We build online stores that are easy for your customers to shop and easy for you to manage. From product catalogs and shopping carts to payment processing and shipping integration, we handle the full setup so you can focus on running your business.

What We Build

Product Catalogs

Organized, searchable product listings with detailed descriptions, multiple images, pricing, and variants (size, color, etc.). We structure your catalog so customers can find what they're looking for quickly.

Shopping Cart and Checkout

A smooth, simple checkout process that minimizes cart abandonment. We implement guest checkout options, saved carts, and mobile-optimized checkout flows that make buying easy.

Payment Processing

Seamless integration with trusted payment providers including PayPal, Authorize.net, Stripe, and Square. Your customers can pay with credit cards, debit cards, and digital wallets securely.

Shipping Integration

Automated shipping calculations with major carriers including UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Customers see real-time shipping costs at checkout, and you get streamlined label printing and tracking.

Inventory Management

Track stock levels, set low-inventory alerts, and manage product availability. For businesses with physical inventory, we connect your online store to your real-world stock.

Promotions and Marketing

Built-in tools for coupon codes, discount programs, seasonal promotions, gift cards, and affiliate programs. Drive repeat business with email marketing integration and customer loyalty features.

"Our website needs aren't just a novelty, but a necessity since we do about 98% of our sales through the site. We needed a full rebuild... We are extremely happy to say that we got exactly what we had hoped for through Tree Top Web Design. Professionalism, accuracy and a beautiful streamlined and solid site built in a timely manner. We are absolutely THRILLED with our new site to say the least and I only wish we had found Tree Top 6 years ago when we first opened."
Kim Godinho - Owner | The Painted Cork
"Ross and Tree Top Web Design are great partners in our internet business. His company is quick and responsive. Ross keeps my company advised and current about our online needs so we don't have to worry about it. We have several websites and Ross and his team keep all the balls in the air very well. I can strongly recommend Ross and Tree Top Web Design."
Christopher Smith - President | The Mystery Spot
"For this year’s Firecracker 10K/5K/1K, we asked Ross from Tree Top Web Design to completely redesign our website. The results were spectacular. After Ross’s redesign, the site is a joy to access. And, best of all, this year’s race set an all time record for participation and revenues. The website redesign was a primary reason for the new record. THANKS ROSS!"
Jeff Kirk - Race Director | Santa Cruz Firecracker 10K

    eCommerce Platforms We Work With

    We select the right platform based on your business needs, product count, and budget:

    • WooCommerce (WordPress) - The most popular eCommerce platform in the world. Great for small to medium catalogs with flexible customization.
    • Joomla eCommerce - VirtueMart and other Joomla-based solutions for businesses already on the Joomla platform.
    • Custom Solutions - For unique requirements that off-the-shelf platforms can't handle.

    What Makes a Successful Online Store

    A successful eCommerce website isn't just a product catalog with a buy button. It's a complete sales experience:

    • Fast page loads - Every second of delay costs you sales. We optimize images, caching, and server performance.
    • Mobile-first design - Most online shopping happens on phones. Your store needs to look and work great on every screen size.
    • Trust signals - SSL certificates, secure payment badges, clear return policies, and real customer reviews build the confidence buyers need to complete a purchase.
    • Search engine visibility - Product pages optimized for the keywords your customers actually search for.
    • Simple management - A backend you can actually use to add products, update prices, and process orders without calling your developer.

    Security for Your Online Store

    Handling customer payment information comes with serious responsibility. All eCommerce clients are enrolled in our Website Security Monitoring Program, which includes:

    • SSL certificate management
    • Real-time security scanning
    • Software update monitoring
    • PCI compliance guidance
    • Immediate response to security threats
