Our Bellingham Web Services

We are a full-service website design firm with a large team of in-house web designers and ecommerce website developers. Our web development agency is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom website design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Developments

Looking for an affordable website? Your Bellingham small business might be interested in a template website!

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

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 templated web design is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce website designs, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Designs

As a custom website design firm, we like to start every Bellingham web design 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 website development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo changes until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.

After you approve the design mockup, our website development team will integrate it into a completely custom theme. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced page speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Bellingham small business.

The starting price for a custom web design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. 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 view web maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Bellingham company access to a web developer or ecommerce website developer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Bellingham website maintenance firms, including:

  • Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
  • Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
  • Adding new pages whenever you release something new.
  • Freshening your blog with new content.
  • Rearranging your Bellingham website's navigation menu.
  • Improve your website performance to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
  • Making backups of your website's files and databases.
  • Changing the look and feel of your website.
  • Fixing website audit glitches or Google Search Console coverage issues.
  • Enhancing technical search engine optimization with structured data, open graph tags, etc.
  • Investigating and solving any other site issue.
  • Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Bellingham, WA Website

The foundation of your Bellingham website is the content management system you choose for the design project. Our web developers and ecommerce web designers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best website design services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.

1.) WordPress

WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Bellingham and the greater Washington area.

Our web design company chooses to specialize in WordPress not only because it is the most popular CMS platform in Bellingham, but also because it is simply the best overall. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

  • You can add 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.
  • With WordPress, you should easily be able to find a local Bellingham web designer to help you with your project.

5 Steps to a Winning Website Project

2.) WooCommerce

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

Our WooCommerce website development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Bellingham build amazing stores with WooCommerce.

These are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers like WooCommerce:

  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Bellingham website development projects that require a custom designed theme with complex functionality, but are working on a limited budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Bellingham small businesses with an existing WordPress website. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into redesigning that website just to add ecommerce?
  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Bellingham organizations who prefer open-source software. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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.
  • If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

WooCommerce Development

3.) Shopify

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

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

Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce developers often recommend Shopify:

  • For Bellingham merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Bellingham without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
  • When Bellingham 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.
  • We often recommend Shopify for Bellingham 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 Bellingham, WA Website Designer

There are several important questions to ask your prospective Bellingham web development or ecommerce development company before proceeding with your project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce web design project:

  • Does the web designer outsource the project? We do not outsource custom website development or ecommerce web development projects for Bellingham small businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web developers.
  • Do the web designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Bellingham website redesign project.
  • Will the web developer make a mockup, or provide template samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Bellingham website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only viable if you choose a custom website design service. If you opt for a theme-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
  • What CMS platforms is your Bellingham web designer experienced in? Because of its scalability, ease of use, and popularity, we prefer WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
  • How fast can your Bellingham website design team turn things around? Most of our custom website development 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 web design company have experience with 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!

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!

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.
