Our Abbotsford Website Services

We are a one-stop web development agency with a large group of onsite web designers and ecommerce developers. Our web design company is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web development services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Looking for an affordable website? Your Abbotsford organization 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.

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

From there, we'll customize the theme to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.

The starting cost for a template-based web development is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce web designs, the price and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Website Developments

As a custom web design company, we like to start every Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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 solutions to other website problems.
  • Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Abbotsford, British Columbia Website

Your Abbotsford website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our website designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web design 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 Abbotsford and the greater British Columbia area.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Abbotsford, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website development. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.

  • WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
  • WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
  • WordPress has a large following among expert website design firms and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Abbotsford website designer to help you.

5 Steps to a Winning Website Project

2.) WooCommerce

If you run an ecommerce site with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce website developer in Abbotsford.

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:

  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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.

WooCommerce Development

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 Abbotsford.

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:

  • Abbotsford merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Abbotsford without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
  • When Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford 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 Abbotsford, British Columbia Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Abbotsford website design or ecommerce website development agency before starting a project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce development project:

  • Does the web designer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom web development or ecommerce development projects for Abbotsford small businesses. We have our own internal team of premium website designers.
  • Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? For any Abbotsford web design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
  • Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for Abbotsford clients that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for businesses that choose a template-based website design service.
  • What platform does your Abbotsford website developer use? Because of its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
  • How fast can your Abbotsford web design team turn things around? Most of our custom website 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.
