Lawrence, KS Web Design Services

Our Lawrence Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Lawrence small business might be interested in a template website!

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

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

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

The starting cost for a templated web design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated 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 Lawrence 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.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Lawrence organization.

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

3.) Website Maintenance

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 Lawrence business access to a website developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Lawrence web maintenance 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.

In addition to designing Lawrence-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Kansas City, Olathe, Overland Park, Topeka, and Wichita.

Picking a Platform for Your Lawrence, KS Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Lawrence website. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce website developers 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 Lawrence and the greater Kansas area.

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

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Lawrence or other parts of United States.

Here's why our ecommerce developers love 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 Lawrence organization already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Lawrence companies 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website developer in Lawrence.

We can design a website for your online business in or around Kansas that runs on the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Lawrence merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Lawrence without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Lawrence 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 Lawrence small businesses 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 Lawrence, KS Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Lawrence website design or ecommerce development agency several questions before you get started. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects for Lawrence small businesses. We have our own internal team of USA website developers.
• Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Lawrence website refresh 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 Lawrence site projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only feasible if you choose a custom website development service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Lawrence website 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 quick is the turnaround time for your Lawrence website design service? Most of our custom website development 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 design company have examples of original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
