Our Longmont Website Services
We are a complete web design company with a large staff of internal web developers and ecommerce developers. Our website design team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web development services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Looking for a low-cost website? Your Longmont company 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 theme for us to install on your development site.
Next, we will modify the template to use your color scheme and then add in your web pages.
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 love to begin every Longmont web 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 website designers begin their work. These mockups can be altered to your satisfaction, allowing you to finalize the design concept and proceed with confidence.
Once you've given your approval for the design mockup, our web development team will merge it into a custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better site performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Longmont business.
The starting cost for a custom web development is about $9,500, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For custom ecommerce 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 support services.
Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with a website developer or ecommerce website designer on our team who can fix nearly any website issue.
Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Longmont website support firms, including:
- Updating your website platform.
- Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Freshening your blog with new content.
- Rearranging your Longmont website's navigation menu.
- Improve your website speed to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Backing up your website's files and databases.

Picking a Platform for Your Longmont, CO Website
A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Longmont site. 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 Colorado and the country, WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform.
We specialize in WordPress not just because it's the most popular CMS platform in Longmont, but just because it's the best for a customized website design 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 is popular among professional web design companies and freelance web developers, making it possible to find a local Longmont website designer to work with you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you want an ecommerce website using WordPress, you'll likely need a WooCommerce website designer in Longmont.We've helped startups and existing ecommerce companies develop great WooCommerce stores in Longmont or other parts of United States.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- If you need a custom template 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.
- If your Longmont organization website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into rebuilding that site just to add ecommerce?
- Most businesses in Longmont who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. You don't have to pay a monthly fee for 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.
3.) Shopify
Shopify is the most popular hosted ecommerce platform. If you want to run an ecommerce website using Shopify, you'll need a Shopify website designer in Longmont.
Our Shopify web development team has experience designing websites for online stores around Colorado within the Shopify platform.
Here are some reasons our ecommerce website developers like Shopify:
- Longmont merchants searching for a hosted ecommerce platform should check out Shopify. With Shopify, you don't have to worry about hosting configuration or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Longmont web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. The cost of developing custom functionality within Shopify is often higher than in WordPress. Additionally, Shopify apps often have monthly fees that really add up, in comparison to the less expensive WordPress plugin options.
- The best ecommerce platform for Longmont 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 Longmont, CO Web Developer
You should ask your prospective Longmont web design or ecommerce website design firm several questions before you get started. Let's go over some of the most common ones we get asked before starting a custom web design or ecommerce website development project:
- Does the web developer outsource the website project? Because we have our own internal team of USA website designers, we don't outsource custom web development or ecommerce web design projects to other companies.
- Will the web designers create 301 redirects to help search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Longmont search engine optimization.
- Does the web designer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We find it is easier to create a design mockup for Longmont 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 template-based website, we'll provide several template samples for you to review instead.
- Which CMS platform does your Longmont web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How fast is your Longmont web design service? It takes us about 2-3 months to complete custom web development projects, and 3-4 weeks to complete template websites. Ecommerce developments often take longer.
- Does the website design firm have examples of creative solutions? As a comprehensive web development agency, we love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!
