connects flawlessly to the processes you already have.
At Zenjoy, the customer is central. We look at the bigger picture and are happy to work with you for a longer period of time. We listen to your wishes, understand your goals and work closely with you to develop a website that meets all your expectations and the regulations around online sales.
With years of experience developing websites, payment pages, membership platforms and e-commerce systems, we have a proven track record. Our team combines creativity with technical knowledge to create digital products that leave a lasting impression and deliver results.
In order to have a professional online store created, a thorough analysis and preliminary research is crucial. We take the time to study your company, your target group and your competition. Together we determine the objectives and the functionalities needed for your e-commerce platform. It is not just about aesthetics: it is about making your audience feel understood and appreciated, where you use words, colors and illustrations that your target group can recognize themselves in.
Together we discuss concrete goals and deadlines. We draw up a detailed project plan with clear milestones. In doing so, we take your wishes and timelines into account. By being well prepared, any obstacles can be better tackled. A project is alive and constantly evolving, which is why it is essential to know where we stand at any time, to be flexible and to adjust where necessary.
A well-structured navigation and a strategic SEO approach are necessary for the success of your online store. We create a clear sitemap that seamlessly leads your visitors to your products and improves findability in search engines. As part of that, we decide how your category pages are built up, what information belongs on your product pages and whether you need multiple languages. Our SEO experts ensure that your site scores well in Google and other search engines, so that it attracts visitors even without advertising.
Before we start designing your shop, we first create wireframes. These are simple sketches that show the layout and functionality of each page. Wireframes help us optimize the user experience and ensure that all important elements are present. They form the basis for the final design. We often bring these wireframes to life in an interactive mockup, so that you can really try out the proposed structure before the first letter of code is written.
Originality is the key to a good online presence. That is why we create a unique and professional design for each project that is fully tailored to your brand, your target group and your taste. No reused templates or templates that you have seen elsewhere, but a fresh design tailored to your needs. Our designers work with style elements that we let recur throughout the site for a recognizable brand experience.
Creating content that really resonates with your target audience is a major challenge. After all, it is not just about informative texts, but also about content that resonates with your audience and encourages action. We process the supplied content ourselves or, if desired, call in specialized copywriters to finish everything into a harmonious whole. In addition to strong textual content, we also pay a lot of attention to collecting the right images. Especially in e-commerce, the right photos and videos on every page strengthen your message and ensure an attractive and compelling user experience.
Once the design and content have been approved, our developers will get to work bringing the design and your functionalities to life. We will build a solid, secure and responsive online store that matches your corporate identity. We connect your payment system — Mollie, for example — and your shipping through a platform like Sendcloud, and we keep the loading time of your product and category pages short. We will also pay extra attention to the accessibility of your website, so that it meets the Anysurfer guidelines. Throughout the process, we will keep you informed of the progress of your project through regular demos and feedback moments.
Before the website goes live, we perform thorough testing to check everything down to the last detail. We check every aspect, from payment processes to responsiveness across devices. Of course, we also ask for your feedback and that of a select group of users to refine the user experience and fix any issues.
Once your site is completely ready, your project can go live and online sales can begin: an important moment, for you and for us. We are ready to ensure that the launch goes smoothly and are ready to intervene quickly if necessary. But the story doesn't stop there! To ensure that your website gets the attention it deserves, it is crucial to promote it through various channels. We lay the foundation for this, so that you can immediately get started on social media.
The work doesn’t stop after launch. It’s important to keep your site alive and maintain it. A unique advantage at Zenjoy is our own CMS platform — Nimbu — which means that maintenance is not a technical task, but you can really build your webshop on content. After all, Nimbu is permanently maintained and kept secure, hosting included. This means that you can spend more time and budget on optimizing based on user feedback, analytics and performance data.
Having an online store built is a process of quite a few steps. The lead time varies depending on the complexity and scope of your project. On average, we take 8 to 12 weeks from concept to launch. For projects with a lot of custom work, this can run up to 6 months. Together we determine a realistic timeline.
Keeping an online store affordable matters to us. That is why we define the scope sharply before we start.
What you end up paying depends on a number of factors:
That is why we always start with a free exploratory conversation: getting to know each other, listening to your needs and expectations and explaining how we work. On that basis we work out a transparent and detailed quote tailored to you, with a fixed scope and without hidden costs.
We have experience connecting with a wide range of software, including:
Absolutely! We provide a user-friendly CMS so that you can manage your products, product pages, orders and content yourself. We do not typically work with WooCommerce and Wordpress or Magento, but build on our platform Nimbu, which has already proven its flexibility and user-friendliness for many satisfied customers — self-employed and SMEs. All aspects of your online store are easy to adjust yourself. Of course, you will receive thorough training and documentation upon delivery. And you can always call on our support for questions or problems.
Yes, we believe in long-term relationships with our customers. After the launch, we provide various formulas for regular content maintenance and optimization. This way, your online store remains up to date, secure and fast: we keep an eye on hosting, loading times and security. And we help you grow with targeted improvements and new features.
