Wilmington, NC Web Design Services

Our Wilmington 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 team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website development services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for a low-cost website? Your Wilmington organization 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.

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

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

2.) Custom Website Designs

As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Wilmington 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 website development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Wilmington 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.

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 Wilmington 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 need Wilmington website maintenance services:

• Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.

Picking a Platform for Your Wilmington, NC Website

The foundation of your Wilmington website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web designers and ecommerce web 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

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

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Wilmington, 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.

• 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 website design firms and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Wilmington website designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here's why our ecommerce developers love WooCommerce:

• We often recommend WooCommerce for Wilmington web 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 Wilmington organizations with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money rebuilding it just to add ecommerce?
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Wilmington organizations who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce 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 Wilmington, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.

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

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

• Wilmington merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Wilmington without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• We often recommend Shopify for Wilmington web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• We often recommend Shopify for Wilmington ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery times for development and marketing initiatives. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.

Questions to Ask a Wilmington, NC Web Developer

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

• Does the website developer outsource the project? Because we have our own internal team of USA web designers, we don't outsource custom website design 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 Wilmington website redesign project.
• Will the web developer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Wilmington website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
• What platform does your Wilmington 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 Wilmington website design team turn things around? Most of our custom website development 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 web design company have experience with original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
