Our Long Beach Website Services
We are a complete web development agency with a large staff of internal website designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website design services.
1.) Template-Based Website Developments
Looking for a low-cost website? Your Long Beach small business might be interested in a template website!
Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom theme for your website, we can search for a few website templates that match the look and feel you want in your next site or online store.
Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired 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 Long Beach 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. In addition, these mockups can undergo edits until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.
Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our web development team will merge it into a custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Long Beach small business.
The starting price for a custom web design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website designs, 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 think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Long Beach organization access to a web developer or ecommerce web developer who can fix just about any problem.
Here are a few examples of site requests that might need Long Beach website support services:
- Updating your website platform.
- Installing app, theme or plugin updates.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Staying fresh with new blog content.
- Rearranging the navigation menu of your Long Beach website.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Making backups of your website's files and databases.
- Changing the look and feel of your website.

Picking a Platform for Your Long Beach, CA Website
A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Long Beach website. While our top website designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web design services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
With more than 40% market share in California and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Long Beach, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website development. 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 Long Beach website designer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you run an ecommerce site with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce website developer in Long Beach.We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Long Beach or other parts of United States.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers like WooCommerce:
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Long Beach website development projects that need a custom theme with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
- If your Long Beach small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
- Most businesses in Long Beach who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. There are no monthly fees to use WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
- WooCommerce is good if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce site in Long Beach, you'll probably need a Shopify website developer.
Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around California.
Our ecommerce website designers love Shopify for these reasons:
- For Long Beach merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Long Beach web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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 Long Beach companies 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 Long Beach, CA Website Designer
You should ask your prospective Long Beach web development or ecommerce development company several questions before you get started. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce web design project:
- Does the web designer outsource the website 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.
- Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Long Beach SEO.
- Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Long Beach custom website 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.
- What platform does your Long Beach 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 Long Beach 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 examples of 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!
