Detroit, MI Web Design Services

Our Detroit Website Services

We are a one-stop web development agency with a large group of onsite 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

Looking for an affordable website? Your Detroit organization 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 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 design 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 Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Detroit website design 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 developers begin their work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes 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 theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Detroit organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce developments, 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 support services.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Detroit website maintenance agencies might help with:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging your Detroit site's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Fixing website scan problems or Google Search Console coverage concerns.
• Improving technical search engine optimization by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website issues.

Picking a Platform for Your Detroit, MI Website

Your Detroit website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our website designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web 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 Detroit and the greater Michigan area.

Our website development agency chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Detroit, 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 development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Detroit web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers like WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Detroit web design projects that require a custom designed template 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 Detroit organizations with an existing WordPress website. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money rebuilding your content-based site just to add ecommerce.
• Most businesses in Detroit who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

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

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

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

• We often recommend Shopify for Detroit merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Detroit without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Detroit 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.
• Shopify is a great option for Detroit ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Detroit, MI Web Developer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Detroit web design or ecommerce website design firm before starting a project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Detroit businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Do the website developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Detroit SEO.
• 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 Detroit website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Detroit website 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 fast is your Detroit website design service? Most of our custom web development 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 web design company provide 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!
