Harrisburg, PA Web Design Services

Our Harrisburg Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Harrisburg organization might be interested in a template website!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom template, we can hand-pick several website templates to share with you that closely match your desired look and feel.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your favorite theme for us to install on your development site.

Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

The starting cost for a template-based web development 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 Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Harrisburg 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 web development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo tweaks until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced site performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Harrisburg business.

The starting cost for a custom web development is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in web support services.

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

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Harrisburg web maintenance companies, including:

Picking a Platform for Your Harrisburg, PA Website

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

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

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Harrisburg, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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 new 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 design companies and freelance web developers, helping ensure you can find a local Harrisburg website designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Harrisburg website design projects that require a custom designed theme 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 Harrisburg businesses with an existing WordPress website. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Harrisburg small businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

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

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• For Harrisburg merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Harrisburg without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• For Harrisburg web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• We often recommend Shopify for Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg, PA Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Harrisburg website design or ecommerce website development 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 development project:

• Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce web design projects for Harrisburg businesses. We have our own internal team of USA website designers.
• Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Harrisburg web design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We create design mockups for Harrisburg 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 Harrisburg web developer use? Because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Harrisburg 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 enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
