San Francisco Web Design Services

Our San Francisco Web Services

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

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

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

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

Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme for us to install on your development site.

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

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

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we prefer to start every San Francisco website design 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 website developers 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.

After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your San Francisco small business.

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

3.) Website Maintenance

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

We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your San Francisco organization access to a web developer or ecommerce web developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of site requests that San Francisco website support companies might help with:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your San Francisco website.
• Improve your page speed to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
• Fixing website scan issues or Google Search Console coverage problems.
• Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Investigating and solving any other site issue.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your San Francisco, CA Website

Your San Francisco website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top website developers and ecommerce web 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 California 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 San Francisco, but just because it's the best for a customized web development service. 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 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 has a large following among expert website design firms and freelance website designers, helping ensure you can find a local San Francisco web designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers like 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 San Francisco organization already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for San Francisco businesses. 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.
• WooCommerce is good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in San Francisco, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

Our Shopify website development team has experience designing websites for online stores around California within the Shopify platform.

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

• San Francisco merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in San Francisco without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for San Francisco web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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.
• Shopify is a great option for San Francisco ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a San Francisco, CA Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective San Francisco 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 create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for San Francisco SEO.
• 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 San Francisco site 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 website development service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What platform does your San Francisco website designer use? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your San Francisco web development service? 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 experience with 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!
