Our Brooklyn Web Services
We are a full-service website design firm with a large team of in-house website designers and ecommerce website designers. Our website development team is separated into two groups, each focusing on either template or custom web design services.
1.) Template-Based Website Designs
Looking for an affordable website? Your Brooklyn 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.
Don't worry though, you'll be able to select your desired template for us to install on your development site.
We will then tailor the theme to align with your color scheme and load in your web content.
The starting cost for a templated web development is about $3,750, and it can be ready in just a few weeks. For templated ecommerce developments, the cost and turnaround will be higher.
2.) Custom Web Developments
As a custom web design company, we love to begin every Brooklyn website development service from scratch.
This approach allows our team to design custom mockups specific to your branding requirements. You'll appreciate seeing the look and feel of your future website before our website designers start building the site. 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 web development team will integrate it into a completely custom template. There are many benefits to a custom theme, including a simplified codebase that often has better page performance and usability since it was developed specifically for your Brooklyn small business.
The starting cost for a custom web design is $9,500, and it can be completed in as little as a few months. For custom ecommerce website 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 web maintenance services.
We think of website maintenance as a reactive support service where we provide your Brooklyn organization access to a website developer or ecommerce website designer who can fix just about any problem.
Here are a few examples of website requests that might require service from Brooklyn web support companies, including:
- Making sure your website's platform is up to date.
- Keeping apps, themes and plugins updated.
- Adding new web pages as you release new information.
- Freshening your blog with new content.
- Rearranging the navigation menu of your Brooklyn website.
- Making your pages faster to pass Google Core Web Vitals.
- Taking backups of your website's files and databases.
- Modifying the look and feel of your website's design.
- Fixing website audit concerns or Google Search Console coverage glitches.
- Improving technical SEO by adding structured data, open graph tags, etc.
- Providing solutions to other website problems.
- Importing / exporting ecommerce product data.

Picking a Platform for Your Brooklyn, NY Website
The foundation of your Brooklyn website is the content management system you choose for the design project. While our top web designers and ecommerce website developers are well-versed in multiple platforms, we prefer to only provide web development services in WordPress, and ecommerce development services in Shopify or WooCommerce.
1.) WordPress
WordPress is simply the most popular open-source website platform, with more than 40% market share throughout Brooklyn and the greater New York area.
WordPress is the most popular CMS in Brooklyn, but it's also the best in terms of overall performance and scalability of a customized website 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 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 is popular among professional web design companies and freelance website developers, making it possible to find a local Brooklyn web designer to work with you.
2.) WooCommerce
If you run an ecommerce website with WordPress, you'll probably need a WooCommerce web designer in Brooklyn.Our WooCommerce web development team has experience helping startups and existing ecommerce businesses in Brooklyn build amazing stores with WooCommerce.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce web developers tend to recommend WooCommerce:
- We often recommend WooCommerce for Brooklyn web development 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 Brooklyn small business already has a WordPress site, we often recommend WooCommerce. If you are happy with the look and feel of your content-based website, why invest the time and money into remaking that website just to add ecommerce?
- WooCommerce is a good open-source option for Brooklyn organizations. 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 SaaS ecommerce platform. To run an ecommerce website using Shopify you will likely be looking for a Shopify web developer in Brooklyn.
Our Shopify website development team has experience designing websites for online stores around New York within the Shopify platform.
Here are some of the reasons our ecommerce website designers often recommend Shopify:
- We often recommend Shopify for Brooklyn merchants interested in a hosted ecommerce platform. With Shopify, you can run an ecommerce business in Brooklyn without worrying about hosting setups or platform updates.
- We often recommend Shopify for Brooklyn web companies without a lot of custom functionality requirements. It's typically more expensive to develop custom functionality in Shopify than 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 Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn, NY Website Designer
There are several important questions to ask your prospective Brooklyn web development or ecommerce development company before proceeding with your project. Let's go over 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 project? We do not outsource custom website development or ecommerce web development projects for Brooklyn small businesses. We have our own internal team of USA web developers.
- Will the web designers make 301 redirects to help preserve search rankings? We always create 301 redirects because we understand how important they are for Brooklyn 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 Brooklyn 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.
- Which CMS platform does your Brooklyn website designer plan to use on your site project? Due to its popularity, scalability, and ease of use, we love WordPress. For ecommerce sites, we recommend WooCommerce or Shopify.
- How quick is the turnaround time for your Brooklyn website design service? Most of our custom web 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 love a challenge! Let us know what you have for unique needs and we will be happy to assist!

WebCitz helped the Oshkosh Area Humane Society with our new website and they were great to work with. Responsive, professional and affordable.
