Fort Wayne, IN Web Design Services

Our Fort Wayne 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

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Fort Wayne 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.

We will then tailor the template to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.

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 Fort Wayne 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. In addition, these mockups can undergo updates until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better site speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Fort Wayne business.

The starting cost for a custom web development is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

Let's figure out what you want from your Fort Wayne web design project!

In addition to designing Fort Wayne-area websites, our company also provides web development services to those in Bloomington, Evansville, Indianapolis, Lafayette, and South Bend.

Picking a Platform for Your Fort Wayne, IN Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Fort Wayne 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

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Fort Wayne, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website development. 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 functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional website design firms and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Fort Wayne website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Fort Wayne website development projects that need a custom theme with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Fort Wayne small 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 organizations in Fort Wayne who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce 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. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Fort Wayne, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

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

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• We often recommend Shopify for Fort Wayne merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Fort Wayne web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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 Fort Wayne 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 Fort Wayne, IN Web Designer

You should ask your prospective Fort Wayne website design or ecommerce website 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 development project:

• Does the web designer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce web designers, we don't outsource.
• Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Fort Wayne SEO.
• Will the website designer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We always start with a design mockup for Fort Wayne custom website development projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a template-based web development service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Fort Wayne web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Fort Wayne website development team turn things around? Most of our custom web design 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 website design firm have examples of creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
