Charlottetown, PE Web Design Services

Our Charlottetown Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Charlottetown company might be interested in a template website!

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 template for us to install on your development site.

Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

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

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Charlottetown website 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 site before our website designers start building the site. In addition, these mockups can undergo updates until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website 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 Charlottetown business.

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

Let's figure out what you want from your Charlottetown web development project!

Picking a Platform for Your Charlottetown, PE Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Charlottetown website. Our web developers and ecommerce web designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best website design 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 Charlottetown and the greater Prince Edward Island area.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Charlottetown, 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 web design companies and freelance web developers, making it possible to find a local Charlottetown website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers like 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 Charlottetown organizations with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money rebuilding it just to add ecommerce?
• Most organizations in Charlottetown who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee 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.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Charlottetown, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Prince Edward Island.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Charlottetown merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Charlottetown without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Charlottetown 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.
• The best ecommerce platform for Charlottetown businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Charlottetown, PE Web Developer

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

• Does the website developer outsource the work? We do not outsource custom web design or ecommerce website development projects for Charlottetown organizations. We have our own internal team of expert website designers.
• Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Charlottetown search engine optimization.
• 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 Charlottetown website 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 web 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 Charlottetown web developer plan to use on your website project? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How quick is the delivery time for your Charlottetown web development service? Most of our custom web design projects are ready in two to three months, but template websites are closer to three to four weeks. Ecommerce projects usually require more time.
• Does the website design firm provide creative solutions? As a comprehensive website development agency, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
