Boulder Web Design Services

Our Boulder Web Services

We are a comprehensive web development agency with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Boulder small business 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.

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

2.) Custom Web Developments

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

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better website speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Boulder organization.

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 website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

3.) Website Maintenance

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

We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Boulder business access to a website developer or ecommerce web designer who can fix just about any problem.

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

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Boulder website.
• Improving site performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Fixing Google Search Console coverage problems.

Picking a Platform for Your Boulder, CO Website

The foundation of your Boulder website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web developers and ecommerce web designers 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 website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Boulder and the greater Colorado area.

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Boulder, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
• WordPress is popular among professional web development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Boulder web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Boulder build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Boulder 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.
• If your Boulder small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• Most small businesses in Boulder who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
• 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. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Boulder.

Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for online stores around Colorado within the Shopify platform.

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Boulder merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Boulder without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• When Boulder web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• Shopify is a great option for Boulder 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 Boulder, CO Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Boulder website development or ecommerce web development company before proceeding with your 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 project? We do not outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects for Boulder small businesses. We have our own internal team of USA website developers.
• Will the web designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Boulder website makeover project.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Boulder website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Boulder web designer plan to use on your website project? Because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Boulder web development service? We typically complete 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 website development agency have experience with innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
