New Haven Web Design Services

Our New Haven Web Services

We are a comprehensive web development agency with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web design company is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom website development services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your New Haven organization 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.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your favorite template for us to install on your development site.

We will then tailor the theme to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.

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 developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every New Haven website development 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. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better website speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your New Haven organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce 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 New Haven business access to a website 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 New Haven web maintenance firms, including:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your New Haven site's navigation menu.

Picking a Platform for Your New Haven, CT Website

The foundation of your New Haven website is the content management system you choose for the design project. 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

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

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in New Haven, but also because it is simply the best overall. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.

• You can add 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 New Haven web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend 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 New Haven 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 redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• WooCommerce is a great open-source option for New Haven small businesses. 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 using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web designer in New Haven.

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers often recommend Shopify:

• For New Haven merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in New Haven without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When New Haven web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. 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.
• Shopify is a good option for New Haven ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a New Haven, CT Website Developer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective New Haven web design or ecommerce website development firm before proceeding with your 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've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any New Haven website design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Will the web developer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for New Haven website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website 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 New Haven 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 New Haven web development team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to complete custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web design company have experience with original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
