Kelowna, BC Web Design Services

Our Kelowna Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

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

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template for your website, we can search for a few site templates that match the look and feel you want in your next website or online store.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 templated website design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated 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 Kelowna 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 website developers 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 web development team will integrate it into a custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better page speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Kelowna small business.

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

3.) Website Maintenance

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

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

Here are a few examples of site requests that might need Kelowna website support services:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Kelowna website.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage problems.
• Enhancing technical search engine optimization with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing a solution to any other website problem.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Set Goals for Your Kelowna, BC Website

Before proceeding with the selection of a template or custom website design firm for your Kelowna business, it is important to understand what the goals are for your website project. Here are some of the most common website design and ecommerce web design goals we've seen for Kelowna websites:

1. To create a website or online store for a new business in Kelowna.
2. To remake an existing site or storefront with a cutting edge, professional look and feel.
3. To improve user experience (UX), reduce bounces, increase time on site, and/or improve conversions.
4. To improve the website's speed and responsiveness.
5. To improve website accessibility for the general public looking at the website.
6. To improve lead generation through design improvements.
7. To improve online orders from their ecommerce storefront.

Let us help you figure out the goals of your Kelowna web design project to ensure everyone is happy with the finished website!

In addition to designing Kelowna-area websites, our company also provides web development services to those in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Nanaimo, Victoria, and Chilliwack.

Picking a Platform for Your Kelowna, BC Website

The foundation of your Kelowna website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Our web developers and ecommerce web designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best website design services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Kelowna, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. 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!
• There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
• WordPress is popular among professional web development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Kelowna web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Kelowna 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.
• If your Kelowna 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?
• Most organizations in Kelowna who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web developer in Kelowna.

Our Shopify website development team has experience designing websites for online stores around British Columbia within the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:

• For Kelowna 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.
• When Kelowna web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• Shopify is a great option for Kelowna ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Kelowna, BC Web Developer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Kelowna web design or ecommerce website design firm before proceeding with your project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom web design or ecommerce web development projects for Kelowna organizations. We have our own internal team of experienced web designers.
• Will the website developers 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 Kelowna website makeover project.
• Will the web developer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Kelowna website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Kelowna web designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Kelowna web development service? We typically complete custom website 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 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!
