Reading, PA Web Design Services

Our Reading Web Services

We are a complete website development agency with a large staff of internal website designers and ecommerce web designers. Our web design company is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Reading 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.

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

We will then tailor the theme to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.

The starting cost for a templated website design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Reading 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. 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 website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved page speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Reading small business.

The starting price for a custom web design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

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 Reading company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

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

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.

Picking a Platform for Your Reading, PA Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Reading site. Our website designers and ecommerce website designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best website development services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

With more than 40% market share in Pennsylvania 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 Reading, but also because it is simply the best overall. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• You can add 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 website design firms and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Reading web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce website developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Reading web development projects that need a custom theme with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Reading small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. 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 Reading who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website designer in Reading.

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

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

• For Reading 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.
• When Reading 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, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for Reading 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 Reading, PA Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Reading web development or ecommerce web design company several questions before you get started. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom website development or ecommerce web development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the work? Because we have our own internal team of USA web developers, we don't outsource custom web design or ecommerce web development projects to other companies.
• Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Reading website refresh project.
• Will the web designer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Reading website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only feasible 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 Reading web developer plan to use on your website project? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Reading website design team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom web design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
