Gatineau, ON Web Design Services

Our Gatineau 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

Looking for an affordable website? Your Gatineau 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the template you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

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

The starting cost for a template-based web design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce website developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Gatineau web 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 web designers begin their work. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved site speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Gatineau business.

The starting cost for a custom web development is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. 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 Gatineau small business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Gatineau web support agencies 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.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Gatineau website's navigation menu.
• Improving website performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Making your website look and feel better.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage problems.
• Improving technical search engine optimization by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website issues.

It's important to understand what your goals are before picking a template or custom website development agency for your Gatineau small business. The following are the most common goals we see for Gatineau web development and ecommerce development projects:

Picking a Platform for Your Gatineau, ON Website

Your Gatineau 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

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Gatineau, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web development. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• 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 is popular among professional website design firms and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Gatineau web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce web designers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom theme with complex functionality, but have a limited budget, we often recommend WooCommerce. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Gatineau 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 great open-source option for Gatineau companies. 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.
• 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. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Gatineau, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Gatineau merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Gatineau without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Gatineau web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• The best ecommerce platform for Gatineau 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 Gatineau, ON Website Designer

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

• Does the web designer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects for Gatineau small businesses. We have our own internal team of proficient web designers.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Gatineau web redesign project.
• Will the website designer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We create design mockups for Gatineau companies that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for customers that choose a theme-based website design service.
• Which CMS platform does your Gatineau web 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 Gatineau website design service? We typically complete custom web design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the website design firm provide creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
