Retail web development in Ghent: FAQs

How much does a retail website cost in Ghent?+

In Ghent, a business website typically costs $5,000 – $20,000, while a custom web app runs $20,000 – $120,000. Agency day rates of a-šÂ¬500-a-šÂ¬1,300/day are the main driver, followed by integrations and how much custom functionality you need. Tecklogist quotes retail projects from from $799 at a fixed price.

How long does it take to build a retail website?+

A business website usually takes 3–6 weeks; a custom web app takes 8–20 weeks. Delays almost always come from late content, unclear scope or third-party integrations, so agree those before work starts.

Which platform is best for retail websites?+

The usual options are Shopify POS + Shopify Online, WooCommerce + Square/Lightspeed integration, BigCommerce and Headless commerce. The right one depends on how often your team edits content, which systems the site must connect to and your budget, so be wary of any Ghent agency that recommends the same platform for every client.

What should I ask a retail web developer in Ghent before hiring?+

Ask about real-time inventory sync between the website and in-store POS system, so online stock levels match the shop floor; a store locator with accurate, individually editable opening hours per location, not a single hard-coded set of hours; click-and-collect or reserve-in-store functionality if the retailer operates physical locations in {city}. Then ask for two or three live retail websites they built, who will actually work on yours, and what support looks like after launch.

Why is Tecklogist ranked first on this list?+

This list is published by Tecklogist, and we rank ourselves first because retail websites are core work for us: fixed prices, fixed timelines and code you own. The other Ghent agencies are ordered by the retail evidence in their public profiles, and none of them pay to appear.
