Our Fort Lauderdale Website Services
We are a complete website design firm with a large staff of internal web designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web development team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web design services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Searching for an affordable site option? Your Fort Lauderdale 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.
But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your most liked theme for us to install on your development site.
We will then tailor the template to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.
The starting price for a template-based web design is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce website designs, the cost and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Web Designs
As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Fort Lauderdale web design service from scratch.
This approach allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements. You'll appreciate seeing the look and feel of your future website before our web developers start building the site. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.
Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our website development team will merge it into a custom theme. There are many benefits to a custom template, including a simplified codebase that often has better page speed and usability since it was developed specifically for your Fort Lauderdale small business.
The starting price for a custom web design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web 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 Fort Lauderdale company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can fix just about any problem.
Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Fort Lauderdale web maintenance services:
- Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
- Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
- Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
- Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
- Rearranging your Fort Lauderdale site's navigation menu.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Backing up your website's files and databases.

Picking a Platform for Your Fort Lauderdale, FL Website
A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Fort Lauderdale site. While our top website designers and ecommerce website designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide website development services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
More than 40% of websites in Florida and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Fort Lauderdale, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. Although there are dozens of content management systems to choose from, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable for designing websites.
- You can add functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
- WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
- With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Fort Lauderdale web developer to help you with your project.
2.) WooCommerce
If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website designer in Fort Lauderdale.We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Fort Lauderdale or other parts of United States.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom template 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 Fort Lauderdale 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 remaking it just to add ecommerce?
- WooCommerce is a great open-source option for Fort Lauderdale small businesses. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. Alternatively, Shopify has monthly fees to use 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.
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 web designer in Fort Lauderdale.
We can design a website for your online business in or around Florida that runs on the Shopify platform.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers often recommend Shopify:
- Fort Lauderdale merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Fort Lauderdale without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Fort Lauderdale web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
- We often recommend Shopify for Fort Lauderdale 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 Fort Lauderdale, FL Website Developer
You should ask your prospective Fort Lauderdale web design or ecommerce website development firm several questions before you get started. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce web development project:
- Does the web developer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce website designers, we don't outsource.
- Will the website developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? For any Fort Lauderdale website design project that will replace an existing website, we plan out 301 redirects early in the project.
- Will the web developer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We create design mockups for Fort Lauderdale customers that choose a custom web development service, and provide template samples for companies that choose a theme-based website development service.
- What CMS platforms is your Fort Lauderdale web designer experienced in? Due to its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How quick is the delivery time for your Fort Lauderdale web development service? It takes us about 2-3 months to complete custom website design projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
