Our Seattle Web Services
We are a one-stop website development agency with a large group of onsite website designers and ecommerce web designers. Our web design company is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web development services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Searching for an affordable website option? Your Seattle company might be interested in a template website!
Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom template 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.
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 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 prefer to start every Seattle website 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 web development work. In addition, these mockups can undergo modifications until you're pleased with the design concept, enabling you to advance with certainty.
Following your approval of the design mockup, our web development team will integrate it into a custom template. A custom theme offers numerous advantages, such as a streamlined codebase that typically results in improved website speed and usability, since it was created exclusively for your Seattle 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 view website maintenance to be a reactive support service that provides your Seattle business access to a website developer or ecommerce web designer who can solve nearly any website problem you have.
Here are some examples of website requests that Seattle web support agencies might help with:
- Updating your website platform.
- Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
- Adding new web pages as you release new products or services.
- Freshening your blog with new content.
- Rearranging your Seattle site's navigation menu.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Backing up your website's files and databases.
- Changing the look and feel of your website.
- Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage problems.
- Improving technical search engine optimization by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Providing solutions to other website issues.
- Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Seattle, WA Website
Your Seattle website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Our web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, but we provide our best web development services in WordPress. We also develop ecommerce sites in Shopify and WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
More than 40% of websites in Washington and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Seattle, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. 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 is popular among professional web development agencies and freelance web designers, making it possible to find a local Seattle website developer to work with you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce website developer in Seattle.We help Seattle startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.
Here's why our ecommerce web designers 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 Seattle small businesses with an existing WordPress site. It doesn't make sense to spend a lot of time and money redoing your content-based website just to add ecommerce.
- Most companies in Seattle who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
- 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 using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website developer in Seattle.
Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Washington.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:
- We often recommend Shopify for Seattle merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Seattle without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- When Seattle web companies don't need a lot of custom functionality, we often recommend Shopify. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees versus WooCommerce plugins that are more affordable.
- The best ecommerce platform for Seattle businesses that rely heavily on fast delivery 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 Seattle, WA Web Developer
You should ask a few questions of your prospective Seattle web design or ecommerce website design firm before starting a project. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website development project:
- Does the web developer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of USA web designers and ecommerce web developers, we don't outsource.
- Will the web developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Seattle SEO.
- Does the website 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 Seattle website projects to help everyone understand the design direction before the website build gets too far along. However, that is only feasible 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.
- Which CMS platform does your Seattle website designer plan to use on your website project? We prefer WordPress because of its ease of use, popularity, and scalability. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast can your Seattle web 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 provide creative solutions? As a comprehensive website 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!

What can I say about this company? These people that work there? Unbelievable!! It doesn\'t matter when or why you call, they will help you. The other part of that statement is: I never have to call them! They made a web site for us that works 24/7. But if I do call they actually take care of it right then. … great bunch of guys…Southwest Radio Church really appreciates you!!
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!
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!
Dawn White
These guys are always there when you need them! Whether the issue is big or small, there is little they cannot handle. I cannot express enough how greatly we appreciate their continued superior service and willingness to assist whenever we need them. Thanks Dave, Corey and the entire WebCitz team!!
