Edmonton, AB Web Design Services

Our Edmonton Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Edmonton 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.

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 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 Edmonton website design 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. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved page speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Edmonton small business.

The starting price for a custom web design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website designs, 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 support services.

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

Here are some examples of site requests that Edmonton website support companies might help with:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Edmonton site's navigation menu.
• Improving page speed to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Making your website look and feel better.
• Fixing Google Search Console coverage glitches.
• Improving technical SEO by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website concerns.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Edmonton, AB Website

The foundation of your Edmonton website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Even though our top website developers and ecommerce web 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

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

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

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce web developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Edmonton web development projects that need a custom template with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Edmonton small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money remaking your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Edmonton small businesses who prefer open-source software. 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.
• 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 designer in Edmonton.

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

Our ecommerce web designers love Shopify for these reasons:

• We often recommend Shopify for Edmonton merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Edmonton without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Edmonton 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, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for Edmonton small businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Edmonton, AB Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Edmonton website design or ecommerce web design agency before proceeding with your project. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce website development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the work? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce development projects for Edmonton businesses. We have our own internal team of professional web developers.
• Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Edmonton website makeover project.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Edmonton 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.
• Which CMS platform does your Edmonton website designer plan to use on your site project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Edmonton web design team turn things around? 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 experience with original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
