Our Sterling Heights Website Services
We are a one-stop web development agency with a large group of onsite website designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web design company is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom website development services.
1.) Template-Based Web Designs
Looking for an affordable website? Your Sterling Heights organization might be interested in a template website!
Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom theme, we can hand-pick several website templates to share with you that closely match your desired look and feel.
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 template to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.
The starting price for a template website design 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 Designs
As a custom web development agency, we prefer to start every Sterling Heights 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 website development work. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.
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 page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Sterling Heights 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 website designs, 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 support services.
We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Sterling Heights organization access to a web developer or ecommerce web developer who can fix just about any problem.
Here are some examples of site requests that Sterling Heights website support companies might help with:
- Updating your website platform.
- Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Freshening your blog with new content.
- Rearranging your Sterling Heights site's navigation menu.
- Improving page speed to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
- Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.

Picking a Platform for Your Sterling Heights, MI Website
Your Sterling Heights website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web development services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Sterling Heights and the greater Michigan area.
Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Sterling Heights, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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 website design firms and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Sterling Heights website designer to work with you.
2.) WooCommerce
To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you'll likely be searching for a WooCommerce website designer in Sterling Heights.We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Sterling Heights or other parts of United States.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website 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 Sterling Heights small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money remaking your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
- Most small businesses in Sterling Heights 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 web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website designer in Sterling Heights.
Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for online stores around Michigan within the Shopify platform.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:
- Sterling Heights merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Sterling Heights without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Sterling Heights web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
- Shopify is a good option for Sterling Heights 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 Sterling Heights, MI Website Designer

However, if you choose a template-based web development service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.

- How fast can your Sterling Heights website development team turn things around? We typically finish custom website design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
