Monterey Web Design Services

Our Monterey 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 separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Monterey 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.

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 template to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

The starting price for a template web design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template 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 Monterey 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. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes 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. 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 Monterey small business.

The starting price for a custom web design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just 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 think of web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Monterey company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

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

• Updating your site platform.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Monterey website's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage glitches.
• Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website problems.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Set Goals for Your Monterey, CA Website

It's important to understand what your goals are before picking a template or custom web development agency for your Monterey small business. The most common goals we've seen for Monterey website development and ecommerce web development projects include:

1. To create a website or online store for a new Monterey organization.
2. To give an old website or storefront a fresh look and feel to improve branding and functionality.
3. To improve user experience (UX), reduce bounces, increase time on site, and/or improve conversions.
4. To increase website speed for a passing score in Google Core Web Vitals.
5. To comply with ADA, WCAG, and other published guidelines that set the standards for site accessibility.
6. To make the website a lead generation machine.
7. To improve online orders from their ecommerce storefront.

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

In addition to designing Monterey-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Anaheim, Bakersfield, Chico, Fremont, Fresno, Irvine, Long Beach, Los Angeles, Modesto, Oakland, Palm Springs, Redding, Riverside, Sacramento, Salinas, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Ana, Santa Clarita, Santa Rosa, Stockton, and Visalia.

Picking a Platform for Your Monterey, CA Website

Your Monterey website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. While our top web designers and ecommerce web 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

More than 40% of websites in California and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Monterey, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. 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 website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional website development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Monterey web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website 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 Monterey small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. 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?
• Most small businesses in Monterey who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Monterey, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• For Monterey merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Monterey without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Monterey web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Monterey 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 Monterey, CA Website Developer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Monterey web design or ecommerce website development firm before starting a project. 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've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Monterey SEO.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Monterey 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 Monterey 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 is your Monterey web development service? Most of our custom web 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 design firm provide 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!
