Highlands Ranch Web Design Services

Our Highlands Ranch Website Services

We are a comprehensive website development agency with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce web designers. Our web design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Highlands Ranch small business 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 preferred template 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 website design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Highlands Ranch website 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 developers begin their work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better page speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Highlands Ranch small business.

The starting price for a custom web design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

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

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

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Highlands Ranch web maintenance services:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.

In addition to designing Highlands Ranch-area websites, our agency also provides website design services to those in Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Lakewood, Longmont, Loveland, Pueblo, Thornton, and Westminster.

Picking a Platform for Your Highlands Ranch, CO Website

The foundation of your Highlands Ranch website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top website designers and ecommerce web designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web design services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Highlands Ranch, 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 huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Highlands Ranch web designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend 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 Highlands Ranch business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money rebuilding it just to add ecommerce?
• WooCommerce is a great open-source option for Highlands Ranch businesses. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use 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. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web developer in Highlands Ranch.

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

Our ecommerce website developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• Highlands Ranch merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Highlands Ranch without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• For Highlands Ranch web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• We often recommend Shopify for Highlands Ranch 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 Highlands Ranch, CO Website Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Highlands Ranch web development or ecommerce web design company before proceeding with your project. Let's go over 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 work? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the website designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Highlands Ranch web development project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Highlands Ranch 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.
• What CMS platforms is your Highlands Ranch web designer experienced in? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Highlands Ranch website design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to complete custom web design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
