Norwalk Web Design Services

Our Norwalk Website Services

We are a comprehensive website development agency with a large team of in-house 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 Norwalk small 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.

Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

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 web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Norwalk web development service from scratch.

This approach allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements. You'll appreciate seeing the look and feel of your future website before our website designers start building the site. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better site performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Norwalk 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 developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

3.) Website Maintenance

After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in web support services.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Norwalk web maintenance companies might help with:

• Updating your site platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Norwalk website.

Picking a Platform for Your Norwalk, CT Website

The foundation of your Norwalk website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top website designers and ecommerce website 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

More than 40% of websites in Connecticut 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 Norwalk, but just because it's the best for a customized website design service. 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!
• 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 web developers, making it possible to find a local Norwalk web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Norwalk small businesses with an existing WordPress website. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most organizations in Norwalk who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for 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 web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website designer in Norwalk.

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

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

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

Questions to Ask a Norwalk, CT Web Developer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Norwalk web design or ecommerce web development firm before proceeding with your project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website design project:

• Does the website developer outsource the 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 Norwalk SEO.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Norwalk 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.
• Which CMS platform does your Norwalk web developer plan to use on your website project? Because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How quick is the delivery time for your Norwalk website development service? We typically finish 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 web development agency have experience with 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!
