Baton Rouge, LA Web Design Services

Our Baton Rouge Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

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

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom theme 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the template you prefer, which we will then 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 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 Baton Rouge 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.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a 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 Baton Rouge 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.

Picking a Platform for Your Baton Rouge, LA Website

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

1.) WordPress

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Baton Rouge, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website design. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• You can add 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 has a large following among expert web design companies and freelance web developers, helping ensure you can find a local Baton Rouge web designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

We help Baton Rouge startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome 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 Baton Rouge company website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money rebuilding your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Baton Rouge businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• WooCommerce is good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce site using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website developer in Baton Rouge.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:

• For Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge companies 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 Baton Rouge, LA Website Designer

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

• Does the web designer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom web design or ecommerce website development projects for Baton Rouge organizations. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Baton Rouge website refresh project.
• Will the web designer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We create design mockups for Baton Rouge businesses that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for clients that choose a theme-based website design service.
• What platform does your Baton Rouge web developer use? Because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Baton Rouge 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 web development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
