Brantford, ON Web Design Services

Our Brantford Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Brantford business 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.

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme for us to 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 template-based website development is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce web developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Brantford web development 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. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

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 Brantford 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.

Picking a Platform for Your Brantford, ON Website

The foundation of your Brantford 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

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Brantford, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website development. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform for designing websites.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Brantford website designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Brantford 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.
• If your Brantford company already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Brantford organizations who prefer open-source software. There are no monthly fees 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.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web developer in Brantford.

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers often recommend Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Brantford merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• When Brantford 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 versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• We often recommend Shopify for Brantford 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 Brantford, ON Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Brantford 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 work? Because we've got our own team of skilled website developers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Brantford SEO.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for Brantford companies that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for customers that choose a theme-based website design service.
• What CMS platforms is your Brantford web developer experienced in? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Brantford web design team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom website development projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the website design firm have experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
