Providence, RI Web Design Services

Our Providence Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Developments

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Providence 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 love to begin every Providence 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.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge 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 Providence 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 view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Providence business access to a website developer or ecommerce website developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Providence website maintenance services:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• 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 Providence website.

Picking a Platform for Your Providence, RI Website

Your Providence website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. While our top web designers and ecommerce website 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

With more than 40% market share in Rhode Island and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Providence, 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!
• There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
• WordPress has a large following among expert website design firms and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Providence website designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Providence or other parts of United States.

Here's why our ecommerce web developers love 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 Providence businesses with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money remaking it just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Providence businesses who prefer open-source software. 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Providence, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

Our ecommerce developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• Providence merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Providence without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Providence web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• We often recommend Shopify for Providence 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 Providence, RI Website Designer

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

• Does the web designer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA website designers, we don't outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects to other companies.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Providence website development project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Providence 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 development service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What platform does your Providence web designer use? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Providence web development team turn things around? Most of our custom web 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 design firm have examples of creative solutions? As a comprehensive website development agency, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
