Bozeman, MT Web Design Services

Our Bozeman Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Bozeman 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.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your most liked 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 templated web design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce website designs, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Bozeman web design service from scratch.

This approach allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements. You'll appreciate seeing the look and feel of your future website before our web developers start building the site. 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 website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Bozeman small business.

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

3.) Website Maintenance

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

Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with a web developer or ecommerce developer on our team who can fix nearly any website issue.

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

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.

Picking a Platform for Your Bozeman, MT Website

The foundation of your Bozeman 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

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

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Bozeman, but just because it's the best for a customized web development service. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.

• You can add new 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.
• WordPress is popular among professional website design firms and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Bozeman website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers like 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 Bozeman 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.
• Most businesses in Bozeman who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

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

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

Our ecommerce web designers love Shopify for these reasons:

• Bozeman merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Bozeman without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Bozeman 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, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• We often recommend Shopify for Bozeman 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 Bozeman, MT Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Bozeman 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 website project? Because we've got our own team of USA website developers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? For any Bozeman web development project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Bozeman site 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 website development service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Bozeman website designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How quick is the turnaround time for your Bozeman website design service? We typically complete custom web 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 design firm have experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
