Birmingham Web Design Services

Our Birmingham Website Services

We are a complete web design company with a large team of in-house 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 a low-cost website? Your Birmingham organization 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.

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

The starting price for a templated website design 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 Designs

As a custom web development agency, we like to start every Birmingham 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 website 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 theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Birmingham organization.

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

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

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

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Birmingham website maintenance services:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.

Picking a Platform for Your Birmingham, AL Website

The foundation of your Birmingham website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web development services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

With more than 40% market share in Alabama and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Birmingham, 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 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.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Birmingham web designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce website developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Birmingham 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 Birmingham small businesses with an existing WordPress site. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redoing it just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Birmingham small businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Birmingham, you'll probably need a Shopify web developer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• Birmingham merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Birmingham without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Birmingham web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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.
• We often recommend Shopify for Birmingham ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Birmingham, AL Website Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Birmingham web development or ecommerce web design company before proceeding with your project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website development or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA web developers, we don't outsource custom web design or ecommerce web development projects to other companies.
• Do the web developers 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 Birmingham website refresh project.
• Will the web designer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Birmingham website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only feasible if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What CMS platforms is your Birmingham web developer experienced in? Because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Birmingham 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!
