Pittsburgh, PA Web Design Services

Our Pittsburgh 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 team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Pittsburgh 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the template you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

From there, we'll customize the theme to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.

The starting cost for a template-based website design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Pittsburgh 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 web development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo modifications until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Pittsburgh organization.

The starting price for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website 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 maintenance services.

We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Pittsburgh business access to a website developer or ecommerce web designer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Pittsburgh website maintenance firms might help with:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.

Picking a Platform for Your Pittsburgh, PA Website

Your Pittsburgh 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 Pennsylvania 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 Pittsburgh, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Pittsburgh website developer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers like 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 Pittsburgh 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 Pittsburgh companies. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Pittsburgh, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:

• For Pittsburgh merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Pittsburgh without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Pittsburgh web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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.
• Shopify is a great option for Pittsburgh ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Pittsburgh, PA Web Developer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Pittsburgh web design or ecommerce website design 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 website development project:

• Does the web developer outsource the website project? Because we've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Pittsburgh website overhaul project.
• Does the website developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for Pittsburgh companies that choose a custom web development service, and provide template samples for clients that choose a template-based web development service.
• What CMS platforms is your Pittsburgh website designer experienced in? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Pittsburgh website design team turn things around? Most of our custom web development 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 design company provide original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
