Our Salem Web Services
We are a one-stop web design company with a large group of onsite website developers and ecommerce web developers. Our website design team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web development services.
1.) Template-Based Web Designs
Searching for an affordable website option? Your Salem organization might be interested in a template website!
Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom theme for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.
Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then install on your development site.
Next, we will modify the template to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.
The starting price for a template web design is around $3,750, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For template ecommerce web developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Website Designs
As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Salem web design service from scratch.
Our team can create tailor-made mockups that adhere to your brand's unique specifications, providing a preview of your website's aesthetics before our website designers begin their work. Best of all, those mockups can be revised until you're happy with the design concept and are ready to move forward.
Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom theme. A custom template offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved site speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Salem business.
The starting price for a custom website development is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce web 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.
Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with a web developer or ecommerce web developer on our team who can fix nearly any site issue.
Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Salem web maintenance services:
- Updating your website platform.
- Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
- Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
- Freshening your blog with new content.
- Rearranging your Salem website's navigation menu.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.

In addition to designing Salem-area websites, our firm also provides web design services to those in Beaverton, Eugene, Gresham, Medford, Portland, and Salem.
Picking a Platform for Your Salem, OR Website
Your Salem website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we only use WordPress for new content-based website projects. For ecommerce websites we use Shopify or WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
More than 40% of websites in Oregon and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.
We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Salem, but just because it's the best for a customized web design service. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.
- You can add new functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
- WordPress has a huge community of contributors that work together to improve its security, stability, and functionality.
- With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Salem web developer to help you with your project.
2.) WooCommerce
To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you'll likely be searching for a WooCommerce website designer in Salem.We help Salem startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.
Here's why our ecommerce web developers love 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 Salem organization website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. 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 Salem who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
- If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Salem, you'll probably need a Shopify web designer.
We can design a website for your online business in or around Oregon that runs on the Shopify platform.
Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:
- For Salem merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Salem web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, you'll find getting Shopify apps often require monthly subscriptions versus one-time purchases for WordPress plugins.
- The best ecommerce platform for Salem 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 Salem, OR Web Designer
You should ask a few questions of your prospective Salem website design or ecommerce website development agency before starting a project. Here are 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 project? Because we've got our own team of USA website designers and ecommerce web designers, we don't outsource.
- Will the web designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Salem website redesign project.
- Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We always start with a design mockup for Salem custom website design projects to ensure everyone understands the vision for the website. However, if you choose a theme-based website design service we will instead show you template samples before we begin.
- What CMS platforms is your Salem web developer experienced in? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast is your Salem web design service? We typically finish custom website 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 provide original solutions? As a full-service website design firm, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!
