San Jose Web Design Services

Our San Jose Web Services

We are a one-stop website development agency with a large group of onsite website designers and ecommerce web designers. 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 San Jose small 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.

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

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every San Jose web 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 designers begin their work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved page speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your San Jose 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 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 Jose company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from San Jose web maintenance companies, including:

• 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.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging your San Jose website's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Making your site look and feel better.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage glitches.
• Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website problems.

Picking a Platform for Your San Jose, CA Website

Your San Jose 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 Jose, 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 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 is popular among professional website development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local San Jose web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce website 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 San Jose small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into remaking that website just to add ecommerce?
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for San Jose organizations. 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.
• 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 San Jose, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:

• For San Jose merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in San Jose without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for San Jose web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in 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 San Jose 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 Jose, CA Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective San Jose 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 Jose SEO.
• Will the website designer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for San Jose website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your San Jose web developer plan to use on your website project? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your San Jose website design service? Most of our custom website development 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 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!
