Abbotsford, BC Web Design Services

Our Abbotsford Web Services

We are a one-stop website design firm with a large group of onsite website designers and ecommerce website designers. Our website development agency is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Abbotsford small business might be interested in a template site!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template for your website, we can search for a few website templates that match the look and feel you want in your next website or online store.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your preferred template for us to install on your development site.

From there, we'll customize the theme to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.

The starting price for a template-based website design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website development agency, we like to start every Abbotsford website design service from scratch.

By utilizing this approach, our team can produce customized mockups that align with your brand guidelines. This will give you a glimpse into your website's look and feel prior to the start of web development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website performance and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Abbotsford company.

The starting price for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in website maintenance services.

We think of web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Abbotsford business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Abbotsford website support firms, including:

• Updating your website platform.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.

Picking a Platform for Your Abbotsford, BC Website

Your Abbotsford website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our web designers and ecommerce developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web design services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Abbotsford and the greater British Columbia area.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Abbotsford, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web development. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress has a large following among expert website design firms and freelance website designers, helping ensure you can find a local Abbotsford web designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce website development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Abbotsford build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

Here's why our ecommerce web designers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom theme with complex functionality, but have a limited budget, we often recommend WooCommerce. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Abbotsford small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• Most small businesses in Abbotsford who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Abbotsford, you'll probably need a Shopify web developer.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around British Columbia.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers often recommend Shopify:

• Abbotsford merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Abbotsford without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Abbotsford web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• The best ecommerce platform for Abbotsford businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery times for development and marketing is Shopify. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Abbotsford, BC Web Developer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Abbotsford web design or ecommerce website design firm before starting a project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Abbotsford businesses. We have our own internal team of skilled website developers.
• Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? For any Abbotsford web development project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for Abbotsford businesses that choose a custom web design service, and provide template samples for clients that choose a template-based web design service.
• What platform does your Abbotsford website designer use? Because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Abbotsford web development team turn things around? Most of our custom web design projects are ready in two to three months, but template websites are closer to three to four weeks. Ecommerce projects usually require more time.
• Does the website design firm have experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
