Cary, NC Web Design Services

Our Cary Web Services

We are a complete website design firm with a large staff of internal website designers and ecommerce website designers. Our website development team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Cary 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the template you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

From there, we'll customize the theme to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.

The starting cost for a template web development is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Cary website development 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 website designers start building the site. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced site speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Cary business.

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

Picking a Platform for Your Cary, NC Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Cary website. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce web developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based site projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Cary, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website design. 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.
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Cary web designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers like WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Cary website 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 Cary business website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money remaking it just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Cary businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress 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 using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web designer in Cary.

We can design a website for your online business in or around North Carolina that runs on the Shopify platform.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers often recommend Shopify:

• Cary merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Cary without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Cary web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. 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.
• Shopify is a good option for Cary ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Cary, NC Website Developer

You should ask your prospective Cary web design or ecommerce website development firm several questions before you get started. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA website designers, we don't outsource custom website design or ecommerce development projects to other companies.
• Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Cary website refresh project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We always start with a design mockup for Cary custom web development projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a theme-based website development service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• What CMS platforms is your Cary web designer experienced in? Because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How quick is the delivery time for your Cary web development service? It takes us about 2-3 months to complete custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web design company provide original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
