Salem, OR Web Design Services

Our Salem Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Salem small business might be interested in a template site!

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom template for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.

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 web development is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Salem website 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 web designers begin their work. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate 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 Salem 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.

Here are a few examples of site requests that might need Salem website support services:

• Updating your website platform.

Picking a Platform for Your Salem, OR Website

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

1.) WordPress

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

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Salem, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. 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 huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Salem website developer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce developers love WooCommerce:

• If you need a custom template 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.
• If your Salem organization website runs on WordPress, we typically 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 companies in Salem who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce 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 Salem, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

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

Our ecommerce developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Salem 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.
• We often recommend Shopify for Salem web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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 Salem small businesses 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 Salem, OR Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Salem website design or ecommerce development agency before starting a project. Here are 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've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Salem website overhaul project.
• Does the website developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Salem custom website design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a theme-based website design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• What CMS platforms is your Salem web developer experienced in? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Salem web design service? We typically complete custom web development projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the web design company provide original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
