Our Fredericton Web Services
We are a complete web design company with a large staff of internal web developers and ecommerce web designers. Our website design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website development services.
1.) Template-Based Web Designs
Looking for a low-cost website? Your Fredericton organization might be interested in a template website!
Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template for your website, we can search for a few site 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.
From there, we'll customize the template to match your color scheme and then set up your web pages.
The starting price for a template-based website design 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 Designs
As a custom web development agency, we prefer to start every Fredericton website 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 website development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.
Following your approval of the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better website speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Fredericton organization.
The starting cost for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.
3.) Website Maintenance
After the launch of your website, or if you have one, you might be interested in website support services.
We think of web maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Fredericton business access to a website developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.
Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Fredericton web maintenance firms, including:
- Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
- Installing app, theme or plugin updates.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Staying fresh with new blog content.
- Rearranging your Fredericton site's navigation menu.
- Improving website speed to help you pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
- Changing the look and feel of your website.
- Fixing Google Search Console coverage issues.
- Improving technical search engine optimization by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Providing solutions to other site glitches.

Picking a Platform for Your Fredericton, New Brunswick Website
A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Fredericton website. While our top web designers and ecommerce 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 New Brunswick and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Fredericton, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web development. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform 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 is popular among professional website design firms and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Fredericton web designer to work with you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web developer in Fredericton.We help Fredericton startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom theme with complex functionality, but have a limited budget, we often recommend WooCommerce. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
- If your Fredericton business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into rebuilding that site just to add ecommerce?
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Fredericton businesses who prefer open-source software. 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 great if you're in an industry that's not accepted by Shopify.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular web-based ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website developer in Fredericton.
Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around New Brunswick.
Our ecommerce web designers love Shopify for these reasons:
- We often recommend Shopify for Fredericton merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Fredericton without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- For Fredericton web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, 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.
- We often recommend Shopify for Fredericton ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast turnaround 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 Fredericton, New Brunswick Website Designer
You should ask your prospective Fredericton web development or ecommerce web design company several questions before you get started. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website development or ecommerce web development project:
- Does the website designer outsource the website project? Because we have our own internal team of expert website designers, we don't outsource custom web development 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 Fredericton SEO.
- Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We create design mockups for Fredericton clients that choose a custom website design service, and provide template samples for businesses that choose a template-based website design service.
- Which CMS platform does your Fredericton website developer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast can your Fredericton website design team turn things around? Most of our custom web 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 provide original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!

This company is just a thrill to work with. Everyone is so friendly and eager to help even with the smallest items. They are always very accommodating when you stop by to look at the magnificent fish tank and will greet you with a warm cappuccino.
Alo Health
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!

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!
