Topeka, KS Web Design Services

Our Topeka Web Services

We are a full-service website design firm with a large team of in-house web designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web development team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

Searching for an affordable site option? Your Topeka business 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 most liked 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 web design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated 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 Topeka web 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 website before our web developers start building the site. 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 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 Topeka 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.

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 Topeka company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Topeka web maintenance companies might help with:

• Upgrading your site platform to the latest version.
• Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
• Rearranging your Topeka website's navigation menu.
• 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.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage errors.

Set Goals for Your Topeka, KS Website

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

1. To build a website or online store for a new business in Topeka.
2. To give an old website or storefront a fresh look and feel to improve branding and functionality.

5. To comply with ADA, WCAG, and other published guidelines that set the standards for website accessibility.
6. To improve lead generation through design improvements.

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

In addition to designing Topeka-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Kansas City, Lawrence, Olathe, Overland Park, and Wichita.

Picking a Platform for Your Topeka, KS Website

The foundation of your Topeka website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web development services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

More than 40% of websites in Kansas and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Topeka, 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 web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Topeka website developer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce 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 Topeka organization already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Topeka companies who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Topeka, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• For Topeka merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Topeka without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• When Topeka 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 versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
• Shopify is a good option for Topeka 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 Topeka, KS Website Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Topeka website design or ecommerce development agency before proceeding with your project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
• Will the website designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Topeka 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 Topeka 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 Topeka web designer use? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How quick is the turnaround time for your Topeka web design service? We typically complete custom web development projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the web design company have examples of original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
