Our Providence Web Services

We are a one-stop web design company with a large group of onsite 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 Providence organization might be interested in a template website!

Instead of creating design mockups and developing your website in a custom theme, we can hand-pick several website templates to share with you that closely match your desired look and feel.

But don't worry - you'll have the option to choose your favorite 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 web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Providence website 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.

Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our web development team will merge 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 Providence 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.

We view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Providence small business access to a web developer or ecommerce web designer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Providence web support services:

  • Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
  • Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
  • Adding new web pages as you release new information.
  • Freshening your blog with new content.
  • Rearranging the navigation menu of your Providence website.
  • Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
  • Making backups of your website's files and databases.
  • Changing the look and feel of your website.
  • Fixing Google Search Console coverage problems.
  • Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
  • Providing solutions to other site glitches.
  • Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Providence, RI Website

Your Providence site is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. 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

With more than 40% market share in Rhode Island and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.

Our website design firm chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Providence, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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 website design firms and freelance website designers, helping ensure you can find a local Providence web designer to help you.

2.) WooCommerce

If you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web developer in Providence.

We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Providence or other parts of United States.

Here's why our ecommerce website developers love 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.
  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Providence businesses with an existing WordPress website. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Providence businesses who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use 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.

WooCommerce Development

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website in Providence, you'll probably need a Shopify website designer.

Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Rhode Island.

Our ecommerce web developers love Shopify for these reasons:

  • Providence merchants looking for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Providence without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
  • We often recommend Shopify for Providence web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It is often more expensive to develop custom functionality within 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 Providence 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 Providence, RI Web Designer

You should ask a few questions of your prospective Providence website design or ecommerce website development agency before starting a 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 project? Because we have our own internal team of USA website designers, we don't outsource custom web development or ecommerce development projects to other companies.
  • Do the website designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? For any Providence 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 Providence 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 Providence website designer use? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
  • How fast can your Providence website development team turn things around? Most of our custom web 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 website design firm have examples of creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we like unique design and functionality requirements! Just let us know what you have in mind and we will be happy to help!

WebCitz helped the Oshkosh Area Humane Society with our new website and they were great to work with. Responsive, professional and affordable. I think the biggest perk for us was having someone local we could talk to for assistance instead of long wait times. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking to start up or revamp their website.

Corey was absolutely amazing in helping me with my issue. He was encouraging as we worked through things that to me were huge, but he made them seem small. Will definitely use WebCitz again!!!

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!
