We offer all types of web design services from the most basic to the most robust custom programming:
Sometimes people will tell us that that are looking for a simple ecommerce site. However, whenever we are doing anything with ecommerce, web development it isn’t simple. For instance, this type of site would require a content management system. Additionally, it would need a merchant account and gateway to process credit card transactions. Plus, there can also be many other features and functions. Consequently, that can dramatically raise the cost. This is especially true of fully customized ecommerce websites.
Recently we began to offer affordable ecommerce web design by using a template. What happens is, we basically copy and paste each time we sell another ecommerce website. A basic or simple web design would be the type that doesn’t have a Content Management System or CMS. However, for the past several years none of our clients have wanted a basic website. Today everyone wants to be able to change the pictures and text and add more pages whenever they like.
As a result, we have so many affordable ways to make a CMS website that there is no reason to have a non-CMS website. In fact, the static pages would all have to be custom programmed one by one. Consequently, the old style, basic website would take longer to build. Once we build a CMS website, you only have to click a Page Add button. Then, you can add as many additional pages as you like. Best of all, you add them without paying us for programming.
An ecommerce or e-commerce web design is one has some type of shopping cart system. Additionally, all ecommerce sites also have a Content Management System. This allows you to add new products and to change prices. People often ask us, “What will an ecommerce website cost to develop?” and the answer depends upon the options. There is no single car that everyone wants. Likewise, there is no single ecommerce website that would be perfect for everyone.
For example, we can custom program all types of options. These options can include inventory management, shipping functions, and label printing. Sometimes it is better to use a web development platform such as Magento Ecommerce. This way we can avoid custom programming since many options are included. Consequently, that cuts down on web development time saving you money. Now we have also developed a way to get affordable ecommerce websites.
With a Content Management System, you can keep your website current. For example, you may add info to a blog or change pictures on pages. Plus you can add new pages and new sections. The only problem is that not all CMS sites are created equal. For instance, we have had some clients come to us after paying for a new website that was made by someone else. They were told they’d have to pay for training classes on how to use the CMS.
They end up frustrated and annoyed because it isn’t user-friendly. Additionally, they don’t feel like learning something new when they are trying to run their business. For that reason, we build easy to use Content Management Systems. In fact, if you know how to type an email then you have all the skills required to operate our CMS. Depending upon the needs of our client we may be able to use a simple WordPress site which comes with a CMS.
There was a time when we thought we were so modern because we had a laptop computer instead of a desktop computer. Today even our laptops have been replaced by tablets and smartphones. Additionally, we used to think that only kids used smartphones to go online. However, that is far from accurate today. In fact, estimates are that over 60% of all online searches are being done on tablets and smartphones.
Consequently, the desktop and laptop computers are doing fewer searches. For that reason, having a mobile friendly website is no longer optional. The good news is that today you don’t need to buy a second, separate website that is mobile friendly. We are designing all of our new ecommerce and CMS websites to be responsive. That means, that they will automatically detect the device being used and reshape themselves to fit that device. Contact us today about any web design services that you may need.
