Dayton, OH Web Design Services

Our Dayton Website Services

We are a one-stop website design firm with a large group of onsite web designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web development team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Searching for an affordable site option? Your Dayton business 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Developments

As a custom web design company, we prefer to start every Dayton 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 web development work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Dayton company.

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 web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

3.) Website Maintenance

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

We think of web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Dayton business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Dayton website support firms might help with:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Installing app, theme or plugin updates.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging your Dayton website's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.

Picking a Platform for Your Dayton, OH Website

Your Dayton website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based website projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Dayton, but also because it is simply the best overall. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• 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.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Dayton website designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers like WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Dayton 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 Dayton small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for Dayton organizations. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• WooCommerce is good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

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 Dayton.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Ohio.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• For Dayton 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 Dayton web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• Shopify is a great option for Dayton 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 Dayton, OH Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Dayton web development or ecommerce web design company before starting a project. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website development or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the website designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Dayton website makeover project.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Dayton website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom web development service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What CMS platforms is your Dayton website designer experienced in? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Dayton website development team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web design company have examples of original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
