Gainesville Web Design Services

Our Gainesville 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 team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Gainesville small 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 site or online store.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your preferred 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-based website design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we prefer to start every Gainesville 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. 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. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Gainesville organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. 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.

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

Here are a few examples of site requests that might require service from Gainesville website support companies, including:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.

Picking a Platform for Your Gainesville, FL Website

Your Gainesville site is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top website designers and ecommerce website designers 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 Florida and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Gainesville, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable 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 large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress has a large following among expert web development agencies and freelance website designers, helping ensure you can find a local Gainesville web developer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Gainesville web design 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 Gainesville organization website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into rebuilding that site just to add ecommerce?
• Most businesses in Gainesville who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

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 developer in Gainesville.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:

• For Gainesville 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.
• For Gainesville web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. 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.
• We often recommend Shopify for Gainesville ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround times for development and marketing initiatives. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Gainesville, FL Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Gainesville 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 project? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Gainesville web design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Will the web designer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We create design mockups for Gainesville businesses that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for clients that choose a theme-based website design service.
• What platform does your Gainesville web developer use? We prefer WordPress because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Gainesville web design team turn things around? Most of our custom website 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 web development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
