London, ON Web Design Services

Our London Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for a low-cost site? Your London 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 templated web development 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 Developments

As a custom web design company, we prefer to start every London web development 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 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.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website performance and usability, since it was created exclusively for your London company.

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

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

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

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Installing app, theme or plugin updates.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging your London site's navigation menu.
• Improve your page speed to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage concerns.
• 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 London, ON Website

To choose the best template or custom web design company for your London business, you need to know what your goals are. The most common goals we've seen for London web development and ecommerce web design projects include:

2. To redesign an existing website or storefront into a modern web design to give a better first impression to visitors.

Picking a Platform for Your London, ON Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your London website. 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.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in London, but also because it is simply the best overall. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• You can add new 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.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local London web designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce web developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for London 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.
• If your London small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money remaking your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for London organizations. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

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

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:

• For London 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.
• We often recommend Shopify for London web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• The best ecommerce platform for London 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 London, ON Web Designer

You should ask your prospective London website design or ecommerce web design agency several questions before you get started. 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 website project? Because we have our own internal team of proficient web designers, we don't outsource custom website design or ecommerce web design projects to other companies.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any London website redesign project.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for London website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What CMS platforms is your London web designer experienced in? We prefer WordPress because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your London website design service? We typically complete custom web 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 design firm provide creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
