Our San Diego Web Services

We are a one-stop website design firm with a large group of onsite web designers and ecommerce web developers. Our web development team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your San Diego 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 website or online store.

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 template to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.

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

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every San Diego 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 website development work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.

Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your San Diego organization.

The starting price for a custom website design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website 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 maintenance services.

We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your San Diego business access to a website developer or ecommerce web designer who can fix just about any problem.

Here are some examples of website requests that San Diego website maintenance firms might help with:

  • Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
  • Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
  • Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
  • Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
  • Rearranging your San Diego site's navigation menu.
  • Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
  • Backing up your website's files and databases.
  • Changing the look and feel of your website.
  • Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage issues.
  • Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
  • Providing solutions to other website concerns.
  • Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

  1. To create a website or online store for a new San Diego company.
  2. To give an old website or storefront a fresh look and feel to improve branding and functionality.

Picking a Platform for Your San Diego, CA Website

Your San Diego website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based website projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

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

WordPress is the most popular CMS in San Diego, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. 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 web development agencies and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local San Diego website developer to help you.

5 Steps to a Winning Website Project

2.) WooCommerce

If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website developer in San Diego.

We help San Diego startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web designers like WooCommerce:

  • We often recommend WooCommerce for San Diego web design projects that need a custom template with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
  • If your San Diego organization already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
  • We often recommend WooCommerce for San Diego companies 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.
  • We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.

WooCommerce Development

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website developer in San Diego.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:

  • San Diego merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in San Diego without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
  • When San Diego web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
  • The best ecommerce platform for San Diego 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 San Diego, CA Website Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective San Diego website design or ecommerce development agency before starting a project. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce web design project:

  • Does the web designer outsource the website project? Because we've got our own team of USA web developers and ecommerce web designers, we don't outsource.
  • 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 San Diego 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 San Diego 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 San Diego web 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 San Diego web development team turn things around? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
  • Does the web design company provide 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!

Corey G at WebCitz was so professional and patient while helping us solve our issues. We appreciate his help so much. This company definitely needs more people like him. Amazing customer service! Thank you Corey G! (:

WebCitz designed our Alo Health website and did such a great job of walking us step-by-step through the process, knowing the tech world was not a strength of ours. We love that we are able to change content whenever we want, but if we run into problems, they are a quick email away. They have been responsive, reliable and efficient. Thanks, WebCitz!

Corey was extremely helpful and spent a considerable amount of time going over my difficulties with a newly created website put together by someone else. I was under a very stressful deadline and he was extremely considerate and helpful. He managed to fix the problems that I was experiencing with my website. I had reached out to a number of website developers for help but only heard back from WebCitz and Corey got back to me within minutes!

Tara Candland

Incredibly responsive, fast, and professional. They quickly understood the issue we were having with our site, which was fairly complicated, and were able to resolve it. They kept us updated in lay terms along the way so that we could understand how the issue was progressing.

Jen Ollanketo

WebCitz helped the Oshkosh Area Humane Society with our new website and they were great to work with. Responsive, professional and affordable. I think the biggest perk for us was having someone local we could talk to for assistance instead of long wait times. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to start up or revamp their website.

What can I say about this company? These people that work there? Unbelievable!! It doesn\'t matter when or why you call, they will help you. The other part of that statement is: I never have to call them! They made a web site for us that works 24/7. But if I do call they actually take care of it right then. … great bunch of guys…Southwest Radio Church really appreciates you!!
