Syracuse Web Design Services

Our Syracuse 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 broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Syracuse company 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 template for us to install on your development site.

We will then tailor the theme to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.

The starting cost for a templated website design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Syracuse website design service from scratch.

This approach allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements. You'll appreciate seeing the look and feel of your future site before our website designers start building the site. In addition, these mockups can undergo updates 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 site speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Syracuse business.

The starting cost for a custom web development 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.

3.) Website Maintenance

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

We view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Syracuse small business access to a web developer or ecommerce developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

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

• Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Syracuse website.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Making backups of your website's files and databases.
• Making your website look and feel better.
• Fixing website scan issues or Google Search Console coverage problems.
• Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Investigating and solving any other site issue.

Picking a Platform for Your Syracuse, NY Website

Your Syracuse website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top web developers and ecommerce developers 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 New York and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source site platform.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Syracuse, 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 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 is popular among professional web design companies and freelance web developers, making it possible to find a local Syracuse web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce web designers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Syracuse website 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Syracuse businesses with an existing WordPress website. 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?
• WooCommerce is a good open-source option for Syracuse organizations. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Syracuse, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

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

• Syracuse merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Syracuse without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Syracuse web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
• The best ecommerce platform for Syracuse organizations that rely heavily on fast turnaround 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 Syracuse, NY Website Designer

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

• Does the website designer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA web developers, we don't outsource custom web design or ecommerce web development projects to other companies.
• Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Syracuse search engine optimization.
• Will the web designer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Syracuse website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only feasible if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• Which CMS platform does your Syracuse 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 quick is the delivery time for your Syracuse web 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.
• Does the website design firm provide creative solutions? As a comprehensive website development agency, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
