Our Topeka Website Services
We are a comprehensive website development agency with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce web designers. Our web design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom website design services.
1.) Template-Based Web Developments
Searching for an affordable website option? Your Topeka small 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.
But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your preferred template for us to install on your development site.
Next, we will modify the theme to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.
The starting cost for a templated website design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Website Designs
As a custom web development agency, we love to begin every Topeka website 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 site before our website designers start building the site. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.
Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our web development team will merge 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 Topeka organization.
The starting price for a custom website design is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just 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 Topeka 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 Topeka website maintenance firms might help with:
- Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
- Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
- Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
- Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
- Rearranging your Topeka website's navigation menu.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Making backups of your website's files and databases.
- Making your website look and feel better.

Let's figure out what you want from your Topeka website design project!
In addition to designing Topeka-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Kansas City, Lawrence, Olathe, Overland Park, Topeka, and Wichita.
Picking a Platform for Your Topeka, KS Website
The foundation of your Topeka site is the content management system you choose for the design project. 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 Kansas and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Topeka, 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 new functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
- 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 website designers, helping ensure you can find a local Topeka web developer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you'll likely be searching for a WooCommerce website designer in Topeka.We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Topeka or other parts of United States.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers like 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 Topeka organization already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redesigning your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Topeka organizations who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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 in Topeka, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.
We can design a website for your online business in or around Kansas that runs on the Shopify platform.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce web developers like Shopify:
- For Topeka merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Topeka without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
- When Topeka 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 versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
- Shopify is a good option for Topeka ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.
Questions to Ask a Topeka, KS Web Designer
There are several important questions to ask your prospective Topeka website design or ecommerce website development agency before proceeding with your project. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce development project:
- Does the web designer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce web designers, we don't outsource.
- Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? For any Topeka web development 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 building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Topeka website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom web development service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
- What platform does your Topeka website designer use? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How quick is the turnaround time for your Topeka web design service? We typically complete custom web development projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
- Does the web design company have examples of 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!
