New Orleans, LA Web Design Services

Our New Orleans Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your New Orleans business might be interested in a template website!

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom theme for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.

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 design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every New Orleans website 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 developers 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. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your New Orleans 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 Orleans business access to a website developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that New Orleans web maintenance firms 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.

Set Goals for Your New Orleans, LA Website

Before proceeding with the selection of a template or custom website design firm for your New Orleans business, it is important to understand what the goals are for your website project. Here are some of the most common website design and ecommerce website development goals we've seen for New Orleans websites:

1. To create a website or online store for a new New Orleans small business.

Picking a Platform for Your New Orleans, LA Website

The foundation of your New Orleans website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Our website developers and ecommerce web developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best website design services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in New Orleans, but just because it's the best for a customized web development service. 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.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local New Orleans website designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce website designers love 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 New Orleans business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money rebuilding your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most businesses in New Orleans 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 hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in New Orleans, you'll probably need a Shopify web developer.

We can design a website for your online business in or around Louisiana that runs on the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:

• For New Orleans 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.
• When New Orleans 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, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for New Orleans companies 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 New Orleans, LA Website Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective New Orleans web development or ecommerce development company before proceeding with your project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the website project? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the web developers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for New Orleans SEO.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for New Orleans 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.
• What CMS platforms is your New Orleans web developer experienced in? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your New Orleans 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 like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
