St. Louis, MO Web Design Services

Our St. Louis 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 company is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your St. Louis company might be interested in a template website!

Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom template 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.

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

The starting price for a template-based web design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based 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 St. Louis web 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 website development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes 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 website development team will merge it into a custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your St. Louis 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.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need St. Louis web maintenance services:

Picking a Platform for Your St. Louis, MO Website

Your St. Louis website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our website designers and ecommerce web designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web design services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

More than 40% of websites in Missouri 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 St. Louis, but just because it's the best for a customized website 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.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your site.
• 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 St. Louis website designer to help you with your project.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web 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 St. Louis organization already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for St. Louis small businesses who prefer open-source software. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

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

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• For St. Louis 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.
• When St. Louis web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• We often recommend Shopify for St. Louis 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 St. Louis, MO Web Developer

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

• Does the website developer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the web developers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for St. Louis SEO.
• Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for St. Louis companies that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for customers that choose a theme-based website design service.
• What CMS platforms is your St. Louis web developer experienced in? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your St. Louis web design team turn things around? Most of our custom website 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 development agency have examples of 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!
