Macon Web Design Services

Our Macon Web Services

We are a one-stop website development agency with a large group of onsite website designers and ecommerce web designers. Our web design team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Macon 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 website or online store.

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 template to use your color scheme and then add in 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 Macon 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. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced site performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Macon 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.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Macon web maintenance agencies might help with:

• Updating your website platform.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging your Macon site's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your site.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage glitches.
• Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing a solution to any other website problem.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Macon, GA Website

Your Macon website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top website designers and ecommerce web designers 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 Macon and the greater Georgia area.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Macon, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web development. 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.
• WordPress is popular among professional website design firms and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Macon website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers like WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom theme 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 Macon company already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most organizations in Macon who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Macon, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• For Macon 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 Macon web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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 Macon 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 Macon, GA Website Developer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Macon web design or ecommerce website development firm before starting a project. Here are 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 project? We do not outsource custom web design or ecommerce website design projects for Macon companies. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Macon web redesign project.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Macon 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 design 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 Macon web 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 fast is your Macon 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 have experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
