Arlington Web Design Services

Our Arlington Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Arlington organization might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template for your website, we can search for a few site 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 favorite template for us to install on your development site.

Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

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

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Arlington website development 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 tweaks until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced site speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Arlington business.

The starting price for a custom website development is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce web developments, 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 maintenance services.

We view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Arlington small business access to a web developer or ecommerce web designer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are some examples of website requests that Arlington web support companies might help with:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Freshening your blog with new content.

Let's figure out what you want from your Arlington web development project!

In addition to designing Arlington-area websites, our agency also provides website design services to those in Alexandria, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Reston, Roanoke, Richmond, Virginia Beach, and Lynchburg.

Picking a Platform for Your Arlington, VA Website

Your Arlington website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. While our top web designers and ecommerce developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web design services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Arlington, 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.

• You can add new functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress is popular among professional website design firms and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Arlington web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

We help Arlington startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers like WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Arlington web development projects that require a custom designed theme with complex functionality, but are working on a limited budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Arlington small businesses with an existing WordPress site. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for Arlington businesses. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use 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 website in Arlington, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Arlington merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Arlington without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Arlington web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Arlington small businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround 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 Arlington, VA Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Arlington website design or ecommerce development agency before starting a project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Arlington businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Will the website developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Arlington website design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We create design mockups for Arlington customers that choose a custom web development service, and provide template samples for companies that choose a theme-based website development service.
• Which CMS platform does your Arlington web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Arlington 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 provide creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
