Kingston, ON Web Design Services

Our Kingston Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Kingston company might be interested in a template website!

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom template for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.

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

From there, we'll customize the template to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.

The starting price for a templated web design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce website designs, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Kingston 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 website 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.

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better site performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Kingston 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 developments, 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.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Kingston website support firms might help with:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.

Set Goals for Your Kingston, ON Website

Before proceeding with the selection of a template or custom web development agency for your Kingston business, it is important to understand what the goals are for your website project. The most common goals we've seen for Kingston web development and ecommerce web design projects include:

1. To create a website or online store for a new Kingston company.
2. To redesign an existing website or storefront into a modern web design to give a better first impression to visitors.
3. To improve UX, bounce rates, and/or conversion metrics.
4. To improve the website's speed and responsiveness.
5. To fix website accessibility concerns, or perhaps receive a web accessibility certificate.
6. To improve lead generation through design improvements.
7. To improve online orders from their ecommerce storefront.

Let's figure out what you want from your Kingston web design project!

In addition to designing Kingston-area websites, our company also provides website development services to those in Toronto, Gatineau, Hamilton, Kitchener, London, Oshawa, Windsor, St. Catharines, Barrie, Guelph, Milton, Brantford, Thunder Bay, and Ottawa.

Picking a Platform for Your Kingston, ON Website

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

1.) WordPress

With more than 40% market share in Ontario and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source site platform.

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Kingston, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
• WordPress is popular among professional website development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Kingston web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce website development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Kingston build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template 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 Kingston business website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Kingston small businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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. To run an ecommerce site using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Kingston.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• Kingston merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• When Kingston web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for Kingston organizations 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 Kingston, ON Website Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Kingston 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 website project? Because we have our own internal team of expert website designers, we don't outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects to other companies.
• Will the web designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Kingston web redesign project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Kingston website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom web development 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 Kingston web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Kingston web design service? We typically complete custom web development projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the web design company have experience with original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
