Virginia Beach Web Design Services

Our Virginia Beach Web Services

We are a one-stop web design company with a large group of onsite website developers and ecommerce web developers. Our website design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Virginia Beach organization might be interested in a template website!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom template, we can hand-pick several website templates to share with you that closely match your desired look and feel.

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 price for a template website design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website development agency, we prefer to start every Virginia Beach website design 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. 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 web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Virginia Beach small business.

The starting cost for a custom web design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website 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 web maintenance services.

We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Virginia Beach organization access to a website developer or ecommerce website designer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that Virginia Beach web support companies might help with:

• Updating your website platform.
• Installing app, theme or plugin updates.
• Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
• Staying fresh with new blog content.
• Rearranging the navigation menu of your Virginia Beach website.
• 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 concerns.
• Improving technical search engine optimization by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
• Providing solutions to other website issues.
• Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

In addition to designing Virginia Beach-area websites, our company also provides web development services to those in Alexandria, Arlington, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Reston, Roanoke, Richmond, and Lynchburg.

Picking a Platform for Your Virginia Beach, VA Website

Your Virginia Beach 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

With more than 40% market share in Virginia and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Virginia Beach, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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.
• WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
• WordPress is popular among professional web design companies and freelance web developers, making it possible to find a local Virginia Beach website designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Virginia Beach build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers like 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 Virginia Beach 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.
• Most businesses in Virginia Beach who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
• WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's 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 developer in Virginia Beach.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce developers like Shopify:

• We often recommend Shopify for Virginia Beach merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Virginia Beach without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
• For Virginia Beach web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, 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 Virginia Beach small businesses 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 Virginia Beach, VA Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Virginia Beach website design or ecommerce 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 web design project:

• Does the web designer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA website designers, we don't outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects to other companies.
• Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Virginia Beach web redesign project.
• Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the website? We always start with a design mockup for Virginia Beach custom web development projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a template-based web development service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Virginia Beach website designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Virginia Beach web development team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
• Does the web design company have experience with 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!
