Santa Rosa Web Design Services

Our Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the template you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

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

The starting cost for a template-based website design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we like to start every Santa Rosa 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. In addition, these mockups can undergo modifications until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our web development team will merge it into a custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Santa Rosa organization.

The starting price for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website developments, 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 maintenance services.

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

Here are some examples of website requests that Santa Rosa website maintenance firms might help with:

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• 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 Santa Rosa website's navigation menu.
• Improve your page performance to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Changing the look and feel of your website.
• Fixing Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website glitches.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Santa Rosa, CA Website

Your Santa Rosa website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top website designers and ecommerce website 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 Santa Rosa, but just because it's the best for a customized website 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 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.
• With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Santa Rosa web designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Santa Rosa or other parts of United States.

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 Santa Rosa 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 Santa Rosa businesses. 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 hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Santa Rosa, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

Our ecommerce developers love Shopify for these reasons:

• For Santa Rosa merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Santa Rosa without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• For Santa Rosa web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, 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 that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• Shopify is a good option for Santa Rosa ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Santa Rosa, CA Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Santa Rosa 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 website project? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce web designers, we don't outsource.
• Will the web 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 Santa Rosa web redesign project.
• Will the web designer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We create design mockups for Santa Rosa clients that choose a custom web design service, and provide template samples for customers that choose a theme-based web design service.
• What CMS platforms is your Santa Rosa web designer experienced in? Because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Santa Rosa 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 examples of creative solutions? As a comprehensive website development agency, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
