Vancouver, BC Web Design Services

Our Vancouver Web Services

We are a one-stop website design firm with a large group of onsite website designers and ecommerce website designers. Our website development team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Website Designs

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

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your site in a custom template, 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 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 Vancouver website 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 web 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 website development team will merge it into a 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 Vancouver organization.

The starting cost for a custom website design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. 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 view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Vancouver business access to a website developer or ecommerce website developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Vancouver website maintenance agencies, including:

• 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 your Vancouver site's navigation menu.
• Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
• Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
• Making your website look and feel better.
• Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage issues.
• Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website concerns.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Vancouver, BC Website

Your Vancouver 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

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source site platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Vancouver and the greater British Columbia area.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Vancouver, 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 has a large following among expert web design companies and freelance web developers, helping ensure you can find a local Vancouver web designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Vancouver or other parts of Canada.

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

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Vancouver website development projects that need a custom theme with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Vancouver small 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?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Vancouver organizations 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website designer in Vancouver.

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:

• Vancouver merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Vancouver without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Vancouver web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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 great option for Vancouver ecommerce businesses that need fast delivery times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Vancouver, BC Web Developer

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

• Does the web developer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom website design or ecommerce website development projects for Vancouver businesses. We have our own internal team of skilled website developers.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Vancouver search engine optimization.
• Will the web developer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Vancouver website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What platform does your Vancouver web designer use? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Vancouver website design team turn things around? We typically finish custom web design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
• Does the website design firm have examples of creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!
