Anchorage Web Design Services

Our Anchorage Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Anchorage small business might be interested in a template website!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom template, we can hand-pick several site templates to share with you that closely match your desired look and feel.

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired template for us to install on your development site.

We will then tailor the theme to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.

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

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Anchorage web 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 edits until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Anchorage small business.

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

3.) Website Maintenance

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

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

Here are a few examples of site requests that might require service from Anchorage website support companies, including:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Anchorage site's navigation menu.

Set Goals for Your Anchorage, AK Website

It's important to understand what your goals are before picking a template or custom website design firm for your Anchorage business. Here are some of the most common website design and ecommerce web design goals we've seen for Anchorage websites:

1. To create a website or online store for a new business in Anchorage.
2. To give an old website or storefront a fresh look and feel to improve branding and functionality.
3. To improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and/or improve conversion rates.

7. To improve online orders from their ecommerce storefront.

Let's figure out what you want from your Anchorage website design project!

Picking a Platform for Your Anchorage, AK Website

Your Anchorage website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our website designers and ecommerce website 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

More than 40% of websites in Alaska and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Anchorage, but also because it is simply the best overall. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform for designing websites.

• You can add functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional website design firms and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Anchorage website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers like 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 Anchorage 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?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Anchorage small businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce site in Anchorage, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for online stores around Alaska within the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• For Anchorage merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Anchorage without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• When Anchorage web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• Shopify is a great option for Anchorage ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Anchorage, AK Web Developer

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

• Does the website developer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Anchorage SEO.
• Will the website designer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We always start with a design mockup for Anchorage custom web design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a template-based web design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Anchorage website designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Anchorage web design team turn things around? Most of our custom website 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 development agency have experience with innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
