How much does a website cost in Kochi?
A brochure site for a small Kochi business is the lower end; a catalogue-driven ecommerce store or a site with ERP and payment integrations is considerably higher. The variables that actually move the number are how many page types you need, how much of the design is custom, whether content and photography exist, and what the site has to connect to. We quote in INR against a written scope after a discovery call rather than publishing a single figure that would be wrong for most people.
How long does it take to build a website or ecommerce store?
A standard business website usually takes 2 to 4 weeks from discovery to launch. A high-end ecommerce store or a custom web application typically takes 6 to 10 weeks, and longer where ERP, payment or courier integrations are involved. The single biggest cause of delay is content and product data arriving late, so we agree who supplies what before the build starts.
Is Globosoft a Shopify Partner?
Yes. Globosoft is listed in Shopify's official Partners Directory as a Service partner, with more than 100 Shopify ecommerce projects delivered, including work for Jawhara Jewellery, American Tourister, Samsonite and Lipault. The listing is public and can be checked before you speak to us.
Should I choose Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom ecommerce platform?
Shopify suits most retail and D2C businesses that want to launch quickly with maintenance handled for them. WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress that want no per-sale platform fee and are prepared to manage hosting and updates. A custom build is justified when workflows, integrations or data ownership genuinely cannot be handled on a standard platform. We compare all three against your catalogue, team and budget before recommending one, and plenty of our builds are not Shopify.
How much do digital marketing services cost in Kochi?
It depends on how competitive your category is and whether media spend is included. A focused local SEO programme for a single-location Kochi business sits at the lower end; a multi-channel programme with paid media across India and the Gulf sits considerably higher. We audit your current position first and quote against a written scope, because a package priced before anyone opens your analytics is a guess.
How soon will SEO show results for a business in Kochi?
Paid campaigns can produce enquiries within days of going live. For SEO, meaningful ranking movement usually appears over 3 to 6 months, with early technical and Google Business Profile wins often visible inside about 45 days. Anyone promising fast organic rankings in a competitive Kochi category is not being straight with you.
Do you work with businesses outside Kochi and Kerala?
Yes. We work with clients across India, and through our Dubai office with businesses in the UAE and wider Gulf. Kerala clients get the option of meeting the team in person at our Palarivattom office; everything else runs remotely on Indian business hours.
Can the website or store connect to Tally, Zoho or our ERP?
Yes, where the system provides a secure integration path. Connecting an online store to Tally or Zoho Books is one of the most common requests from Kerala businesses. We map orders, invoices, GST and HSN codes and stock across, defining which system owns each record before any code is written.
Will the store handle GST, UPI and Kerala delivery?
Yes. We configure GST-compliant invoicing with HSN codes, INR pricing, UPI and gateways such as Razorpay, PayU and Cashfree, cash on delivery with pin-code rules, and shipping zones built around Kerala pin codes with couriers including Delhivery, DTDC and India Post.
What makes Globosoft different from other agencies in Kochi?
Three things you can check rather than take on trust: we have been delivering from Kochi since 2010 with a 50+ person in-house team rather than subcontractors, our Shopify Partner listing and Google reviews are publicly verifiable, and strategy, build and marketing are handled by one team so nothing falls through the gap between a developer and a marketer.
