Our Red Deer Website Services

We are a complete web design company with a large staff of internal web developers and ecommerce developers. Our website design firm is separated into two teams, each working on either template or custom web design services.

1.) Template-Based Web Designs

Searching for an affordable website option? Your Red Deer business might be interested in a template website!

Rather than designing mockups and developing a custom theme 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.

Rest assured, you'll have the opportunity to select the theme you prefer, which we will then 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 template-based website development is $3,750, and it can be completed in as little as a few weeks. For template-based ecommerce web developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.

2.) Custom Web Developments

As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Red Deer web development 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 template. Opting for a custom theme can provide several benefits, including a simplified codebase that usually delivers enhanced website speed and usability, as it was tailored specifically for your Red Deer organization.

The starting price for a custom website design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. 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.

Web maintenance is a reactive support service that connects you with a website developer or ecommerce web developer on our team who can fix nearly any website issue.

Here are a few examples of website requests that might need Red Deer web maintenance services:

  • Updating your website platform.
  • Updating apps, themes, and plugins.
  • Adding new web pages as you release new information.
  • Freshening your blog with new content.
  • Rearranging your Red Deer site's navigation menu.

Picking a Platform for Your Red Deer, Alberta Website

A content management system, or CMS, is what powers your Red Deer website. Our web designers and ecommerce web 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 Alberta and the rest of the country are powered by WordPress.

WordPress is the most popular CMS in Red Deer, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized web design. The following reasons make WordPress the most scalable platform for designing websites, despite the fact there are alternatives for your project.

  • You can add new functionality to your website through third-party WordPress plugins. Not everything has to be built from scratch!
  • WordPress has a large community of contributors helping to improve the platform's functionality, stability, and security.
  • WordPress is popular among professional website development agencies and freelance website designers, making it possible to find a local Red Deer web developer to work with you.

5 Steps to a Winning Website Project

2.) WooCommerce

To run an ecommerce website using WordPress you'll likely be looking for a WooCommerce web developer in Red Deer.

We help Red Deer startups and ecommerce businesses build and launch awesome stores with WooCommerce.

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

  • We often recommend WooCommerce for Red Deer website design projects that require a custom designed template with complex functionality, but are working on a limited budget. This is mostly due to custom theme and functionality work being cheaper in WooCommerce.
  • If your Red Deer business website runs on WordPress, we typically recommend WooCommerce. When you like the look and feel of your content-based website, why spend time and money redesigning it just to add ecommerce?
  • Most businesses in Red Deer who prefer open-source software use WooCommerce. 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.
  • If you're in an industry that's not supported by Shopify, try WooCommerce.

WooCommerce Development

3.) Shopify

Shopify is the most popular SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be searching for a Shopify website developer in Red Deer.

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

Here are some reasons our ecommerce website designers like Shopify:

  • For Red Deer merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce system, we often recommend Shopify. Shopify allows you to run an ecommerce business in Red Deer without the hassle of hosting configurations or platform updates.
  • When Red Deer 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 Red Deer companies that rely heavily on fast turnaround 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 Red Deer, Alberta Website Designer

You should ask your prospective Red Deer web development or ecommerce development company several questions before you get started. Here are some we get asked before starting a custom web development or ecommerce web design project:

  • Does the web designer outsource the work? Because we've got our own team of proficient web designers and ecommerce website developers, we don't outsource.
  • Will the web developers make 301 redirects to help preserve search placements? We are careful when it comes to broken URLs, so we plan to implement 301 redirects during any Red Deer website redesign project.
  • Does the web developer plan to create a mockup, or provide template samples, before building the site? We create design mockups for Red Deer clients that choose a custom website development service, and provide template samples for businesses that choose a template-based web development service.
  • Which CMS platform does your Red Deer web designer plan to use on your website project? Due to its ease of use, popularity, and scalability, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
  • How fast can your Red Deer 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!

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.
