Metairie, LA Web Design Services

Our Metairie Website Services

We are a one-stop web design company with a large group of onsite web developers and ecommerce developers. Our website design firm is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Metairie 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.

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme for us to install on your development site.

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

The starting price for a templated website development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Metairie 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 website designers begin their work. In addition, these mockups can undergo updates until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced site speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Metairie 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 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.

We view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Metairie small business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

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

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.

• Adding new web pages as you release new information.

Set Goals for Your Metairie, LA Website

It's important to understand what your goals are before picking a template or custom website design firm for your Metairie business. Here are some of the most common website design and ecommerce web design goals we've seen for Metairie websites:

2. To redo an existing website or storefront into a modern website development to give a better first impression to visitors.
3. To improve UX, reduce bounce rates, and/or improve conversion rates.

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

In addition to designing Metairie-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, New Orleans, and Shreveport.

Picking a Platform for Your Metairie, LA Website

Your Metairie website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web development services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Metairie, but also because it is simply the best overall. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform for designing websites.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• 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 Metairie website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Metairie businesses with an existing WordPress website. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into remaking that website just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Metairie small businesses 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 in Metairie, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• Metairie merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Metairie without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Metairie 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 Metairie 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 Metairie, LA Website Developer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Metairie web design or ecommerce website development firm before starting a project. Here are some 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.
• Do the website designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Metairie SEO.
• 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 Metairie 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 Metairie 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 Metairie web design service? Most of our custom website 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 development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
