Ecommerce That Fits Your Business
We design and build online stores using Shopify, WooCommerce, Squarespace Commerce, Wix, and other ecommerce platforms, or create a custom solution when the project requires it.
Shopify
Managed, scalable, and easy to operate. Custom design and theme work, product and collection setup, mobile optimization, essential app integration, and a checkout built to convert.
WooCommerce
Flexible WordPress-based commerce. Full control over the storefront, plugins and payment options, for a business that wants its shop and its site in one place.
Other and Custom Platforms
Squarespace Commerce, Wix, improvements to a store you already have, migrations between platforms, integrations, and specialized builds when a project needs one.
Ecommerce projects are individually scoped based on the number of products, the platform, required integrations, and functionality.
Simple, Friendly, No Pressure
Tell Us About Your Business
Fill out a short form — your business name, what you do, and a few sites you like the look of. That's all we need to get started.
We Build Your Demo
We create a polished custom homepage using your business information and style preferences, giving you a real preview of your website's design, messaging, and overall direction.
Take a Look, No Pressure
Love the direction? Pay the build fee, from $600 for a standard business site, and we'll complete the remaining pages and functionality. One round of minor homepage revisions is included before you decide.
We Handle Everything
Once you're on a plan, hosting, updates, and basic SEO are all taken care of. You run your business — we keep your site sharp.
We Take Care of Your Website So You Don't Have To
LocalForge is a small web-design studio for local businesses: trades, healthcare practices, professional services, and specialty shops. We design custom sites that are built to bring in work, and we look after them once they're live.
We're not a big agency, and that's the point. You deal directly with the people designing your site, you get an answer the same day, and you pay a fraction of agency rates. What we bring to it is years of design, digital product, and conversion work: not just a site that looks right, but one built to turn visitors into phone calls.
