Our Surrey Website Services
We are a one-stop web design company with a large group of onsite web developers and ecommerce developers. Our website design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web development services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Looking for an affordable website? Your Surrey company might be interested in a template website!
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 favorite 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 templated website development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce web developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Web Developments
As a custom web design company, we like to start every Surrey web development 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.
After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better website speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Surrey 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 Surrey 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 Surrey website maintenance firms might help with:
- Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
- Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
- Rearranging the navigation menu of your Surrey website.
- Improving site performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Making backups of your website's files and databases.
- Making your website look and feel better.
- Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage concerns.
- Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Investigating and solving any other website issue.
- Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Surrey, BC Website
Your Surrey website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. While our top web developers and ecommerce web designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide website design services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Surrey and the greater British Columbia area.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Surrey, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.
- You can add new functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
- There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
- WordPress has a large following among expert web development agencies and freelance website designers, helping ensure you can find a local Surrey web developer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you'll likely be searching for a WooCommerce website designer in Surrey.Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Surrey build amazing stores with WooCommerce.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom theme 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 Surrey business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money rebuilding your content-based site just to add ecommerce.
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Surrey businesses who prefer open-source software. 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.
- We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Surrey, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.
We can design a website for your online business in or around British Columbia that runs on the Shopify platform.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:
- For Surrey merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Surrey without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
- For Surrey 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 versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
- We often recommend Shopify for Surrey ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround 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 Surrey, BC Web Designer
You should ask a few questions of your prospective Surrey website design or ecommerce website development agency before starting a project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce development project:
- Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce web design projects for Surrey businesses. We have our own internal team of professional web developers.
- Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Surrey website development project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
- Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Surrey website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom web development service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
- What platform does your Surrey web designer use? Because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast can your Surrey web 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.
- Does the web development agency have experience with innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
