Thornton Web Design Services

Our Thornton Website Services

We are a complete web design company with a large team of in-house web developers and ecommerce web designers. Our website design firm is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Thornton business might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom theme 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the template you prefer, which we will then 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 cost for a templated web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Thornton website development 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 designers begin their work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Thornton organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce developments, 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 support services.

We think of web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Thornton business access to a website developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Thornton web maintenance firms might help with:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new information.
• Freshening your blog with new content.

Set Goals for Your Thornton, CO Website

Before proceeding with the selection of a template or custom web development agency for your Thornton business, it is important to understand what the goals are for your website project. Here are some of the most common website development and ecommerce web development goals we've seen for Thornton websites:

1. To create a website or online store for a new business in Thornton.

Let's figure out what you want from your Thornton website design project!

In addition to designing Thornton-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Arvada, Aurora, Boulder, Colorado Springs, Denver, Fort Collins, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Longmont, Loveland, Pueblo, and Westminster.

Picking a Platform for Your Thornton, CO Website

The foundation of your Thornton website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Our web designers and ecommerce web 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 Thornton and the greater Colorado area.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Thornton, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website design. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

• WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
• 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 Thornton web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce website development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Thornton build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers like WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Thornton website development projects that require a custom designed theme with complex functionality, but are working on a limited budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• If your Thornton small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Thornton small businesses who prefer open-source software. 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 hosted ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce site using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Thornton.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Colorado.

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

• We often recommend Shopify for Thornton merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Thornton without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• When Thornton web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within 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 Thornton businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Thornton, CO Web Developer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Thornton web design or ecommerce web development firm before proceeding with your project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website design project:

• Does the website developer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom web design or ecommerce website development projects for Thornton organizations. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Thornton website refresh project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Thornton 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 Thornton 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 fast is your Thornton website design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom web design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web development agency have experience with 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!
