Our Chilliwack Web Services
We are a complete web design company with a large staff of internal website developers and ecommerce web developers. Our website design firm is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web design services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Looking for an affordable site? Your Chilliwack 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.
Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme 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 development is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Website Developments
As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Chilliwack web 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. In addition, these mockups can undergo tweaks until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.
After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better site performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Chilliwack business.
The starting cost for a custom web development is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce developments, the cost 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 support services.
We view website maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Chilliwack small business access to a website developer or ecommerce web developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.
Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Chilliwack web maintenance services:
- Updating your website platform.
- Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
- Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
- Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
- Rearranging the navigation menu of your Chilliwack site.
- Improving page performance to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Backing up your website's files and databases.
- Changing the look and feel of your website.
- Fixing website scan concerns or Google Search Console coverage glitches.
- Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Providing a solution to any other website problem.
- Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Chilliwack, British Columbia Website
A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Chilliwack website. Our web designers and ecommerce web developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web development services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Chilliwack and the greater British Columbia area.
Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Chilliwack, 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 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 has a large following among expert website design firms and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Chilliwack website designer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you run an ecommerce site with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce website developer in Chilliwack.Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Chilliwack build amazing stores with WooCommerce.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Chilliwack 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 Chilliwack 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?
- Most organizations in Chilliwack who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
- We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify web designer in Chilliwack.
Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around British Columbia.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers often recommend Shopify:
- Chilliwack merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
- When Chilliwack web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. 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.
- We often recommend Shopify for Chilliwack 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 Chilliwack, British Columbia Web Developer
You should ask your prospective Chilliwack web design or ecommerce web development firm several questions before you get started. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website design project:

- Do the web developers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Chilliwack search engine optimization.
- 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 Chilliwack 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.
- What platform does your Chilliwack website designer use? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast can your Chilliwack website development team turn things around? Most of our custom web design projects are ready in two to three months, but template websites are closer to three to four weeks. Ecommerce projects usually require more time.
