Sarasota Web Design Services

Our Sarasota 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

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Sarasota small 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.

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 web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Sarasota web 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. 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. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website performance and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Sarasota company.

The starting price for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Sarasota web support companies, including:

• Updating your website platform.
• Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.

Picking a Platform for Your Sarasota, FL Website

Your Sarasota website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top web developers and ecommerce web designers 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

With more than 40% market share in Florida and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.

We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Sarasota, but just because it's the best for a customized web design 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 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 is popular among professional web development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Sarasota web developer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Sarasota web design projects that require a custom designed template with complex functionality, but are working on a limited budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Sarasota organization website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into rebuilding that site just to add ecommerce?
• Most businesses in Sarasota who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use 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 hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Sarasota, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

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

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

• Sarasota merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Sarasota 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 Sarasota 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 Sarasota, FL Web Developer

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

• Does the web developer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA web designers, we don't outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects to other companies.
• Will the website designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Sarasota SEO.
• 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 Sarasota 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.
• Which CMS platform does your Sarasota 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 Sarasota website design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom web design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
