Bakersfield Web Design Services

Our Bakersfield Web Services

We are a full-service website design firm with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce website designers. Our website development team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

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

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

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

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

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

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom website design firm, we prefer to start every Bakersfield web design service from scratch.

Our team can create tailor-made mockups that adhere to your brand's unique specifications, providing a preview of your website's aesthetics before our website designers begin their work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes 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 template. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved page performance and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Bakersfield small business.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Bakersfield website maintenance agencies might help with:

• Updating your website platform.

Picking a Platform for Your Bakersfield, CA Website

The foundation of your Bakersfield website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based website projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Bakersfield, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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 site.
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress is popular among professional web design companies and freelance website developers, making it possible to find a local Bakersfield web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce developers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template 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 Bakersfield organization website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most businesses in Bakersfield who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees 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.
• 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 Bakersfield.

We can design a website for your online business in or around California that runs on the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• For Bakersfield merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• When Bakersfield 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, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Bakersfield 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 Bakersfield, CA Website Developer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Bakersfield web design or ecommerce website development firm before proceeding with your project. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the website project? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Bakersfield 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 starting the website? We create design mockups for Bakersfield 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 Bakersfield web designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Bakersfield web development service? 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 like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
