San Diego Web Design Services

Our San Diego Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your San Diego 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.

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired template for us to 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 website design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every San Diego 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. 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 San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego web maintenance companies might help with:

• Upgrading your site platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging your San Diego site's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Backing up your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.

Picking a Platform for Your San Diego, CA Website

Your San Diego 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 California and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in San Diego, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform for designing websites.

• 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.
• WordPress has a large following among expert website development agencies and freelance website designers, helping ensure you can find a local San Diego web developer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for San Diego web design 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 San Diego company already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for San Diego organizations who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce 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 using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website designer in San Diego.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:

• San Diego merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in San Diego without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When San Diego 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 San Diego small businesses 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 San Diego, CA Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective San Diego website design or ecommerce web design agency before starting a project. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce website development project:

• Does the website designer outsource the website project? Because we've got our own team of USA website developers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for San Diego SEO.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for San Diego custom web design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a template-based web design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• What platform does your San Diego website 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 San Diego web development team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to complete custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web design company provide original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
