Springfield Web Design Services

Our Springfield Website Services

We are a one-stop web development agency with a large group of onsite web designers and ecommerce developers. 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 an affordable website? Your Springfield small business might be interested in a template site!

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.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your preferred template for us to install on your development site.

From there, we'll customize the theme to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.

The starting price 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 website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website development agency, we prefer to start every Springfield 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 web developers 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 website performance and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Springfield company.

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

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

Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with a web developer or ecommerce web designer on our team who can fix nearly any website issue.

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

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new pages whenever you release something new.

Picking a Platform for Your Springfield, IL Website

Your Springfield website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top website designers 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

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Springfield and the greater Illinois area.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Springfield, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web development. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
• WordPress is popular among professional website design firms and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Springfield website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce web developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Springfield web development projects that need a custom template with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Springfield small business 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 redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Springfield 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. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web developer in Springfield.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:

• For Springfield merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
• For Springfield 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, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• We often recommend Shopify for Springfield ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery times for development and marketing initiatives. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Springfield, IL Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Springfield 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 project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce development projects for Springfield businesses. We have our own internal team of USA website designers.
• Will the web developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Springfield website design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
• Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for Springfield clients that choose a custom website development service, and provide template samples for businesses that choose a template-based web development service.
• Which CMS platform does your Springfield web designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast is your Springfield website development service? 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.
