Longmont Web Design Services

Our Longmont Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Longmont small business might be interested in a template website!

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

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme 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 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 love to begin every Longmont 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. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better website performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Longmont company.

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

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

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Longmont web support companies, including:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.

Picking a Platform for Your Longmont, CO Website

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

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

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Longmont, but just because it's the best for a customized website design service. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform for designing websites.

• You can add new functionality to your site 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 design companies and freelance website developers, making it possible to find a local Longmont web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers 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 Longmont organization website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• Most businesses in Longmont who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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 hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web designer in Longmont.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• Longmont merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Longmont web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in 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 Longmont 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 Longmont, CO Website Developer

You should ask your prospective Longmont web design or ecommerce website development firm several questions before you get started. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the website project? Because we have our own internal team of USA web designers, we don't outsource custom website development or ecommerce web development projects to other companies.
• Will the website designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Longmont SEO.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Longmont 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 Longmont 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 fast is your Longmont web design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom website development projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the website design firm have examples of 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!
