Our Laredo 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 broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom web design services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Searching for an affordable site option? Your Laredo business might be interested in a template website!
Rather than creating design mockups and building a custom template for your website, we can find and share several website templates that closely align with the look and feel you want.
Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired 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 price for a templated website design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce website developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Web Designs
As a custom website development agency, we like to start every Laredo website 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 web developers begin their work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.
After you approve the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page performance and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Laredo small business.
The starting cost for a custom web design is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as a few weeks. For custom ecommerce website 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 web maintenance services.
We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Laredo organization access to a website developer or ecommerce website designer who can fix just about any problem.
Here are some examples of website requests that Laredo web support companies might help with:
- Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
- Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
- Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
- Staying fresh with new blog content.
- Rearranging the navigation menu of your Laredo website.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Backing up your website's files and databases.
- Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
- Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage problems.
- Enhancing technical SEO with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Investigating and solving any other website issue.
- Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Laredo, TX Website
A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Laredo website. Even though our top web developers and ecommerce 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 Texas 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 Laredo, but just because it's the best for a customized web development service. While there are dozens of content management systems to consider, we've found WordPress to be the most scalable platform 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 web designers, helping ensure you can find a local Laredo website designer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce web designer in Laredo.Our WooCommerce website development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Laredo build amazing stores with WooCommerce.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website developers like WooCommerce:
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Laredo web design projects that need a custom theme with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
- If your Laredo company 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 Laredo organizations who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee to use WordPress or WooCommerce. If you want to use Shopify, you'll need a paid subscription for the platform and their apps are often more expensive than WordPress or WooCommerce plugins.
- WooCommerce is great if you're in an industry that's 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 developer in Laredo.
Our Shopify website development team has experience designing websites for online stores around Texas within the Shopify platform.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:
- For Laredo merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Laredo without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
- For Laredo web companies that don't need a lot of custom features, we often recommend Shopify. 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 Laredo ecommerce businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Laredo, TX Web Designer
You should ask your prospective Laredo website design or ecommerce web design agency several questions before you get started. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom website design or ecommerce website development project:
- Does the website designer outsource the project? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce developers, we don't outsource.
- Will the web designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Laredo search engine optimization.
- Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide theme samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Laredo website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the site build gets too far along. However, that is only possible if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
- What platform does your Laredo web designer use? Because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast is your Laredo website design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to finish custom web design projects, and 3-4 weeks to finish template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
- Does the website development agency have experience with 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!

Sarah Grantham
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!!!
Alo Health
WebCitz designed our Alo Health website and did such a great job of walking us step-by-step through the process, knowing the tech world was not a strength of ours. We love that we are able to change content whenever we want, but if we run into problems, they are a quick email away. They have been responsive, reliable and efficient. Thanks, WebCitz!
Jeff Ring
This company is just a thrill to work with. Everyone is so friendly and eager to help even with the smallest items. They are always very accommodating when you stop by to look at the magnificent fish tank and will greet you with a warm cappuccino.
Joe Simmons
David Wurst and WebCitz have been a great hosting company to work with for over 10 years. They provide exceptional service and knowledge with their customers and always get it done immediately. I will never work with any other company.
George Ormond
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!
Carissa Giebel
They are great to work with. Always quick to respond to my questions and assist when needed! They have been working with me at Legacy Law Group, LLC for many years.
