Charlotte, NC Web Design Services

Our Charlotte Web Services

We are a complete website design firm with a large staff of internal website designers and ecommerce website designers. Our website development agency is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Charlotte small business might be interested in a template site!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom theme, we can hand-pick several website templates to share with you that closely match your desired look and feel.

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 templated web design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Charlotte 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. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our web development team will merge it into a custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved site speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Charlotte business.

The starting price for a custom website development is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web 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 view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Charlotte small business access to a web developer or ecommerce web designer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Charlotte web support companies, including:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.

Picking a Platform for Your Charlotte, NC Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Charlotte website. Our web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web development services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Charlotte and the greater North Carolina area.

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Charlotte, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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!
• 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 Charlotte website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Charlotte or other parts of United States.

Here's why our ecommerce website developers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Charlotte small businesses 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 redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Charlotte organizations who prefer open-source software. 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.
• 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 looking for a Shopify web developer in Charlotte.

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

Our ecommerce website designers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Charlotte 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 Charlotte 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.
• The best ecommerce platform for Charlotte companies that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing is Shopify. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Charlotte, NC Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Charlotte web development or ecommerce development company several questions before you get started. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the work? We do not outsource custom website development or ecommerce web development projects for Charlotte small businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web developers.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Charlotte search engine optimization.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Charlotte website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom website design 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 Charlotte web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Charlotte website development team turn things around? We typically finish 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 web development agency have examples of 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!
