Saint John, NB Web Design Services

Our Saint John 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 broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Saint John business might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom theme 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 theme you prefer, which we will then 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-based website development is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based 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 Saint John web development 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 updates until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better site speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Saint John business.

The starting cost for a custom web development is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

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

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

Here are some examples of site requests that Saint John website support companies might help with:

• Updating your website platform.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.

Set Goals for Your Saint John, NB Website

Let's figure out what you want from your Saint John web development project!

In addition to designing Saint John-area websites, our agency also provides website design services to those in Moncton, and Fredericton.

Picking a Platform for Your Saint John, NB Website

Your Saint John website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based website projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Saint John, 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 website 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 web developers, making it possible to find a local Saint John website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Saint John build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend 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 Saint John businesses with an existing WordPress website. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• Most small businesses in Saint John 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.
• 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 Saint John, you'll probably need a Shopify web developer.

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

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

• We often recommend Shopify for Saint John merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Saint John without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• For Saint John web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than 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 Saint John 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 Saint John, NB Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Saint John web development or ecommerce web design company before starting a project. Here are 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 premium web designers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the web developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Saint John website overhaul project.
• Does the website developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We create design mockups for Saint John companies that choose a custom web development service, and provide template samples for clients that choose a template-based web development service.
• Which CMS platform does your Saint John website 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 Saint John 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 experience with creative solutions? As a comprehensive website development agency, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
