Chattanooga, TN Web Design Services

Our Chattanooga Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Chattanooga organization might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template for your website, we can search for a few site templates that match the look and feel you want in your next website or online store.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your favorite 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 template-based web development is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Chattanooga website development service from scratch.

Our team can create tailor-made mockups that adhere to your brand's unique specifications, providing a preview of your website's aesthetics before our web designers begin their work. In addition, these mockups can undergo tweaks until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better site speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga, TN Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Chattanooga 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

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Chattanooga, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website development. 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!
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress has a large following among expert website design firms and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Chattanooga website designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Chattanooga website development 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 Chattanooga small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• Most businesses in Chattanooga who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

3.) Shopify

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

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:

• For Chattanooga merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Chattanooga without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Chattanooga web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• Shopify is a good option for Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga, TN Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Chattanooga 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? Because we've got our own team of USA website developers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Chattanooga web design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We create design mockups for Chattanooga companies that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for customers that choose a theme-based website design service.
• What platform does your Chattanooga web developer use? Because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Chattanooga web design service? Most of our custom website 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 development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
