Winnipeg, MB Web Design Services

Our Winnipeg Website Services

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

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Winnipeg business 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.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your most liked template for us to install on your development site.

Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

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

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Winnipeg web 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. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better site speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Winnipeg business.

The starting cost for a custom web development is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

Set Goals for Your Winnipeg, MB Website

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

Let's figure out what you want from your Winnipeg web design project!

Picking a Platform for Your Winnipeg, MB Website

The foundation of your Winnipeg 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

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

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Winnipeg, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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!
• 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 Winnipeg web designer to work with you.

2.) WooCommerce

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers tend to recommend 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.
• We often recommend WooCommerce for Winnipeg small businesses with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
• Most small businesses in Winnipeg who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
• If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce site using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web designer in Winnipeg.

Our Shopify website development team has experience designing websites for online stores around Manitoba within the Shopify platform.

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:

• For Winnipeg merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Winnipeg without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
• For Winnipeg web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
• The best ecommerce platform for Winnipeg 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 Winnipeg, MB Web Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Winnipeg website design or ecommerce website 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 development project:

• Does the web designer outsource the website project? Because we've got our own team of premium web designers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
• Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Winnipeg web design 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 always start with a design mockup for Winnipeg custom web design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a theme-based web design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
• Which CMS platform does your Winnipeg website designer plan to use on your site project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
• How fast can your Winnipeg web design team turn things around? 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 experience with original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
