Clifton Web Design Services

Our Clifton Web Services

We are a complete website design firm with a large staff of internal 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

Looking for an affordable website? Your Clifton 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.

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

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

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we prefer to start every Clifton 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 Clifton 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.

3.) Website Maintenance

After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in web maintenance services.

We view website maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Clifton business access to a website developer or ecommerce web designer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are some examples of website requests that Clifton web support agencies might help with:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Clifton website's navigation menu.
• Improving site performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage problems.

Picking a Platform for Your Clifton, NJ Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Clifton website. 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

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Clifton, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. 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 development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Clifton web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Clifton 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Clifton businesses with an existing WordPress website. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most small businesses in Clifton who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use 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. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website developer in Clifton.

Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for online stores around New Jersey within the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Clifton merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Clifton without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Clifton 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.
• The best ecommerce platform for Clifton small businesses 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 Clifton, NJ Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Clifton website design or ecommerce development agency several questions before you get started. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Clifton businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Will the website developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Clifton search engine optimization.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Clifton website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website 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 Clifton web designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Clifton web development team turn things around? 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 have experience with original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
