Peoria Web Design Services

Our Peoria Web Services

We are a one-stop website design firm with a large group of onsite web designers and ecommerce web developers. Our web development agency is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Peoria small business might be interested in a template website!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom template, we can hand-pick several site 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 preferred 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 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 like to start every Peoria 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 website development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

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 Peoria organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. 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 Peoria 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 Peoria web maintenance firms might help with:

• 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 the navigation menu of your Peoria website.
• Improving website speed to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Making your website look and feel better.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Enhancing technical search engine optimization with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing a solution to any other site problem.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Peoria, IL Website

Your Peoria website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. 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

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Peoria and the greater Illinois area.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Peoria, 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 new 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.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Peoria website designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Peoria web development projects that require a custom designed theme with complex functionality, but are working on a limited budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Peoria small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• WooCommerce is a great open-source option for Peoria companies. 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. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Peoria.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• For Peoria 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.
• For Peoria web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• We often recommend Shopify for Peoria ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround 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 Peoria, IL Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Peoria website design or ecommerce development agency before starting a project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Peoria businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Do the website developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Peoria web design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• 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 Peoria website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What CMS platforms is your Peoria website developer experienced in? Because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Peoria web design team turn things around? 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 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!
