Austin, TX Web Design Services

Our Austin Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

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

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

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 templated web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Austin web 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. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Austin company.

The starting price for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

3.) Website Maintenance

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 Austin business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Austin website support firms might help with:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging your Austin website's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage concerns.
• Enhancing technical search engine optimization with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Investigating and solving any other website issue.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Austin, TX Website

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

1.) WordPress

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

Our web development agency chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Austin, but also because it is simply the best overall. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• You can add new functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
• WordPress has a large following among expert web development agencies and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Austin website developer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Austin or other parts of United States.

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Austin website design 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.
• If your Austin business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Austin businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify web designer in Austin.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• For Austin merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Austin without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• For Austin web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, 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.
• Shopify is a great option for Austin 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 Austin, TX Web Designer

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

• Does the website designer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce web designers, we don't outsource.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Austin web redesign project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Austin website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom web development service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What platform does your Austin web 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 Austin web development team turn things around? We typically finish custom website design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the web development agency have examples of 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!
