Our Kent Website Services
We are a complete web design company with a large team of in-house 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
Searching for an affordable site option? Your Kent business 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 website templates that match the look and feel you want in your next website or online store.
Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 templated web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated 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 Kent 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.
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 site performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Kent 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 Kent small business access to a website developer or ecommerce web developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.
Here are some examples of website requests that Kent web maintenance companies might help with:
- Updating your site platform.
- Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Freshening your blog with new content.
- Rearranging the navigation menu of your Kent website.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
- Changing the look and feel of your website.
- Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage issues.
- Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Providing solutions to other website glitches.
- Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Let's figure out what you want from your Kent website design project!
In addition to designing Kent-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Auburn, Bellingham, Everett, Kennewick, Kent, Kirkland, Redmond, Renton, Seattle, Spokane, Spokane Valley, Tacoma, and Vancouver.
Picking a Platform for Your Kent, WA Website
The foundation of your Kent website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Our web designers and ecommerce website 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
More than 40% of websites in Washington and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Kent, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.
- WordPress has thousands of third-party plugins available that can provide additional functionality for your website.
- There's a huge community of WordPress contributors helping to make the platform more stable, secure, and scalable.
- WordPress has a large following among expert web development agencies and freelance web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Kent website developer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce website developer in Kent.We help Kent 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 Kent 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 Kent organizations with an existing WordPress website. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
- Most businesses in Kent who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for WordPress or WooCommerce. As an alternative, Shopify has monthly fees and their apps are often more expensive than WooCommerce or WordPress plugins.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify web designer in Kent.
Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Washington.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:
- For Kent merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Kent without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- When Kent 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 that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
- We often recommend Shopify for Kent 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 Kent, WA Website Designer
There are several important questions to ask your prospective Kent website design or ecommerce development agency before proceeding with your project. Here are some 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 are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Kent website redesign project.
- Does the website designer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the website? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Kent website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom web design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
- What platform does your Kent website developer use? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast can your Kent 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.
- Does the web development agency provide innovative solutions? As a complete web design company, we enjoy a design or functionality challenge! Simply reach out to set up a phone call to discuss your needs!

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!
