New: a smoker store with a 3D view

Ecommerce website design your team can actually run

An online store doesn’t end at the checkout button: orders still have to be charged, shipped, confirmed and supported. We design the catalog, the checkout and everything after the sale, on WooCommerce or custom-built depending on how you sell today.

Five stores you can visit today

A smoker store with a 3D view of every product, an artisan bakery and a wine and liquor store in Medellín, a frozen food brand in Bogotá and a handmade clothing brand. The bakery and the clothing brand carry the credit of Crece Virtual, User Media’s former name.

    Ahumadores Santo Carbón

    An online store for barrel smokers made in Colombia, in six sizes and in 430 steel or 304 stainless steel, with bundles and accessories. It ships free anywhere in Colombia and shows reference prices in US dollars for buyers abroad.

    What we did

    Design and development of the store in Spanish and English: a catalog by size and material, a size comparison, bundles and accessories, cart and secure checkout, Google reviews on every product page, and an admin panel for products, orders, coupons and content. Plus a custom 3D view of every smoker.

    Every smoker can be explored in 3D before you buy

    A view built for this store: shoppers turn the barrel, zoom in and look inside, on desktop or on their phone. Each size shows its own dimensions, and the product page still loads fast because the view only opens when someone asks for it.

    • Turn the barrel and zoom in with a mouse or your fingers.
    • Open the lid to see the hooks, the grate and the charcoal basket.
    • See the approximate height and width of each size.
    • Turn the embers and smoke on, or off for a clean look.

Is WooCommerce right for your store?

It’s what our live store runs on, but it isn’t always the best pick. Here’s what we check first.

A good fit if…

  • You sell physical products, with dozens or hundreds of SKUs and simple variations (size, flavor, color).
  • You want the store and your content on one site: blog posts, recipes, guides or brand pages next to the products.
  • You’d rather not pay the platform a cut of every sale on top of what your payment processor charges.
  • Your team wants to manage products, pricing and orders from a familiar dashboard.

Consider something else if…

  • What you sell is appointments, reservations or time slots: a booking system handles that better than a cart.
  • Your operation runs on rules no plugin handles well, like customer-specific pricing or real-time inventory sync with your ERP.
  • Nobody on your side will deal with updates or hosting: a hosted platform like Shopify takes some of that work off your plate.

WooCommerce vs. Shopify vs. a custom store

Three ways to sell online, with different costs and responsibilities.

  • What it is
    A free plugin that turns a WordPress site into a store.
    Ongoing costs
    Hosting, domain and any paid extensions; the platform takes no cut of sales.
    Payments in the US
    Stripe, PayPal and Square extensions on the WooCommerce Marketplace, among others.
    Who maintains it
    You or your vendor: WordPress, WooCommerce and plugins kept current.
    If you want to leave
    Products, orders and customers export; the site is yours.
    Best for
    Small and mid-size stores that also publish content.
  • Shopify

    What it is
    A subscription platform that hosts and runs the store for you.
    Ongoing costs
    Monthly plan, paid apps, and an extra per-sale fee if you use a payment provider other than Shopify Payments.
    Payments in the US
    Shopify Payments built in, plus third-party providers.
    Who maintains it
    Shopify handles the servers and the platform.
    If you want to leave
    Products and customers export; the design gets rebuilt on the new platform.
    Best for
    Teams that want to start selling fast without touching servers.
  • Custom

    What it is
    A store coded around your operation, for example with Next.js.
    Ongoing costs
    Hosting and code maintenance; no platform licenses or per-sale fees.
    Payments in the US
    Any processor you choose, integrated through its API.
    Who maintains it
    Your vendor: code, dependencies and hosting.
    If you want to leave
    You keep the code and data, as long as your contract says so.
    Best for
    Operations with unique rules or integrations the other two don’t handle well.

General comparison as of October 2026. Pricing and available payment options change over time and by country, so we check them against your case before recommending one.

What we design beyond the catalog

The parts of a store that get overlooked most and cost the most sales.

  • Product pages that answer questions

    Photos, variations, clear pricing, availability and the details shoppers usually ask about before buying.

  • A checkout with no surprises

    The payment methods your customers use, with shipping costs and sales tax shown before the final step.

  • Shipping rules that fit

    Rates by zone or carrier, local pickup, and return policies written in plain English.

  • Everything after payment

    Order confirmation and status emails, plus a quick channel for delivery questions.

  • Categories Google understands

    Titles, meta descriptions and product structured data on every category and product page, so you show up when people search for what you sell.

  • Purchase tracking

    Product views, add-to-cart, checkout started and purchase events, so you can see where sales slip away.

How we put an online store together

  1. 1

    How you sell today

    We review your products, pricing, inventory, fulfillment and how you take payments now: in person, by phone or on social.

  2. 2

    Platform and payments

    We choose WooCommerce, another platform or a custom build, plus the payment processor that best fits your customers and your accounting.

  3. 3

    Catalog and design

    We organize categories and variations, and design the product page and checkout for phones first.

  4. 4

    Test orders

    Before opening, we place test orders with every payment method and shipping rule, and review every email the customer receives.

  5. 5

    Launch and operations

    We show you how to add products and fulfill orders, and we keep handling updates if you sign up for support and maintenance.

    Our experience with User Media has been excellent. They've supported us in content creation projects for social media, news, web development, and process automation.

    We've worked with Crece Virtual on several web design projects for our Barranquilla operation. Their team demonstrated a solid command of both WordPress and React, adapting to the specific needs of each project based on our technical and functional requirements. What we value most is the quality of the codebase they deliver. Each project has a clean and well-organized structure, which has greatly facilitated updates and the addition of new features when needed. The technical documentation they provide is clear and useful for our internal team. Communication throughout the entire process was smooth and professional.

  • Evelintoya1011 Montoya

    December 2025

    Working with Crece Virtual transformed how we acquire clients. From the outset, they understood our business and guided us through everything: digital strategy, website architecture, and domain selection. The WordPress site, with a custom theme and widgets created in Elementor, turned out exactly as we needed: fast, clear, and designed to make requesting quotes effortless. Thanks to technical SEO, link building, and Google Ads campaigns in Medellín, our quote requests increased several times over, stabilizing at nearly 500% higher than at the beginning. The automation that sends leads from WhatsApp to Google Sheets, complete with all the data and UTM parameters, allows us to better measure sales and repeat purchases. Furthermore, their hosting, domain, and Google Workspace services have been reliable, and whenever we need support, they're always there with quick and clear answers.

    We have been working with Crece Virtual for several months now, and it has been a great experience. They built our website in Next.js, and it turned out super fast and professional. The best part is that they didn't leave us on our own after delivery: every month they make updates and improvements, and when we need something urgently, they always respond very quickly. Their support has been impeccable. In addition to the website, they manage our Google Ads campaigns and SEO. Honestly, everything has worked very well. The campaigns bring in good leads and have us well positioned on Google and Bing. They are very professional but also very approachable, always explaining everything clearly. I recommend them without hesitation.

Regarding SEO and ads, we now appear in the top Google results for the searches that matter to us. The team was incredibly professional, met every deadline, and was always available to answer questions. It's clear they know what they're doing.

Ecommerce FAQ

WooCommerce or another platform?

WooCommerce makes sense if you want your store and content on one site, no platform fee per sale and full control of your data. Shopify makes sense if you’d rather not deal with hosting and are fine with a monthly plan. A custom store, when your business rules don’t fit either one. We recommend one option after we see how you sell.

Can you set up online payments?

Yes. We connect the processor you choose as long as it integrates with the platform; Stripe, PayPal and Square all have extensions on the official WooCommerce Marketplace. If there’s no reliable plugin, we integrate through the processor’s API. In Apoleto, our own platform for restaurants, we built deposit payments with Wompi, a Colombian processor.

What do I need before I can start selling online?

Product photos and descriptions, pricing and variations, how you’ll ship (zones, rates and delivery times), a payment processor account, and your return, refund and privacy policies. Whatever is missing, we sort out with you at the start of the project.

Can I sell subscriptions or recurring orders?

Yes, with a subscriptions extension for WooCommerce or the equivalent feature on the platform we choose. We first confirm that your processor supports recurring card payments, since not all of them do.

Can you move my store from another platform?

Yes. We export products, customers and orders when the source platform allows it, and redirect product and category URLs so you don’t lose the traffic that comes from Google today.

Who runs the store once it’s live?

Your team adds products and fulfills orders from the dashboard; we show you how and stay close during the first orders. Updates, backups and technical fixes can stay with us under our support and maintenance service.

Ready to sell online?

Tell us what you sell, how you take payments and ship today, and how many products you carry. We’ll tell you which platform fits and what it would take to open the store.

It helps to know how many products and variations you have, where you ship and which payment processor you use or prefer.
