Columbus, OH Web Design Services

Our Columbus Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

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

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom theme for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.

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

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

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

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Columbus web 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 website designers begin their 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 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 Columbus 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.

Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with a website developer or ecommerce web developer on our team who can fix nearly any website issue.

Here are some examples of website requests that Columbus web maintenance companies might help with:

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

Picking a Platform for Your Columbus, OH Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Columbus site. While our top website designers and ecommerce website designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide website development 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 Columbus and the greater Ohio area.

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Columbus, but just because it's the best for a customized website design service. 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.
• WordPress is popular among professional web design companies and freelance web developers, making it possible to find a local Columbus website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Columbus web 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 Columbus small business site runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Columbus companies 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 web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website developer in Columbus.

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

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

• We often recommend Shopify for Columbus merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• When Columbus 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.
• The best ecommerce platform for Columbus 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 Columbus, OH Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Columbus 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 Columbus businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Will the website developers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Columbus website redesign project.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We always start with a design mockup for Columbus custom web design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a theme-based web design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Columbus web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Columbus web design service? We typically complete custom web development projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the web design company have examples of 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!
