Bloomington, IN Web Design Services

Our Bloomington 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 separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

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

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom theme for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme for us to install on your development site.

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

The starting price for a template web design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template 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 Bloomington web 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 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 Bloomington small business.

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

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

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

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Bloomington website support firms, including:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.

Picking a Platform for Your Bloomington, IN Website

The foundation of your Bloomington website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web developers and ecommerce 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

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source site platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Bloomington and the greater Indiana area.

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Bloomington, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform 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 huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional website development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Bloomington web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

We help Bloomington 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 Bloomington web 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Bloomington companies with an existing WordPress website. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into rebuilding that website just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Bloomington businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use 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. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website developer in Bloomington.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:

• For Bloomington 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.
• We often recommend Shopify for Bloomington web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• We often recommend Shopify for Bloomington ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Bloomington, IN Web Designer

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

• Does the website designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce development projects for Bloomington businesses. We have our own internal team of USA website designers.
• Will the web developers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Bloomington SEO.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Bloomington custom web design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a template-based web design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Bloomington website designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Bloomington 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 website 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!
