Kirkland Web Design Services

Our Kirkland Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Kirkland business might be interested in a template website!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom theme, 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 most liked 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 web design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template 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 Kirkland web design service from scratch.

This approach allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements. You'll appreciate seeing the look and feel of your future website before our website developers start building the site. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better website speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Kirkland organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce 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.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Kirkland website maintenance services:

• Updating your website platform.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.

Set Goals for Your Kirkland, WA Website

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

1. To create a website or online store for a new business in Kirkland.
2. To give an old website or storefront a fresh look and feel to improve branding and functionality.
3. To improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and/or improve conversion rates.

Let's figure out what you want from your Kirkland website design project!

In addition to designing Kirkland-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Auburn, Bellingham, Everett, Kennewick, Kent, Redmond, Renton, Seattle, Spokane, Spokane Valley, Tacoma, and Vancouver.

Picking a Platform for Your Kirkland, WA Website

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

1.) WordPress

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

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Kirkland, 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 site 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.
• WordPress is popular among professional web design companies and freelance website developers, making it possible to find a local Kirkland web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Kirkland web development projects that require a custom designed template 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 Kirkland small businesses with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• Most small businesses in Kirkland who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website designer in Kirkland.

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers often recommend Shopify:

• For Kirkland merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Kirkland without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• For Kirkland web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Kirkland small businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Kirkland, WA Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Kirkland website design or ecommerce web design agency before proceeding with your project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce website development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Kirkland website design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Kirkland custom website design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the site. However, if you choose a template-based website design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Kirkland website 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 quick is the delivery time for your Kirkland web development service? Most of our custom web 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 website design firm have experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
