Red Deer, AB Web Design Services

Our Red Deer 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

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Red Deer company might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template for your website, we can search for a few website templates that match the look and feel you want in your next website or online store.

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

Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in 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 Red Deer 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. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Red Deer 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.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Red Deer web maintenance companies might help with:

• Updating your site platform.
• Installing app, theme or plugin updates.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your Red Deer site's navigation menu.
• Improving page performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.

In addition to designing Red Deer-area websites, our agency also provides website design services to those in Calgary, Edmonton, and Lethbridge.

Picking a Platform for Your Red Deer, AB Website

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

1.) WordPress

More than 40% of websites in Alberta and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Red Deer, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website design. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• You can add new functionality to your site through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress is popular among professional web design companies and freelance website developers, making it possible to find a local Red Deer web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Red Deer or other parts of Canada.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers like WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Red Deer web development projects that need a custom template with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Red Deer small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money remaking your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most small businesses in Red Deer who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees 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. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web designer in Red Deer.

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

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Red Deer merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Red Deer without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Red Deer 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 versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• The best ecommerce platform for Red Deer organizations that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Red Deer, AB Web Designer

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

• Does the website designer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of premium website designers and ecommerce website designers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Red Deer website makeover project.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We create design mockups for Red Deer customers that choose a custom web development service, and provide template samples for companies that choose a theme-based website development service.
• Which CMS platform does your Red Deer 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 can your Red Deer web development team turn things around? We typically complete custom website design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the website development agency have examples of innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
