Our Vancouver Website Services
We are a one-stop web development agency with a large group of onsite web designers and ecommerce developers. Our web design team is broken into two groups, each specializing in either template or custom website design services.
1.) Template-Based Web Developments
Looking for an affordable website? Your Vancouver small business might be interested in a template site!
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.
Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired theme for us to 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 web developments, the price and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Website Designs
As a custom website design firm, we love to begin every Vancouver 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. 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. Opting for a custom template can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced site speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Vancouver business.
The starting price for a custom website development is around $9,500, and it can be finished in as little as 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 Vancouver 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 require service from Vancouver web support companies, including:
- Upgrading your website platform to the latest version.
- Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Writing new blog content to help you stay fresh.
- Rearranging your Vancouver site's navigation menu.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
- Changing the look and feel of your website.
- Troubleshooting Google Search Console coverage problems.
- Adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Providing solutions to other site glitches.

Picking a Platform for Your Vancouver, WA Website
Your Vancouver website is likely powered by a content management system, or CMS. Even though our top website developers and ecommerce web 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
WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Vancouver 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 Vancouver, but also because it is simply the best overall. 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 functionality to your site 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 web design companies and freelance website developers, helping ensure you can find a local Vancouver web designer to help you.
2.) WooCommerce
To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you'll likely be searching for a WooCommerce web designer in Vancouver.We help Vancouver startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.
These are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers like WooCommerce:
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Vancouver web development projects that need a custom template with complex functionality, but are on a budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Vancouver 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 Vancouver organizations 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.
- We also recommend WooCommerce for those in an industry not accepted by Shopify.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web developer in Vancouver.
Our Shopify developers have experience designing websites for online companies in and around Washington.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce web designers like Shopify:
- Vancouver merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Vancouver without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Vancouver web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. 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.
- Shopify is a good option for Vancouver ecommerce businesses that need fast turnaround times for marketing and development. It is often faster with Shopify to test out new products, themes, apps, or ideas.
Questions to Ask a Vancouver, WA Website Designer
You should ask a few questions of your prospective Vancouver web development or ecommerce development company before starting a project. Here are some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce web design project:
- Does the web designer outsource the website project? We do not outsource custom web design or ecommerce website development projects for Vancouver organizations. We have our own internal team of USA web designers.
- Do the website designers plan to create 301 redirects to help with SEO? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Vancouver SEO.
- Will the website designer make a mockup, or provide theme samples, before starting the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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 Vancouver website development team turn things around? We typically finish custom website design projects in 2-3 months, and template website projects in 3-4 weeks. Ecommerce website projects typically take longer to finish.
- Does the web development agency provide 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!
