Missoula, MT Web Design Services

Our Missoula Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Missoula company 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 template for us to 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 template website design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Missoula website design service from scratch.

By utilizing this approach, our team can produce customized mockups that align with your brand guidelines. This will give you a glimpse into your website's look and feel prior to the start of web development 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. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better page speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Missoula small business.

The starting price for a custom web design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web 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 view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Missoula company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Missoula website maintenance firms, including:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Missoula site's navigation menu.

Picking a Platform for Your Missoula, MT Website

Your Missoula website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. While our top web designers and ecommerce developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web design services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

Our web development agency chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Missoula, 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.
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional web development agencies and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Missoula website developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Missoula website design projects that need a custom theme with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Missoula 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 Missoula small businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use 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 web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Missoula, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

Our ecommerce website developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• Missoula merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Missoula without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Missoula web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Missoula 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 Missoula, MT Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Missoula website design or ecommerce web design agency before starting a project. 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 work? 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 Missoula SEO.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We always start with a design mockup for Missoula custom web development projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a theme-based website development service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Missoula web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Missoula web development team turn things around? We typically complete custom website 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 development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
