Portland, OR Web Design Services

Our Portland Website Services

We are a one-stop web design company with a large group of onsite web developers and ecommerce developers. Our website design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Portland company 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 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 template website development is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce web developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

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

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom template. 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 Portland organization.

The starting price for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

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

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

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Portland web support services:

• Updating your website platform.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.

Picking a Platform for Your Portland, OR Website

Your Portland site is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. While our top website designers and ecommerce website designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide website development services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

More than 40% of websites in Oregon 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 Portland, 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 website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional web design companies and freelance web developers, making it possible to find a local Portland website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Portland website design 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Portland businesses with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• Most businesses in Portland who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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 hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Portland, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

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

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

• For Portland merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Portland without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• For Portland 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, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Portland organizations 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 Portland, OR Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Portland web development or ecommerce web design company before starting a project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website development or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the website designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Portland web development 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 always start with a design mockup for Portland custom website development projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a template-based web development service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Portland 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 is your Portland website development service? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web design company provide 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!
